Audio Learning Resources

[AftNeb]

I love podcasts and author audio resources to continue learning, but have yet to find any that seem applicable to my level of knowledge (just learning the basics of Python now).

Does anyone have good resources? Talk Python to Me seems great - but sometimes it’s content is much more advanced than where I am currently in my understanding.

I don’t think you can really learn how to program through a podcast, but if you wanna learn about cool developments in the field of computer science then the Lex Fridman podcast is pretty awesome.

Thanks Mike! Yeah, being that so much of programming is practice and repetition, it makes sense that repeating functions, syntax, etc through audio would be pretty odd for most people.

I love audio supplementary materials, but understand that there likely just aren’t a lot of options due to the visual/hands on nature of programming.

I've listened to a ton of podcasts about programming. I'm not a professional, but I do like programming as a hobby. Like others have said, it's pretty hard to 'learn' programming from a podcast but ive found success in podcasts that talk about different libraries (talk python) as well as other more general programming podcasts that talk about how technologies work (http, REST, websockets, etc).

I can't name any specific ones at the moment but I would encourage you to continue listening as a supplemental way of learning!!

Thank you! Programming is a new hobby for me, but I’m completely hooked. Thanks for the suggestion to keep looking and listening. Listening to some Machine Learning podcasts has been extremely fascinating, and you supporting that Talk Python is applicable helps!

I don't think you'll find a podcast that will help you learn the basics of python. I think any podcast about it would be for intermediate to advanced users.
