guys paid for all. This

1:49

is megaical an investigative podcasts

1:52

exposing some of the world's most unethical

1:55

corporations. This series

1:57

is about Amazon. I'm

2:00

Jake Hanrahan, journalists and

2:02

documentary filmmaker. Mega

2:06

Corp is produced by H eleven

2:08

for Cool Zone Media.

2:19

Mega Corps Episode zero.

2:22

This is a sort of prologue if

2:24

you like. Why well,

2:26

because I wanted to explain

2:28

a bit about what Megacorp is

2:31

and isn't before we get stuck

2:33

into it. I

2:35

feel the need to do this because of the

2:38

nature of the work involved in this series

2:41

that is reporting on the dishonorable

2:44

treatment of workers and

2:46

consumers by some of the

2:48

wealthiest corporations on Earth.

2:52

Now, due to the last few years

2:54

of political and cultural

2:57

turmoil, it feels like everyone

3:00

sees everything now only

3:02

from one point of view, their

3:04

own. I find that

3:07

lack of nuance very boring.

3:09

So let me just be clear that Megacorp

3:12

is not made to pander to any

3:15

one specific political

3:17

ideology or cultural identity.

3:21

You do you, I'll do me. That's

3:23

fine. Yes, we will

3:25

be digging into the unethical

3:28

acts of multimillion

3:30

dollar and sometimes billion

3:32

dollar corporations, but that

3:35

doesn't mean we've made this specifically

3:38

just for anti capitalists.

3:40

It doesn't mean it's not for them either.

3:43

What I'm trying to say is Megacorp

3:46

is for everyone. If you pay

3:48

tax, if you work, if you consume,

3:51

if you spend money anywhere. At

3:53

the very least, I think you should be

3:55

made aware of the scandalous

3:58

behavior of some of the most lucrative

4:01

companies out there. Then

4:03

you can do with that information what

4:05

you want. That's up to you. I'm not

4:07

calling for a boycott. I'm

4:09

not saying you're a bad person for earning money,

4:12

and I'm certainly not trying to destroy

4:15

anyone's business. What

4:17

I am doing with Megacorp is trying

4:20

to show that there must be some

4:22

sort of accountability for corporations

4:25

that get away with treating people like dirt

4:28

just because they have a stranglehold

4:31

on any given industry.

4:34

Now, I guess if Megacorp

4:36

had to be for anyone's specific,

4:39

it would be for the mistreated workers

4:41

everywhere. But like I said,

4:44

this is for anyone who wants to hear

4:46

it. Lastly,

4:48

a bit about me. My name

4:51

is Jake Hanrahan. I'm

4:53

a journalist, producer and documentary

4:56

filmmaker from Britain. My

4:59

word is largely focused

5:01

on conflict, crime and

5:04

politics. The last seven

5:06

years, I've been reporting mostly

5:09

from frontlines in Syria,

5:12

Iraq, Ukraine, Kurdistan,

5:14

palest Iron all over the place. You might have

5:16

seen my work. I also run

5:19

a grassroots conflict

5:21

journalism outlet called Popular

5:24

Front. You can look that up. I think you like it.

5:27

him as a serial killer sur but

6:13
