Best programming podcast out there
One of the hardest parts of programming is knowing what tools and ideas are out there to help you. This podcast covers everything you need to know in the world of Python. I've become a significantly better programmer because of it. Thanks to these awesome guys!

Great podcast to stay up with Python news!
Michael and Brian do a wonderful job of staying on top of news in the Python world. Everything is packaged up into perfectly-sized snippets. Really helps me feel like I can keep abreast of what's going on. Love it!

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!
