Talk Python to Me is a weekly podcast hosted by developer and entrepreneur Michael Kennedy. We dive deep into the popular packages and software developers, data scientists, and incredible hobbyists doing amazing things with Python. If you're new to Python, you'll quickly learn the ins and outs of the community by hearing from the leaders. And if you've been Pythoning for years, you'll learn about your favorite packages and the hot new ones coming out of open source.

In this episode, we welcome back Will McGugan, the creator of the wildly popular Rich library and founder of Textualize. We'll dive into Will's latest article on "Algorithms for High Performance Terminal Apps" and explore how he's quietly revolutionizing what's possible in the terminal, from smooth animations and dynamic widgets to full-on TUI (or should we say GUI?) frameworks. Whether you're looking to supercharge your command-line tools or just curious how Python can push the limits of text-based UIs, you'll love hearing how Will's taking a modern, web-inspired approach to old-school terminals.
