Summary

Hello all you Private Parters, welcome back to the podcast where nothing is off limits!


It’s Friday which means we are back with another great guest! This week, Jamie is joined by filmmaker, presenter and author Oobah Butler. You might recognise Oobah from VICE documentaries such as How to Become TripAdvisor’s #1 Fake Restaurant and How To Crash Paris Fashion Week. 


Oobah is back with a new documentary on Channel 4 called The Great Amazon Heist, which sees him go undercover at Amazon to uncover first hand the conditions faced by workers. He reveals all to Jamie about the film and his findings, including how he manages to ‘sell’ Amazon drivers urine as a number 1 product on the site itself. 


As well as this, he chats to Jamie about his VICE documentary where he created a fake restaurant and got it to number 1 on TripAdvisor, with people calling up to try and book tables… that didn’t even exist! This is an episode you really don’t want to miss.
