The latest Python 411 (mp3) is all about “various options for running Python on cell phones.”

Ron Stephens interviewed Michael “Fuzzyman” Foord for his Python 411 podcast (mp3). Michael says he enjoyed the interview, so it sounds like it went well.

Jeff Welsh and Sal Miccicke have a new podcast called Administratively Down. I’ll have to check that one out.

Davy Mitchell is asking for feedback on a comp.lang.python podcast demo that he recently created. When I first read his post, I was pretty excited about another Python podcast being added to the mix (Python411 being the other one). But after a quick listen, I discovered it was put together with text-to-speech… ugh!

Perhaps others will disagree, but I think it is absolutely unlistenable. I think I’d rather listen to somone stuttering through lines and popping their P’s on a cheap mic than have to endure a fake female voice saying “aich tee tee pee colon slash slash double you double you double you dot….”

Great idea and interesting hack, but I’d have to give this one a thumbs down.

Update: Davy bought a USB mic and might try doing a real Python podcast. I’d imagine there are quite a few Pythonistas who’d love to listen in.
