I want to thank every Amazon employ and every Amazon
customer because you guys paid for all gus. You guys
paid for all. This is megaical an investigative podcasts exposing

(01:53):
some of the world's most unethical corporations. This series is
about Amazon. I'm Jake Hanrahan, journalists and documentary filmmaker. Mega
Corp is produced by H eleven for Cool Zone Media.

(02:19):
Mega Corps Episode zero. This is a sort of prologue
if you like. Why well, because I wanted to explain
a bit about what Megacorp is and isn't before we
get stuck into it. I feel the need to do
this because of the nature of the work involved in

(02:40):
this series that is reporting on the dishonorable treatment of
workers and consumers by some of the wealthiest corporations on Earth. Now,
due to the last few years of political and cultural turmoil,
it feels like everyone sees everything now only from one

(03:03):
point of view, their own. I find that lack of
nuance very boring. So let me just be clear that
Megacorp is not made to pander to any one specific
political ideology or cultural identity. You do you, I'll do me.

(03:23):
That's fine. Yes, we will be digging into the unethical
acts of multimillion dollar and sometimes billion dollar corporations, but
that doesn't mean we've made this specifically just for anti capitalists.
It doesn't mean it's not for them either. What I'm

(03:44):
trying to say is Megacorp is for everyone. If you
pay tax, if you work, if you consume, if you
spend money anywhere. At the very least, I think you
should be made aware of the scandalous behavior of some
of the most lucrative companies out there. Then you can
do with that information what you want. That's up to you.

(04:07):
I'm not calling for a boycott. I'm not saying you're
a bad person for earning money, and I'm certainly not
trying to destroy anyone's business. What I am doing with
Megacorp is trying to show that there must be some
sort of accountability for corporations that get away with treating
people like dirt just because they have a stranglehold on

(04:31):
any given industry. Now, I guess if Megacorp had to
be for anyone's specific, it would be for the mistreated
workers everywhere. But like I said, this is for anyone
who wants to hear it. Lastly, a bit about me.
My name is Jake Hanrahan. I'm a journalist, producer and

(04:55):
documentary filmmaker from Britain. My word is largely focused on conflict,
crime and politics. The last seven years, I've been reporting
mostly from frontlines in Syria, Iraq, Ukraine, Kurdistan, palest Iron
all over the place. You might have seen my work.

(05:17):
I also run a grassroots conflict journalism outlet called Popular Front.
You can look that up. I think you like it.
