Awesome Python tidbits
This podcast rarely has an episode where I don't hear about an interesting library, tool or article that either I or my teammates will find useful. For me PythonBytes is the perfect news aggregator for everything Python related. It also has a jokes section at the end - what more do you want?

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 :-)
