Amazon is bad, and it sucks. A podcast about the reach and corruption of one of the USA's most ubiquitous brands: Amazon. First time podcasters Natalie Allsup-Edwards and Chris Perkins, along with guests (expert and otherwise), discuss the latest Amazon news, past scandals, and the various ways that Amazon contributes to the decay of labor, our civil liberties, and our environment.

4. Actually, Amazon is Good ft. Josh DeFreize
Now we are a pro-Amazon podcast, thanks to Patrick Moorhead’s beartrap of logic featured in Forbes: “Amazon Neither Winning Or Profiting From COVID-19”.
