Show overview
LambdaCast launched in 2018 and has put out 3 episodes in the time since. That works out to roughly 3 hours of audio in total. Releases follow an irregular cadence.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 51 min and 1h 6m — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. It is catalogued as a EN-language Technology show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 7 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year.
From the publisher
LambdaCast is a podcast about functional programming for working developers. Our focus is to describe concepts using clear everyday language without watering anything down. If you've ever been curious about FP but were turned off by the jargon or unfamiliar concepts, this is the place to be. Thoughts, comments, critique?

22: Structuring Data
This time we discuss the way data tends to be structured in functional languages and some of the similarities with databases and REST.

21: Type Parameters
You may have seen generics in C#, Java, or Swift but there are a lot of very useful patterns using generics that rarely get used in an OO context. In this episode, we explore Type Parameters (aka generics) from a functional perspective and how using them can improve the structure of your applications.

20: Laziness
Lazy evaluation is not normally something you hear programmers discussing but there is a lot of power available if you know how to use it. This episode we'll examine the differences between lazy and strict evaluation and look at use cases for laziness.
