Cracking the Case...in a Nutshell

Trucks loaded with tons of almonds disappear in the night. This is the just start of Marc's report.
With his friendly and easy to listen style Marc drives us deep in the industry of growing and distributing nuts from California to all over the world. A story that involves thefts, detectives, science, land, people and families.
A great and informative podcast that shows how behind the food we eat there's more than meets the eye.

Fantastic!!

Who knew the nut world could be so filled with crooks! It was a great podcast and extremely well executed by Marc. I did not realise just how much net worth the nut production business is. Definitely worth a listen.

Excellent expose that has weighed me down

Excellent expose on a very small part of agriculture. in depth and informative with the small amount of time this podcast has. I listened to it in one sitting while doing my housework. What weighs me down is concern I have for the food safety for future generations. Consumers and farmers. I'm a 3rd generation Australian farmer and the changes that we have been forced to make in our industry, not based on science but by profits margins of our biggest customer - major supermarkets. It is not in the interest of animal welfare or for the consumer. I see an industry that may not be around for my grand children This podcast highlights this for me. Excellent work.

Thought Provoking

Thought provoking podcast about some truck thefts that became an investigation into the food industry, water usage, and industrial relations. Worth a listen.

Highly recommend

Wow, how this story evolved was crazy. Entertaining, well presented, thought provoking. Highlights how we take our food production for granted.

Fascinating, enjoyable, surprising and informative

Nut Jobs is Marc Fennell's fascinating and highly entertaining exploration of the fiendishly clever Californian nut thefts, and their social and economic context and drivers. It is an incredibly detailed and informative series, covering everything from law enforcement investigations to public health and environmental issues, with many unexpected twists and turns. Throughout, Marc's gentle, friendly, nonjudgmental personality really shines through and undoubtedly helped him to get his many interviewees to open up. His humour, irony, and honesty is so very Australian and makes the series a real pleasure to listen to. I will definitely be listening to it again ... and again ... and again! Thank you Marc, great job buddy!!! 👍👍👍

My top 3 podcast show in 6 years!

The delivery, story, narration is so compelling that you just can’t stop listening! And the music is simply fantastic! Makes you feel like you’re watching a heist movie like Sting, Oceans eleven or Italian job! can’t recommend the NutJob enough. Amazing work Marc Fennell!
