Episode recommendations for the Functional Geekery podcast

Lately, I’ve been listening to a podcast about functional programming called Functional Geekery. I ended up eventually listening to the entire backlog of episodes, but if you just want to see what the podcast is about, below you’ll find a list of good episodes. The first few minutes usually lists a bunch of functional programming conferences, just skip past those if you’re listening to old episodes.

• Bartosz Milewski. Category theory.

• Brian Lonsdorf. Category theory, Frisby videos, JavaScript, PureScript.

• Hardy Jones, Haskell, Elm, PureScript.

• Mark Seemann, F#, Haskell, testing.

• Susan Potter, Haskell.

• Jose Valim, creator of Elixir.

• Matthew Butterick, racket, typography.
