Michael Kennedy has a fantastic personality for tech podcasts, I have always found his explanations light-hearted enough to be entertaining, but with enough detail that it's interesting and worth listening to in order to learn. In my experience, that's a rare combination in tech podcasts.

Exceptional for those new to Python
The podcast has been a wealth of information and has positively contributed to my efforts to learn Python. Michael interviews a great cross-section of people using Python. The biggest benefit for me has been the exposure to the various libraries and seeing the multitude of areas that I can use Python. Frankly, the podcast this the best way I've found to augment the training videos, documentation, and books I've used to learn the language.
