Best podcast for all things Python

I’ve been following this podcast for quite a while now and in every episode I learn something new.

I learned something listen one

A lot went over my head but so much logic and previous personal experiences made sense to me about tuples from one part of the first time I listened.

I will be talking this podcast on my walks with me, super great to just hear something talking about python

Easy to listen to

I started a training course on Python and was searching for a podcast that I could dive into and gain “live” insights into python. This show does not disappoint. It’s very easy to approach, even with my basic understanding of the language, but when they go deep into the current state of the technology it makes you want to go and research what they’re talking about. Great job everyone, I look forward to each episode.
