Episode 1: Hooked - a podcast by Bama Athreya

I wanted to understand why people would drive for Uber.  In this episode you'll meet some of the drivers I met and interviewed:  Tess from South Africa, Rebecca from California and Yaseen from London, UK.  They were lured onto the platform by the promise of partnership but they found it was a bait and switch game.  As more drivers crowded onto the platform, and fares went down, they learned something else too:  that the company wasn't just making money off the rides.  It was harvesting their data.
