Hey Talk Python podcast fans! I'm looking to book a bunch of topics / guests / episode for 2026. Do you have recommendations on what you'd like to hear about?
Haven't heard of Talk Python To Me is? It's a Python podcast at https://talkpython.fm

Can you interview some of the other creators in the space? I'd definitely like to hear a conversation with Anthony Sotille

I like this idea but I’ll tell you I’m 100% skipping an interview with Anthony. Dude is fairly notoriously impolite and intransigent as far as major OSS maintainers go.

Interviewing Arjan Codes might be fun 😊

What I need to know about the GIL and its removal as a user of Python. Does this affect what I need to think about or how I need to code if I’m writing concurrent programs?
Also Python async and concurrency in general.

Beyond this, how dos GIL removal impact some of our favorite libraries and how might they be changing (even just under the hood) to take advantage of this and what might that look like as a benefit to end users

Yes, this. I've heard a lot about the work that's gone into removing the GIL and implementing free threading in Python itself. But now that it's getting out there, how are people taking advantage of these developments in their real-world codebases?

Generics and Protocols.

I’m always curious to hear from people who have sane expectations of LLMs and how they are using them in their workflows.
Not marketing speak, senior engineers who have added LLMs to their flow to make them better engineers.

Love both shows, TPTM and Python Bytes. Keep up the great work!

Hey Mike, big fan. I’m personally very into parallel/distributed computing particular in the context of computational dags. The dask episodes with Matt Rocklin are always great, but I’d like to hear more about Ray on your podcast. There’s also a library I’ve followed for a long time called Hamilton (picked up by Apache recently) that’s made for building computational pipelines/dags that would be interesting to discuss. I’m personally working on a OS project in this space right now that I dream one day will be discussed on your podcast!
