What listeners think

Three of the many reviews listeners have shared.

Like a coffee Talk How for the Python Community

I met one of the hosts at a podcasting conference and gave this show a try. I was impressed by Michael and Brian's deep knowledge, friendly manner, and easy style. The program reminds me of one of those coffee talk shows on a small town AM radio station where you can find out everything that's going on in a community.

Amazing Python podcast :)

I'd highly recommend this podcast to any Python developer serious about their craft. Michael and Brian do an amazing job keeping us updated with the latest Python news. I really enjoy the format of the show and the bite-sized episodes! It's like listening to a Python newsletter with the added benefit of getting Brian's and Michael's insightful commentary. A+++, would subscribe again :-)

Outstanding Podcast!

I'm so glad I discovered this podcast. It's motivated me to once again get back into Python after years of a hiatus (since 2006) and when I learned Python in version 2 almost 20 years ago as a hobby/tinkerer when I needed a break from other programming languages I'm fluent in. The hosts are genuine and truly are passionate "Pythonistas". It's something that I look forward to listening to! I also enjoy Michael Kennedy's "Talk Python To Me" podcats which is full of terrific information for the newb or seasoned programmer. Love how they always end their podcast on an up! Keep those Python jokes coming - it's their signature "ending on a high note!" Kudos!
