Dive into the lore of Scheme and Racket with these awesome podcast episodes – where coding stories and functional wisdom come to life. I've hand-picked each one to create the ultimate listening guide for Lisp enthusiasts.
I've deliberately chosen not to include Clojure-specific content, as there's so much of it out there that it would easily take over the page. I also opted not to include talks from the Boston Computation Club, as their speakers often rely on visual presentations, making them better suited for YouTube.

Pocast about dependent type system, not directly lisp related but still somehow adjacent
2
Pocast about teaching programming, less about Racket and more about functional programming in general
