To me, I sound a bit halting, because I was trying to get the words and sentences right in my head before I said them. I hope it sounds OK to others. Also, I think I said “dudes” and “guy” when I could have chosen more neutral words, sorry about that.

Tobias has been doing a great job with this podcast. It’s not easy to consistently put out good content (I hate that word) on a regular schedule. He’s been finding interesting people and giving them a good place to talk about their Python world, whatever that means to them.
