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!
