Talk Python to Me is a weekly podcast hosted by developer and entrepreneur Michael Kennedy. We dive
 deep into the popular packages and software developers, data scientists, and incredible hobbyists doing
 amazing things with Python. If you're new to Python, you'll quickly learn the ins and outs of the community
 by hearing from the leaders. And if you've been Pythoning for years, you'll learn about your favorite
 packages and the hot new ones coming out of open source.

Talk Python To Me

Python’s data stack is getting a serious GPU turbo boost. In this episode, Ben Zaitlen from NVIDIA joins us to unpack RAPIDS, the open source toolkit that lets pandas, scikit-learn, Spark, Polars, and even NetworkX execute on GPUs. We trace the project’s origin and why NVIDIA built it in the open, then dig into the pieces that matter in practice: cuDF for DataFrames, cuML for ML, cuGraph for graphs, cuXfilter for dashboards, and friends like cuSpatial and cuSignal. We talk real speedups, how the pandas accelerator works without a rewrite, and what becomes possible when jobs that used to take hours finish in minutes. You’ll hear strategies for datasets bigger than GPU memory, scaling out with Dask or Ray, Spark acceleration, and the growing role of vector search with cuVS for AI workloads. If you know the CPU tools, this is your on-ramp to the same APIs at GPU speed.

#516: Accelerating Python Data Science at NVIDIA

What if your code was crash-proof? That's the value prop for a framework called Temporal. Temporal is a durable execution platform that enables developers to build scalable applications without sacrificing productivity or reliability. The Temporal server executes units of application logic called Workflows in a resilient manner that automatically handles intermittent failures, and retries failed operations. We have Mason Egger from Temporal on to dive into durable execution.

#515: Durable Python Execution with Temporal

Every year the core developers of Python convene in person to focus on high priority topics for CPython and beyond. This year they met at PyCon US 2025. Those meetings are closed door to keep focused and productive. But we're lucky that Seth Michael Larson was in attendance and wrote up each topic presented and the reactions and feedback to each. We'll be exploring this year's Language Summit with Seth. It's quite insightful to where Python is going and the pressing matters.

#514: Python Language Summit 2025

Why do people listen to this podcast? Sure, they're looking for technical explorations of new libraries and ideas. But often it's to hear the story behind them. If that speaks to you, then I have the perfect episode lined up. I have Barry Warsaw, Paul Everitt, Carol Willing, and Brett Cannon all back on the show to share stories from the history of Python. You'll hear about how import this came to be and how the first PyCon had around 30 attendees (two of whom are guests on this episode!). Sit back and enjoy the humorous stories from Python's past.

#513: Stories from Python History

Do you like to dive into the details and intricacies of how Python executes and how we can optimize it? Well, do I have an episode for you. We welcome back Brandt Bucher to give us an update on the upcoming JIT compiler for Python and why it differs from JITs for languages such as C# and Java.

#511: From Notebooks to Production Data Science Systems

Are you using Polars for your data science work? Maybe you've been sticking with the tried-and-true Pandas? There are many benefits to Polars directly of course. But you might not be aware of all the excellent tools and libraries that make Polars even better. Examples include Patito which combines Pydantic and Polars for data validation and polars_encryption which adds AES encryption to selected columns. We have Christopher Trudeau back on Talk Python To Me to tell us about his list of excellent libraries to power up your Polars game and we also talk a bit about his new Polars course.

#510: 10 Polars Tools and Techniques To Level Up Your Data Science

If you're looking to leverage the insane power of modern GPUs for data science and ML, you might think you'll need to use some low-level programming language such as C++. But the folks over at NVIDIA have been hard at work building Python SDKs which provide nearly native level of performance when doing Pythonic GPU programming. Bryce Adelstein Lelbach is here to tell us about programming your GPU in pure Python.

#509: GPU Programming in Pure Python

If you've heard the phrase "Automate the boring things" for Python, this episode starts with that idea and takes it to another level. We have Glyph back on the podcast to talk about "Programming YOUR computer with Python." We dive into a bunch of tools and frameworks and especially spend some time on integrating with existing platform APIs (e.g. macOS's BrowserKit and Window's COM APIs) to build desktop apps in Python that make you happier and more productive. Let's dive in!

#508: Program Your Own Computer with Python

If you want to leverage the power of LLMs in your Python apps, you would be wise to consider an agentic framework. Agentic empowers the LLMs to use tools and take further action based on what it has learned at that point. And frameworks provide all the necessary building blocks to weave these into your apps with features like long-term memory and durable resumability. I'm excited to have Sydney Runkle back on the podcast to dive into building Python apps with LangChain and LangGraph.
