This is one of the most infamous and rare This American Life radio episodes: A story about actor Mike Daisey, who traveled to China to see working conditions at Apple Computer factories there. The episode became the most listened to in This America Life history. However a few months later it was revealed that Daisey's story had been dramatically embellished and that it featured many factual inaccuracies.

This American Life no longer provides the original episode on their official archive. As such it has become a rare find.

Also included in this torrent is the later episode, "Retraction," in which TAL handle the truth about Mike Daisey's story.
