What listeners think

Three of the many reviews listeners have shared.

Best programming podcast out there

One of the hardest parts of programming is knowing what tools and ideas are out there to help you. This podcast covers everything you need to know in the world of Python. I've become a significantly better programmer because of it. Thanks to these awesome guys!

Awesome Python tidbits

This podcast rarely has an episode where I don't hear about an interesting library, tool or article that either I or my teammates will find useful. For me PythonBytes is the perfect news aggregator for everything Python related. It also has a jokes section at the end - what more do you want?

Like a coffee Talk How for the Python Community

I met one of the hosts at a podcasting conference and gave this show a try. I was impressed by Michael and Brian's deep knowledge, friendly manner, and easy style. The program reminds me of one of those coffee talk shows on a small town AM radio station where you can find out everything that's going on in a community.
