Description

This Matters will broadcast the Toronto Star’s six-part podcast Hustled each Monday, where the Star’s labour reporter Sara Mojtehedzadeh takes us behind the scenes of a David vs. Goliath battle between a scrappy group of Toronto food couriers and the app company they work for. EPISODE 2: Delivery Hero Sara gets a job as a Foodora courier to find out what life is like when your boss is an app. On the job, she uncovers some unexpected challenges and risks. In this episode, we meet several — much more experienced — couriers who explain the many reasons why they need more protection on the road. Listen here every week or subscribe to Hustled.
