Some of the topics covered
- How did Robert become the maintainer of unittest?

I've been re-studying unittest recently and I mostly wanted to ask Robert a bunch of clarifying questions.
This is an intermediate to advanced discussion of unittest.
Many great features of unittest go by quickly in this talk.
Please let me know if there's something you'd like me to cover in more depth as a blog post or a future episode.
