Summary
It’s the $10 million heist you’ve never heard of. In a matter of months, dozens of truckloads disappeared from American highways. But what were they carrying? Nuts.
Marc Fennell takes you into a rabbit hole of crime syndicates, stolen identities and private investigators that will change the way you think about food forever. Eighty per cent of the world’s almonds are grown in the heart of California, but this journey will take you to Italy, the Spanish coast, deep under the earth and even into space.
A Somethin' Else production for Audible Originals.

Eye opening
Really interesting, well presented, we have a serious problem on this planet with the food industry that most of us are oblivious to. This is essential listening, we need to be aware of this.

Everyone should listen to this
An amazing piece of journalism which really makes you think. And worry about the future of agricultural practices in California.

Interesting topic
I wasn't sure what to expect from the title. I thought it might be mental health based but it was free so I downloaded it. Nut Jobs actually was a great listen. From nuts being stolen, Oscars disappearing, flawed freight systems in America, water problems in California, effective crime organisations and lots of other issues I hadn't considered, I'll never look at an almond again without thinking of this series.

Not exactly what it says it is...
I thought this was going to be the story of a strange and daring heist (which it is for about an episode and a half) but it is much more an examination of one branch of the global food industry. Was it interesting? Yes, to some degree. Would I have preferred a detailed examination of the original nut crime (similar in depth to other audible originals "Call me God", "West Cork" or "Evil has a name")? I think so.

makes you look at food differently...
This was an incredible combination of heist tale, and a story with world-wide ramifications, and some facts slammed in to make you look at your food differently. The presenter is incredibly appealing, and funny, and then you find out where he is leading you... You never know where this story will take you next, it has some most unexpected twists and turns. Who would have thought that a story about stolen nuts could be quite so important, and serious, and jaw-dropping,
It IS amazingly entertaining, but the story it tells is one we should all be aware of, the worldwide implications of what he finds out are startling, and should be more widely-known.
An absolute top-class podcast: this one has everything. Highly recommended.

Cracking storytelling
Wonderful, so much more than a crime story, an ecological and welfare journey through California's nut Valley. All told in a warm and humorous way. Loved it, such a shame my lad has a nut allergy!

Well done! Absolutely recommend it!
Well done, very interesting that takes a critical look at different aspects around nut farming and crime developed around food products.
