About
Why we spill the whys
Every price tag has a business model behind it. Spill the Whys explains that model in plain English, in a few minutes, with the receipts.
What we cover
How the brands you buy every day actually make money: warehouse clubs, fast food, streaming, apps, airlines, theaters and more. Each episode answers one real question, like why a hot dog is still $1.50 or how a free app pays for itself.
How we make episodes
- Numbers come from annual reports, regulatory filings and reputable reporting, listed on every episode page.
- When a figure is an estimate or based on reporting rather than audited filings, we say so.
- We're independent. No company we cover pays us or reviews our episodes.
