How Temu Won the Super Bowl

from TLDR · host Devin Friedman, Kyla Scanlon, Matthew Karasz, Sarah Rieger

This week on TLDR: We discuss the ascendant shopping platform Temu, which, suddenly, seems to be everywhere, partly thanks to a half a dozen or so ads it ran on Sunday. We explain what exactly Temu is, plus Uber’s big rebound, Canada’s not-so-bad-actually unemployment rate, and one very profit-hungry Caterpillar. This episode was hosted by Devin Friedman, business reporter Sarah Rieger, financial educator Kyla Scanlon and former hedgefunder Matthew Karasz.
