Talk Python To Me

A podcast on Python and related technologies


Latest episode:
#514 Python Language Summit 2025

Every year the core developers of Python convene in person to focus on high priority topics for CPython and beyond. This year they met at PyCon US 2025. Those meetings are closed door to keep focused and productive. But we're lucky that Seth Michael Larson was in attendance and wrote up each topic presented and the reactions and feedback to each. We'll be exploring this year's Language Summit with Seth. It's quite insightful to where Python is going and the pressing matters.

My Favorite Developer Podcast
The best podcast for actual developer insight, and a close run for second best for showing what's going on in the Python community (see podcast.__init__)
Ben Jones
Michael Kennedy has a fantastic personality for tech podcasts, I have always found his explanations light-hearted enough to be entertaining, but with enough detail that it's interesting and worth listening to in order to learn. In my experience, that's a rare combination in tech podcasts.
