The intro is always so devastating that I forget there's a whole story that follows. I wear my Chiquita swindled shirt with pride.

This could cause me to lose hope for humanity. Please keep us updated.

This was INFURIATING to listen to. But I didn’t know, and people need to know. Thank you ACC!

I do not know how this “concerned citizen” handles this exceptional podcast, along with replying back to fans on here, and managing the up-sells on his own. Impressive to say the least. Also impressed by the topics he chooses and the research- many episodes regarding stories I have never even heard about before which is refreshing. Okay sorry I didn’t know where else to express my love for this podcast. Concerned citizen, please start a channel!💕

Can you do a podcast on how ellen and oprah are swindling kids

AC Kasriel

Love the episode! Can’t wait for the next one!

I was procrastinating to hearing this one because i love bananas. But damn. This jst made me look at bananas disgustingly.

Christiano Maldini

Bonus episodes idea....shorter features on some of the individual characters that appear in the episodes..the CEO who jumped out of the Pan Am building for starters.

Trying to raise the issue as an international affairs major at a supposedly ‘liberal’ US college, I was called an anti-American pinko Commie bitch that should go back where she came from. Those were the good old 2003-2006 years... Glad truth is being exposed!!! And thank you!

Anastasia Martin

I've always hated bananas anyway--amazing work here on this episode 🙏

Sherry-lyn Murphy-Tyler

I'm in shock!! Well done.. This is truly horrific

Company Man did an episode on this but dear god, that was just the abridged version. From the sheer projection of the communist hysteria to the victim complex while begotiating with terrorists, these fruit companies have acted so awful that perhaps Mother Nature should take bannanas away.

raven

thank you can't wait to listen

Jonas

You've really outdone yourself on this one. Sounds like you could have done an entire season about these fuckers.

Jenn

I'm glad that you did an episode about this! I knew some of the details, but you added so much more backstory. Another home run episode

Chastity mccord

Man. This is so fucked up. Thank you for educating so many people!

Ursula Sindlinger

Excellent work!

Vanessa L

Thank you! This was an awesome episode!!!!

Austen Lockwood

Really excellent episode.

Johanna Gambale

Awesome episode! Definitely worth the wait. It’s obvious how much time, effort, research and fact-checking goes into what you do. Thanks ACC! Keep up the great work

Remember that dude who jumped out of the window? Well his son became a CEO and he's having a banner year! 🙃 https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-apolloglobal/investors-see-king-of-distress-apollo-having-its-best-ever-crisis-idUSKBN23X16S
