Interviews of people who do cool stuff

If you’re into the Circuit Python language for microcontrollers then these podcasts are a must listen. You’ll learn how ordinary people began their journeys from blinking an led to designing intricate projects in a short amount of time. It’s very inspiring to beginners to learn it’s not all electrical engineers doing this stuff, it’s regular people of all ages and backgrounds. With dedication and determination if they can do it so can you.
Interesting first show
