The Eric Normand Podcast, previously titled Thoughts on Functional Programming. Despite the name, he also dives into e.g., some original OOP papers too, as well as general programming paradigm commentary.

A couple episodes you may be interested in:
"In this episode, I excerpt from and comment on Allen Newell's and Herbert Simon's 1975 ACM Turing Award Lecture."

"In this first episode of season 3, we analyze a great paper called Lisp: A language for stratified design. The paper asks the question "What is Lisp good for?"

"We read one of the great articles by Alan Kay, inventor of Smalltalk, called The Early History of Smalltalk."

Awesome, thanks!
It's fun to hear people talking about what they're interested in, or I get to hear people's personal experiences on a subject I care about (entrepreneurship, neurodivergence, software development). I'm here less for structured content than to expand my perspective on general experience and challenges of being in a given situation.
For what it's worth, there are also lots of other formats besides "two dudes/dudettes talking": scripted drama, documentary, unscripted/situational comedy. I even listen to a guy critique classic computer science research papers.
