The episode and transcript of the This American Life episode retracting Mike Daisey's piece about Apple and Foxconn are now live. If this is an issue you care about, you should listen to the whole thing.As host Ira Glass announced yesterday, the show found "significant fabrications" in the story, to the point where "we cant vouch for its truth." For example, Daisey admits that he never met a worker who had been poisoned by n-hexane, as he claimed in the episode (which was a version of his one-man show "The Agony and Ecstasy of Steve Jobs.") Many other aspects of Daisey's account, like his meeting with allegedly underage Foxconn workers, were also disputed by his translator, although Daisey still says that they happened. In a blog post, Daisey says he stands by his work, but he regrets allowing TAL to excerpt the show because it's "not journalism."
