Who Made Your iPhone?
The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs is a one man show at the Public Theater in New York City featuring Mike Daisey who details the history of Apple and exposes what it takes to create a new piece of technology. For reviews on this show, check out the New York Times or Wall Street Journal. NPR digs deeper into the story of Chinese factory conditions that are responsible for creating our technology and Ira Glass features this story on This American Life. To find out more about how your iPhone may have been created, see the show or listen to the podcast.

In a virtually unprecedented move, This American Life has just retracted this story. TAL now feels unable to stand by the truth of Mike Daisey’s expose and asserts that this episode “contained significant fabrications.” Find out more in a recent Slate article (http://www.slate.com/blogs/browbeat/2012/03/16/_this_american_life_retracts_mike_daisey_s_apple_expos_.html) and visit TAL’s blog to read their own take about the retraction (http://www.thisamericanlife.org/blog/2012/02/mike-daisey-performing-the-agony-and-the-ecstasy-of-steve-jobs-live-in-chicago).
