One of the most disturbing and important conversations I've ever had. Cobalt is in every smartphone and most battery powered technology, and the mining of it in the Congo takes place under the most inhumane conditions imaginable. Siddharth Kara risked his life to expose this, and I am deeply grateful that he came on the podcast to tell this story.
