How Graphs Work in Python: From Facebook Friends to Neural Nets

In this episode of PyPod Chronicles, I talk about how you can use graphs in Python to make sense of real-world things like social networks, maps, and even AI.

I break down what graphs are, how nodes and edges work, and show you how to build them with real Python code. Whether you're curious about how your friends connect on social apps, how GPS maps routes, or how AI systems link things together, this episode makes it all easier to understand.
