“There’s gotta be something, like can we turn the ad frequency down by 1%?? Release this on cd? Send you money in an envelope and get a flash drive back??”

“Very informative, and consequently creepy. The stories of employee mistreatment seem shocking but believable. I understand that much of the source material is interviews with anonymous employees, but my one complaint is I would like to see a source list so I can talk more convincingly to people...”Read full review »

“Welcome to the American employment system. Points for calling off sick but the told “don’t come in sick because you don’t want to spread anything.” It’s the same when you work in the healthcare system in the U. S.. imagine, being a healthcare worker but being penalized if you call off sick?!”

“Excellent investigating, interviewing, and reporting. Everyone should give this a listen.
I will gladly listen to ads so Jake Hanrahan can continue doing this work. Uncovering and compiling this stuff is not easy and requires hundreds of hours of work.”

“I’ve spent nearly 17 min of my life listening to the intro episode and episode 1 and 13 of that time has been hearing the same sensationalized ads. Garbage.”

“Ok it’s really weird to me to put out a podcast talking about how awful corporations are (and they are!) while also participating extensively in capitalism. 7mins in, I’ve heard 2 mins of content and 5 of advertisements. At 23 mins in we have now taken 3 breaks for many many advertisements and...”Read full review »

“The subject areas covered and people interviewed are really interesting. However, there are two very annoying things about this podcast; the excessive number of ads, and the presenter’s voice! It’s not an actual regional accent from the UK, he’s putting on some sort of wannabe roadman accent.”

“Yellow journalism at it’s finest. The trouble with having “journalists” out there in public that have no academic background in journalism is that they don’t understand how to be objective. This is one of many podcasts out there who claim to be taking a journalistic approach to a subject but are...”Read full review »

“Great content, but do you really have to have so many ads? The message tends to get lost when surrounded by all the interruptions - loses the flow of the show. Probably the last episode I’ll bother listening to because of this.”

“I love the podcast however, having to listen to 3 minute ad breaks several times in a podcast that is 30 minutes long is insane. There’s got to be a way you can reduce the number of ads per episode. Nearly 1/3 of the episode is ads.”

“This podcast is littered with ads and only talks about Amazon. There are many flaws in the reporting especially episode 6. The author makes a single connection and draws past security failures that were ALL caused by the customers failing to secure their data.

“In episode 5 “Is Amazon Spying on You?”, Jake talks about Ring devices and that the company will just give police departments access to content behind the owners’ backs.
There is a lot of questionable behavior about what they used to do, so it’s possible that this used to be true, but it...”Read full review »

First, the section about security breaches. All clouds, not just AWS, have a shared responsibility model for...”Read full review »
