TalkShopLive has officially launched the sale of beer, wine, and spirits directly via live video, becoming the first platform in North America to successfully navigate complex U.S. alcohol regulations in real-time.

Twitch's CEO since 2023, Dan Clancy, has revealed a fascinating daily routine that speaks volumes about his connection to creator culture.
