Today we conclude our series on Uber vs. Lift. These rideshare companies revolutionize the way we think about transportation, virtually destroying the taxi industry and redefining the gig economy.

Lift was born out of a need for more environmentally friendly rideshare options and is also seen by many as the friendlier of the two companies.

While Uber's former CEO Travis Kalinick built a reputation for ruthlessness, sexual harassment and bro culture.

This bump anyone? Still, Uber and Lift have seen protests from their drivers who've demanded benefits and better pay for countless hours spent on the road.

Today, consumers are also asking companies to do better. Issues of racial injustice are at the forefront of people's minds.

Even as we tape this episode, citizens are mobilizing to get sweeping changes across the nation and holding corporate America accountable.

So how much has Uber and Lift's company culture affected their businesses up to now? And what will the future hold for these tech giants?

Well, today we're speaking with New York Times Technology reporter Mike Isaac. Isaac is also the author of the book, Super Pumped, the Battle for Uber.

We'll chat about his reporting on Kalinick, Uber and how company culture at both Uber and Lift matters, now more than ever to consumers.

That's all coming up next.

Hello, I'm Hannah and I'm Seru T and we are the hosts of a Redhanded, a weekly True Crime Podcast.

Every week on Redhanded, we get stuck into the most talked about cases.

From Idaho student killings, the Delphi murders and our recent rundown of the Murdoch saga.

Last year, we also started a second weekly show, Shorthand, which is just an excuse for us to talk about anything we find interesting because it's our show and we can do what we like.

We've covered the death of Princess Diana, an unholy Quran written in Saddam Hussein's blood, the gruesome history of European witch hunting, and the very uncomfortable phenomenon of genetic sexual attraction.

Whatever the case, we want to know what pushes people to the extremes of human behavior.

Like, can someone give consent to be cannibalized? What drives a child to kill? And what's the psychology of a terrorist?

Listen to Redhanded wherever you get your podcasts, and access our bonus shorthand episodes exclusively on Amazon Music, or by subscribing to Wondru Plus in Apple Podcasts or the Wondri app.
