What the company does
PodcastOne is a podcast network that produces and distributes 200+ shows (Adam Carolla, Jordan Harbinger and others). Its money comes from in-show advertising, brand partnerships and content licensing.
What was checked

No data
Figures from the company's filings (2026-06-30), USD. Market cap is a 36-month average (the S&P Shariah index approach), so a one-day price move does not flip the verdict. Today's market cap: $60.66M.
For information (AAOIFI 3/1 note): cash + receivables are 38.1% of total assets (2026-06-30). AAOIFI recommends tangible assets of at least one third — this figure does not affect the verdict, and other major screeners do not apply it either.

The industry was flagged as sensitive, so the company's filings were checked by hand on 13 August 2026. Conclusion:
Podkast tarmog'i — daromad reklama, distributsiya, brend hamkorliklari va kontent litsenziyasidan (PodcastOneAI). Qimor/alkogol/cho'chqa yo'nalishi yo'q; kontent — so'z/ko'ngilochar, AAOIFI uni taqiqlamaydi (kino bo'yicha shu faylda qabul qilingan mantiq)
