Tracking and attribution: Megaphone, Chartable and Podsights or their partners may connect the fact you listened to this podcast to an action elsewhere on the internet. For example - they may spot a device that downloaded an episode of NerdWallet's Smart Money Podcast later visited the website of an advertiser; or they may track that a device that listened to NerdWallet's Smart Money Podcast also listened to a different show. This form of attribution is used to measure advertising effectiveness.

Dynamic content insertion: Megaphone may use limited data that they know about you - the device you’re using, the approximate location you’re in, or other data that can be derived from this, like the current weather forecast for your area - to change parts of the audio. NerdWallet's Smart Money Podcast may do this for advertising or for other forms of content, like news stories.
