What listeners think

Informative, addictive, and powerful!
I have been following this podcast since awhile now and I have to say that Michael does a great job picking topics which listeners relate to and all the information is very much helpful for a person who is getting their feet wet in Python or an experienced developer. Each and every episode, I learn at least one thing that motivates me to change my day to day life. I am looking for more Python stuff and I would love Michael to continue with the same speed as he is going. Highly recommended for all Pythonistas.

Great Python Podcast
Talk Python To Me is in the rotation of podcasts that I listen to on a regular basis. The guests are always interesting. The topics are quite often relevant to things I'm working on or thinking about. Michael, the host, also keeps things moving at a good pace and keeps the conversation lively. I also enjoy his "regular questions" at the end of the show. Always good to hear how other folks answer those questions!
