What it is about

Talk Python to Me is a weekly podcast for Python developers, data scientists, and AI builders, hosted by developer and entrepreneur Michael Kennedy. We dive deep into the packages, tools, and people shaping Python, from web development and data science to AI and LLMs. If you're new to Python, you'll quickly learn the ins and outs of the community by hearing from its leaders. And if you've been Pythoning for years, you'll hear about your favorite packages and the hot new ones coming out of open source.
