podcast technical

"his popular podcast, with new weekly episodes including interviews with stars"

A podcast is a series of spoken-word audio episodes that can be streamed or downloaded online, similar to listening to a radio show on demand. For investors, podcasts offer convenient access to expert insights, market analysis, and financial news, helping them stay informed and make better decisions in an increasingly busy world.

ad-supported streaming television technical

"available as a premium free, ad-supported streaming television (FAST) channel exclusively via LG Channels"

Ad-supported streaming television is a way of delivering TV shows and movies over the internet where viewers watch for free or lower cost in exchange for seeing advertisements, like watching a broadcast channel but on a phone, TV app, or web browser. For investors it matters because ad-supported models can grow audience quickly and generate recurring advertising revenue, but they depend on ad rates, viewer engagement, and the cost of content, which affect profitability and valuation.
