I love the show and the content. The new intro, however, makes me want to throw my phone out the window every time I hear it. It literally makes me want to stop listening to the podcast episode.

Dropped this podcast after the Temporal episode, which seemed to be mostly complaining about Twitter and people who self-host, rather than pay for the guest’s employer’s managed service. More informative talks, less poorly disguised sales pitches couched in a lot of strange bitterness, please.

He has no problem with Twitter and all fascist commie democrats’ activist tech political censorship, lying, election interference, etc, but Twitter bought by Elon Musk, OH NO! Absolute dishonesty and delusion to claim you like mastodon for open ness, when all of you were fine with fascist/commie democrat twitter and all tech bias. Very transparent. Very dumb.

I really enjoy this series, the host has great guests with unique but applicable perspectives. As a novice data-doer i love hearing about the potential applications of different tech tools.

I’ve been following this podcast for quite a while now and in every episode I learn something new.

A lot went over my head but so much logic and previous personal experiences made sense to me about tuples from one part of the first time I listened.

I will be talking this podcast on my walks with me, super great to just hear something talking about python

I started a training course on Python and was searching for a podcast that I could dive into and gain “live” insights into python. This show does not disappoint. It’s very easy to approach, even with my basic understanding of the language, but when they go deep into the current state of the technology it makes you want to go and research what they’re talking about. Great job everyone, I look forward to each episode.

The summary says it all. Michael has had years of experience at this point picking topics and interviewing guests and it shows. The episodes, even if the subject may not be something you instinctively would want to learn more about, will give you a well rounded understanding and leave you wanting to go out and try whatever library or technique they are taking about.

This and Python Bytes are must listens for Python programmers that want to stay up on the technology!

This is one of the best podcasts for Python. Michael always has guests who are interesting and most often the maintainers of popular Python packages.

This is the one podcast I will prioritize listening to new episodes over any other…and Python Bytes is right behind that. Best source for information about what happening and relevant in the Python ecosystem.

Great interviews that covers the wide area of industries, academics, and hobbyist pursuits that Python gets used for. Always informative and entertaining.

Wonderful informative podcast, frequently I pick out frameworks, code snippets, libraries, and techniques which are just thrown out casually by Michael Kennedy. Amazing!

This was THE podcast to listen to… years ago. Now this has become very formulaic, too many boring interviews with a supposedly important personality, too much talk about web/html/site related environments.

This and Python bites I no longer listen to.

I rather would like a talk whereby the speakers fumble and stumble through using some largely unknown library or environment.

I’m still learning how to code pithon.

Wonderful information!

Michael highlights all aspects of tech, software development and more in this can’t miss podcast! The host and expert guests offer insightful advice and information that is helpful to anyone that listens!

>>>print(‘I like it a lot’)

“””If you think you know Python, listen to this podcast. This language is ever evolving and there’s always a nugget or more for any listener. I really appreciate the show notes! There’s so much content in a single episode, and having the chronological notes and links are an added bonus.”””

>>>quit()

Michael does a great job interviewing folks from the Python community. He keeps the conversation at a good level of detail to still be useful without getting too far into the weeds. Not an easy task in an audio only format.

He also brings to the conversations a broad level of expertise but is still able to ask questions that are relevant to people first encountering a topic.

Michael is the best in the Python podcast universe, but OMG I really wish he would stop saying “whatnot”

Thank you for showing this perspective with the world. Was looking for a pod cast that would help me vocab build. Please keep up the grate work

Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge and encourage growth in the software development and test community!

Any must-listen podcast for any aspiring Python professional.

Absolutely my favorite. He is such a knowledgeable developer, presenter, interviewer and he is also a great teacher. He makes his presentations very accessible and his interviews never feel like an interview.

I started my python and data science journey through this I look forward to his podcast every week now.

All the best michael.

This is an excellent podcast. The topics, the guests, the host, the interviews - really well done!

Interesting guests, host does a great job moderating and leading the conversation. Awesome for both advanced and beginner python users.

Michael does a good job of trying to represent the myriad of areas people use Python as well as the evolution of the language itself.

Not a “how-to” but addictively fascinating. It is neat to see how people are using Python.

The host speaks very quickly, and a lot of his responses feel like he’s just trying to quickly get to the next point. Relax your schedule, let people answer naturally. Calm down.

Great and informative otherwise

Michael is one of the leading voices of the Python community. The content is always intriguing and a great way to stay motivated while learning. Keep up the great work!

I love the long form, story driven podcasts. Micheal does a great job interviewing and always seems to get the best guests. I’m working on listening to every episode.

I've been a fan of this show for quite some time. High-quality content that I look forward to every week.

5/5 podcast that is great to listen to.

I listen to talk python to me whenever I clean my yard because I get to do two things at once and I learn so much in this podcast about the industry itself.

I learned how to code without going the academia route and I’m continuing to polish my coding craft. Hearing the testimonies here from the awesome guests really help me see that I’m not so crazy with this approach as some might think lol. I often hear Michael talking about self taught learners in a positive way.

I like the guests and the insights. I especially like how they name drop favorite packages or sites that they use to help code. Michael does a great job of SHARING the tools of coding techniques. I’ve learned about some conventions worth attending like pycon or djangocon.

There’s a good history lesson here as well. They’re conversations sometimes compare and contrast how things were done in the past vs how things are done today. Like the effects of cloud and how it shook up the Fortune 500.

You get guests from many fields. I’ve heard data scientists, PlayStation workers, PhD grads, self taught programmers, trainers, former paramedics that transitioned into coding. It’s really an awesome group that he puts together. I even heard one guest that was slightly rude but Michael handled it with class and stayed cheerful throughout the entire interview.

All in all this is a great podcast if you want some tips, techniques and inside looks at what is going on the programming with python and programming as a whole right now. Best wishes to all. Enjoy and Thanks for the talks!

This is my favorite Python podcast. Here’s why:

1. Topics are very relevant to what’s trending in Data Science and applied Python in workplace

2. Great guests- I don’t know how you have so many quality guests on so consistently

3. Great host - thoughtful, experienced, engaging

4. Great production value- love the intro musical riff:) sound quality is top notch

5. Much more entertaining than most other Python podcasts - doesn’t break up content into disparate “segments” - feels more like a great conversation between host and guest; also don’t mind the ads bc I like the sound of the host’s voice

one of the few programming podcasts that i enjoy every week. there’s always one package or tip that’s helpful to know about. thank you guys.

Wow. What can I say? Michael Kennedy is the best! His passion for Python is infectious. He pours it into his work and it shows. He takes the time to keep up with what’s going on and to make connections with people doing amazing things. Then he does amazing interviews with those amazing people. I look forward to this podcast more than any other podcast!

The podcast has been a wealth of information and has positively contributed to my efforts to learn Python. Michael interviews a great cross-section of people using Python. The biggest benefit for me has been the exposure to the various libraries and seeing the multitude of areas that I can use Python.

Frankly, the podcast is the best way I’ve found to augment the training videos, documentation, and books I’ve used to learn the language.

I learn a ton of new things from the podcast that I wouldn’t have exposure to otherwise.

Highly informative and by listening this podcast I was able to develop my interest in python. I love this Podcast

Great podcast. I am a newbie and I have listened to and gotten a lot out of many eppisodes. I even subscribed to his Introductory Python Class. Recommend!

Thankfully we live in the age where you have a podcast for everything. I just started learning programming and python is my first language. I LOVE THE INTRO SONG!

Whether your just taking an interest in Python or are an experienced developer, this podcast seems to cater equally well to both types. Consistently engaging and interesting topics and really helps you stay connected to what is going on in the Python world. Thanks Michael!

Great podcast!

One of the best developer related podcasts, assuming you work in python.

I'm an avid listeners of podcasts going way back before this was a big thing. This is one of those special gems worth listening to, learn something new or remind myself of what is possible in python

While I can sense the core audience of this podcast is not Python beginners, I am new to the language and practically every episode has introduced me to another cool library which I end up finding very useful. I can't recommend this enough as a resource for people getting into Python and it's very entertaining too!

I've been programming for three years and working in Python on and off for just over a year now. I was looking for a podcast to help learn more about the language and expose me to new tools and concepts. After listening a few of the first podcasts I'm highly satisfied. Not only is the content great, but the host is pleasant to listen to and keeps a good flow of conversation going. I highly recommend this to anyone in the Python community.

If you're tired of rocking out to edm on your daily commute to work and want to listen to something productive, this is it...

This is the best tech podcast I have ran across, esp if you wanting to learn more about the inner workings and latest news on all things python.

This is the podcast that got me into listening to nearly only technical ones. All the episodes are fun and informative, and I can't recommend it enough for every Pythonista (and others).

Most informative podcast that I listen to. And on top of that, great style and production values.
