    How Netflix and Spotify Are Building Audio for Gaming
    2026/07/20
    This episode explores why Netflix and Spotify are investing heavily in gaming audio, from original game soundtracks to interactive audio engines. We look at Netflix's $587 million AI film studio acquisition and how its audio tech could extend to gaming, plus Spotify's new gaming accounts feature that lets users stream playlists directly inside games. We also discuss the competitive landscape, including Microsoft's Activision deal and Sony's spatial audio patents.

  • How Netflix Spent 587 Million on an AI Film Studio

    How Netflix Spent 587 Million on an AI Film Studio
    2026/07/20
    Netflix just paid $587 million for Ben Affleck's AI filmmaking startup. Lucas and Luna break down what that deal actually buys — not just the technology, but the strategic positioning against studios like Disney, which is up 1.7% this week while Netflix stock slid 6.6%. They discuss the tension between AI tools and creative labor, using Christopher Nolan's recent 'Trojan horse' warning as a counterpoint. The hosts walk through three specific applications of the acquired tech: automated pre-visualization, generative B-roll, and AI-driven dubbing pipeline improvements. They also touch on what this means for Spotify's parallel investments in AI audio tools. The conversation stays grounded in the numbers and the practical realities of content production, avoiding hype or condemnation. #Netflix #BenAffleck #AIStartup #FilmProduction #AIinHollywood #StreamingWars #Disney #ChristopherNolan #TechAcquisition #ContentCreation #AIDubbing #PreVisualization #GenerativeVideo #Technology #MediaTech #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #StockMarket Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • How Netflix and Spotify Are Allocating Ad Budget to Podcasts

    How Netflix and Spotify Are Allocating Ad Budget to Podcasts
    2026/07/19
    In this episode of The Streaming Tech Podcast, Lucas and Luna examine how Netflix and Spotify are shifting ad spend toward podcast inventory. With Netflix's stock down 6.6% over five days and Snap's ad business struggling, both platforms are testing programmatic audio ads within third-party podcasts. Lucas breaks down the economics: Netflix is buying mid-roll slots on business podcasts to promote its documentary slate, while Spotify is using its own podcast network to run dynamic ads for music and live events. Luna notes that this marks a reversal from the 2023–2024 era when both companies prioritized in-house ad tech. They also touch on the broader ad market, with Meta flat and Pinterest up 2.7%, suggesting niche audio ads may outperform display. The hosts discuss measurement challenges, including whether podcast attribution can match the precision of digital video. The episode includes a brief, organic donation segment for listener support. #Netflix #Spotify #PodcastAdvertising #ProgrammaticAudio #StreamingTech #AdBudget #PodcastMonetization #DigitalAdvertising #NFLX #SPOT #AudioAds #MediaTechnology #Tech #Business #AdSpend #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #StreamingMedia Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

    Netflix and Spotify are both making moves into live sports audio.

Lucas and Luna explore how this technology works, what it means for content creators, and why investors should pay attention.
