Excellent podcast by two very knowledgeable gentlemen. They cover a lot of interesting topics in a short amount of time. Highly recommended.
My only critique would be a request that Brian speak a bit louder. I often find myself rewinding because I couldn’t make out what he said the first time.
Michael and Brian consistently do a great job to talk about what’s new in Python for half an our every week. I listen to almost every episode because they always seem to dig up things I’ve not heard of before. If you’re serious about Python this is the podcast you need to fit into your life.
This is a top notch podcast, I catch myself looking forward to when the new episode comes out each week. Michael and Brian are the best with great content!
I've listened for years and am grateful for its content. If you listen, you'll learn much about Python, its ecosystem. and its contributors.
