Jason Howell and Sam Machkovech from Ars Technica pick apart the major streaming platforms, the hardware and software solutions for creating engaging live streams, and the ways that those streams can be monetized.

Pretty good scope and great effort

I like the variety of topics and especially appreciate here's someone doing useful things outside all the normal talk about tech applications. He/they do things I'd like to do, but don't know about and don't have the parts to play with -- a vicarious experience without the cost. Much appreciated. Many thanks.

Native ads

This show is hosted by a heavyset weird guy who gets free products from companies and then talks about them on a podcast. He mostly gets toy drones and drone parts.

In between talking about the free products he gets to play with, he does actual paid ads for companies.
