This American Life goes inside an Apple factory

Monologuist Mike Daisey has won wide acclaim for his show "The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs," now playing in New York City. In it, Daisey narrates his complex relationship with Apple products: once a self-described "worshipper in the cult of Mac," he wondered about the origins of those sleek objects of desire. He followed the story to China and was appalled by what found; that trip formed the basis of his monologue. This American Life picked up the story there, and the episode's second act fact-checks his claims, drawing on, among other sources, interviews with Foxconn workers.
