In this episode of the podcast, we hear the story of Lisa, a worker on Appen, based in the UK. We hear her story of struggling to make a living or Appen, or maybe more accurately, struggling to not make a living, in this epic tale of love, loss and unpaid wages.


Here's some of the resources that I used to write the introduction in case you would like to do some further reading:

I originally read about the project and it's link with microwork in Phil Jones' book 'Work Without the Worker' which I'd highly recommend:
