BBC R4 - Mike Daisey's '21 Dog Years: Doing Time at Amazon'
Directed by Judith Kamphner
Broadcast June 19, 2004
Coded from tape at 128/44.1
Monologue describing Daisey's three years at Amazon's HQ.
This material has been produced as a book, stage 'bio-logue'
and radio play. It's been called '21 Dog Years' and 'My Life
As A Dot Com Dog'. The BBC called it 'Dot.Com', after they
dropped the title: '21 Dog Years: Doing Time at Amazon' on
'legal advice'.
I took the liberty of re-instating the BBC's original title.
Cast
Mike Daisey

BBC Blurb
An American writer and comic looks back cynically but affectionately at an episode in his life. With a degree in aesthetics from a "micro-ivy" college, Mike Daisey went to Seattle with no plan in mind and found himself in 1998 working at Amazon.com because he suddenly needed dental insurance. He claws his way up from the crazy hours, targets and work sirens of customer service to the more sedate world of Business Development in the hope that some day soon he can cash in his stock options. And then he realizes that, early on in this dehumanised world of e-commerce, he lost himself. Written and performed by Mike Daisey.
