Please upload it to blip.tv instead (or in addition to) YouTube. There's already a Clojure channel there (http://clojure.blip.tv/) and you can download the raw HD video.
The onclojure tutorial shows how (let ..) and (for ..) expressions are all about nested functions and how you can construct them yourself with monads. Be sure to work through it to part 4 which shows an elegant solution using monads for the Monty Hall problem, which is about probabilities and distributions.

Just noticed that the quality of the upload is, um, a bit low res. I'll try to get an HD version uploaded Friday.

Alrighty, added to blip.tv: http://defn.blip.tv/file/3461134/
(it's still being processed at the time of this comment, but you should be able to start playing it at least)
There's a bit more stuff on Vimeo...

pretty sure cloure is just the account for Rich not a channel.
The two monad tutorials referenced in the talk and the clojure.contrib.monads source explain monads in the same way:
