This is a story that I heard on public radio that  I really felt I had to share.  I encourage everyone and anyone to pass this along. The title is Mr. Daisey and the Apple Factory. It's guy telling a story about how he went to China where all of our "made in China" stuff comes from. The description from the website:

" Mike Daisey performs an excerpt that was adapted for radio from his one-man show "The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs." A lifelong Apple superfan, Daisey sees some photos online from the inside of a factory that makes iPhones, starts to wonder about the people working there, and flies to China to meet them. His show restarts a run at New York's Public Theater later this month. (39 minutes)"

NPR's This American life and Radiolab are AWESOME! I have listened to every episode. Its sad how people just brush off NPR when most of their programs are great and 10x better than hearing the same song for the 5th time by noon.

Absolutely right, I have been getting the ole lady to listen to it. As soon as she says she heard something is interesting and I walk away the pop top 10 channel always finds it's way back on the radio.
