Pedram is the Head of Data Engineering and DevRel at Dagster Labs. And we're talking data pipelines this week at Talk Python.

Excellent show, great variety of topics

Fantastic podcast, been listening for about 3 years, learning so much, some of which has been invaluable at work.

Fun and informative

This podcast has been my starting point and is my frequent return point in my Python adventures. It’s informative and fun...what more do you need?

Very informative podcast

This is the first Python podcast I started listening to, and I've managed to catch up most of the 130+ episodes that interested me. I like both the interview format as well as Michale talking with an expert in a certain subject (say machine learning) who speak about the best books or their favourite python libraries.

Michael is a knowledgable, enthusiastic host and he also makes excellent courses that have helped me ramp up my python knowledge - thanks!

Some of my favourite episodes were "Kubernetes for Pythonistas", "API Star", "Home Assistant", "Micropython", "TinyDB", "Renewable Python", and many others.
