Iheartmedia Presents Megacorp [official Podcast Artwork]

“Megacorp”, the new podcast from Cool Zone Media, pulls back the curtain on Amazon.

From iHeart Podcast Network’s Cool Zone Media comes a new original podcast called “Megacorp”, an investigative podcast series exposing some of the world’s most unethical corporations.

The podcast premiered today (12.1.2021), with new episodes releasing weekly on Wednesdays.

Episode 1:Ground Floor At The Amazon Warehouse

In this first episode, we’ll be starting at the ground floor, with the most important employees holding everything together—the warehouse workers. We’ll hear what it’s like to work long shifts whilst being constantly monitored and timed in the toilet.

Cool Zone Media will release several seasons of “Megacorp” throughout the year, and each season will focus on a different corporation — in the first season, the show’s host investigates Amazon. Some not so shocking statistics revealed throughout the first episode include that on average Amazon employees work 10-12 hour shifts and pick up workers are expected to process 300 items per hour. Staff are constantly filmed in the warehouses, their toilet breaks are timed, and they receive only two 15 minute breaks for their entire shift. It’s been uncovered that injury percentages at some warehouses are worse than at steel refineries and saw mills. All of this and more is revealed in just the first 3 minutes of episode 1.

Megacorp is hosted by Jake Hanrahan, an independent journalist and documentary filmmaker based in the UK. He primarily covers conflict, crime, and politics all over the world, reporting from Syria, Iraq, Ukraine, Palestine, and more.
