What listeners think

Interesting and entertaining
I'm an avid listener of podcasts going way back before this was a big thing. This is one of those special gems worth listening to, learn something new or remind me of what is possible in Python.

Required listening
Very substantive, polished podcast. Michael is the ideal interviewer: deeply knowledgeable and prepared, but knows how to get out of the way and let his guests dominate the conversation. Absolutely required listening for all Pythoneers IMO.
A U12 Coach
Lots of great interviews
It has inspiring content, awesome interviews, and explores the vastness of the Python community.
