Reuven Lerner: Podcasts, podcasts, and even more podcasts

I’ve recently appeared on a whole bunch of podcasts about Python, freelancing, and even (believe it or not) learning Chinese! If you’re interested in any or all of these subjects, then you might want to catch my interviews:

• Talk Python to Me: I spoke with Michael Kennedy (and Casey Kinsen) about freelancing in Python — and things to consider when you’re thinking of freelancing.
• Programming Leadership: I spoke with Marcus Blankenship about why companies offer training to their employees, how they should look for training, and how best to take advantage of a course.
• Profitable Python: I spoke with Ben McNeill about the world of Python training — how training works (for me, companies that invite me to train, and the people in my courses), how to build up an online business, and the difference between B2C vs. B2B. You can watch the video on YouTube, or listen to the audio version of the podcast!
• Teaching Python: I spoke with Kelly Paredes and Sean Tibor about what it’s like to teach adults vs. children, and what tricks I use to help keep my students engaged. I learned quite a bit about how they teach Python to middle-school students!
• You Can Learn Chinese: I’ve been studying Chinese for a few years, and spent some time chatting with Jared Turner about my experience, how I continue to improve, and how my Chinese studies have affected my work teaching Python. The entire episode is great, and my interview starts about halfway through.

In related news, you might know that I’ve been a co-panelist on the Freelancers Show podcast for the last few years. The entire panel (including me) recently left the show, and we’re currently discussing how/when/where we’ll restart.

I’ll be sure to post to my blog here when there are updates — but if you’re a freelancer of any level (new or experienced) who might be interested in sharing your stories with us, please contact me, so we can speak with you when we re-start in our new format.
