The translator said she saw none of these things while working for Daisey.

Schmitz and This American Life host Ira Glass then confronted Daisey in an interview about the discrepancies between the translator's account of Daisey's trip to Shenzhen and his own.

During the interview, Daisey admitted to not actually talking to anyone poisoned with hexane.

"I met workers in, um, Hong Kong, going to Apple protests who had not been poisoned by hexane but had known people who had been, and it was a constant conversation among those workers," Daisey said.

Daisey also admitted to taking "shortcuts" in his work and apologized to Glass.
