Radio Free Python is a monthly podcast focused on the Python programming language and its community. The show was created by—and is hosted by—noted futurist Larry Hastings.

• Each episode will start with the news. However, since there isn't that much breaking news from month to month, this will often veer into a sort of magazine-format news, introducing a specific topic and going over its history as well as current events.
• After the news, each episode will feature an interview with some notable Python luminary.
• Following the interview will be either a Link or Project Highlight, an Editorial, or both, depending on time and inspiration.

Radio Free Python:

• is emphatically pro-Python, and has no strong opinions on anything else. (In particular, Radio Free Python takes no political positions.)
• maintains a positive and upbeat feel, a sort of "It's all good" vibe. Apart from possibly the editorials, Radio Free Python is definitely not
  • confrontational,
  • controversial,
  • contentious, or
  • dramatic.
• strives for superior listenability. Though we strive for high audio fidelity, we don't stop there. Radio Free Python will also edit the audio stream to remove
  • breath sounds,
  • "ums" and "errs",
  • pauses,
  • and the discussion itself to enhance its content and clarity.
  There's only one hard and fast rule: everyone involved has to be happy with the final result.
• uses Monty Python-related memes... enough with the snake imagery.

• The song used on Radio Free Python is "No Worries" by "Jive Ass Sleepers", off the album "Scratch", available from Magnatune.
• The Radio Free Python web site is rendered using Jinja2 and a custom static website rendering engine.
• The Radio Free Python headline font is a combination of Futura from Microsoft and Futuri from SWFTE Typecase. The RFP logo was designed by Larry Hastings.
