Talk Python to Me - How Python Can Change the World: Special Guest Michael Kennedy
Looks like we are on a bit of a roll with interviews over at TARTLE HQ. Recently, Alex and Jason had the chance to sit and talk with Michael Kennedy, founder of the Talk Python to Me podcast. If you are unfamiliar with it, Python is a programming language that is relatively easy to learn well enough for regular people to be able to do some cool things with it. Michael realized this years ago and started looking around for a podcast to tell the stories of people who learn to adapt Python to whatever field they are in to help answer some genuinely interesting questions. Unfortunately, back in 2015 no one was really doing that yet, so he had to start his own. Talk Python to Me is the result. Since then, Michael has been able to interview a wide variety of programmers and gotten some real insight into how to help people get more into the world of programming and data science.
One of the big effects of the rise of the Python programming language is the democratization of both coding and of data science. Be
