| Text | The word "demand," in this podcast, means something that one insists on having, or something that one says one must have or do in order for something else to happen: "Management will never agree to the workers' demands for cheaper health insurance." In economics, the word "demand" refers to how much of a good or service people want to have at a particular price: "For most products and services, demand increases as the price decreases." The phrase "on demand" means whenever someone wants something, without having a set schedule: "Lynn often pays a few extra dollars to watch her favorite movies on demand, instead of waiting for them to appear on the TV schedule." Finally, the phrase "due to popular demand" means happening because many people have asked for something: "The chef is putting apple pie back on the menu due to popular demand." |
