Three of the many reviews listeners have shared.

One of my top podcasts I listen to

I learn something new each episode. Talk Python To Me in conjunction with Test and Code and Python Bytes has exponentially increased my productivity and learning. Thank you!

Love the Byte-Sized Pace

I'm always interested in learning about new tools so Python Bytes is right up my alley. The quick rundown of news each week is very cool and I inevitably end up going to the show notes to check out the links.

Great podcast to stay up with Python news!

Michael and Brian do a wonderful job of staying on top of news in the Python world. Everything is packaged up into perfectly-sized snippets. Really helps me feel like I can keep abreast of what's going on. Love it!
