#307: Python from 1994 to 2021, my how you've grown!
Python has changed a lot since its inception 30 years ago. On this episode, you'll meet Paul Everitt and Barry Warsaw. They have both been involved with Python since the very first Python conference (called SPAM1 even). We discuss how it's changed but also how so many of the pressures and ideas from the very early days are still playing out in 2021. I'm sure you'll enjoy all the stories and reminiscing.

#306: Scaling Python and Jupyter with ZeroMQ
When we talk about scaling software threading and async get all the buzz. And while they are powerful, using asynchronous queues can often be much more effective. You might think this means creating a Celery server, maybe running RabbitMQ or Redis as well. What if you wanted this async ability and many more message exchange patterns like pub/sub. But you wanted to do zero of that server work? Then you should check out ZeroMQ.

#300: Building a data science startup (panel)
You've heard that software developers and startups go hand-in-hand. But what about data scientists? Of course they! But how do you turn your data science skill set into a data science _business_ skill set? What are some of the areas ripe for launching such a business into?
