Subject: Stack Overflow / Stack Exchange moderation strike

Sorry for writing to your press address. I could find no more suitable address under "contact us" on your web site www.prosus.com.

I'm writing as a concerned user of Stack Overflow and the network of sites they operate as Stack Exchange, Inc.

Python podcasts

Here are the Python podcasts I am aware of.

The exposition is oriented more towards developer gossip because that was the context in which I was asked.

I link to Castro because that's convenient for me; I hope the links are not too unwieldy for others. (If you are looking for a podcast player, I don't hesitate to recommend Castro, though!)

Here's a brief demo of metasmoke and how slow it is for me right now.

I click in the boxes repeatedly while waiting until it finally becomes responsive.

I had to click twice to get to the search page, I have observed that repeatedly in the past so I don't think it was my own clumsiness with the mouse.
