S1 Ep4: What is Apple hiding?

Hello, we are scared of Big Tech and iPhones are cursed!


This ep the girls are getting into the dark side of Apple: how was it able grow so exponentially in the noughties?


We spin out into history of Chinese labour policy and emerging fin-tech in Africa, and the incredibly hard to pronounce ‘algorithmic colonialism’. The girls struggle to get their head around these massive supply chains that produce the little computers we’re all so addicted to. Tech girlies we need your advice, how do we bring down silicone valley? Or at least make them less evil??
