Every Friday on eMarketer’s “Behind the Numbers” podcast, we discuss the most intriguing headlines of the past week. Today, we cover the ongoing debate over whether major social and digital media services are platforms or publishers. We also delve into the gig economy, the music streaming space, drone deliveries and a peak that’s higher than Mt. Everest. Host Marcus Johnson leads the conversation with eMarketer guests Nicole Perrin, Aaron Root and Paul Verna.

"Behind the Numbers" is sponsored by Salesforce. Listen in.
