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.

Love the Byte-Sized Pace
I'm always interested in learning about new tools so Python Bytes is right up my alley. The quick rundown of news each week is very cool and I inevitably end up going to the show notes to check out the links.
