One Year of PyPodcats

It’s been a year since we first launched our first podcast episode on December 12, 2023. Since then, we’ve received lots of positive responses and kind words from Python community members about our podcast series.

Happy International Women's Day

March 8th marks International Women’s Day, a day dedicated to celebrating the achievements of women around the world and advocating for gender equality. In the Python Podcast community, as we have previously reported, women are underrepresented, and yet they continue to make meaningful contributions to the Python community.

PyPodcats Received 2,000 USD from Python Software Foundation

We’re happy to share that we received 2,000 USD in grants from the Python Software Foundation!

Gender Diversity and Representation in Popular Python Community Podcasts

Throughout the years, the Python community as a whole has made significant effort in improving diversity. This can be seen in improvements in speaker diversity at Python conferences, and among PSF Board of Directors.
