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.

I will never look at an almond the same way ever..
Bonkers story that makes you question everything and makes you want to eat something other than nuts!

Great sound editing and captivating narration create an amazing story that leads you from one place to another, drawing a big picture around the simple subject of an almond, in which we find ourselves a part of.

food for thought indeed
A lot more than a story about theft. An insightful study on where our food comes from and the lives impacted so that it just appears on the shelf.

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.

Great Podcast, Don't Listen to the Nay Sayers!
First of all, this is a podcast about true crime, not a robbery story. The journalist dives into the seedy world of agricultural crime and explains to the listener how socioeconomic's, corporate greed, environmental deterioration, and agricultural theft are all intertwined. This is not "personal political drivel,", or an "attack on Republicans", or "liberal BS". It is is a factual account of how and why agricultural theft is going on in our world today. First of all, the journalist is from Australia and is not accustomed to some of our American culture. Especially our gun culture. Therefore this is reflected in the narration of this part of the podcast. I won't spoil it for you but it IS NOT an "attack on Republicans" as one reviewer put it. Second, this doesn't have to do with just the theft of nuts and dives into the socioeconomic, corporate, and environmental world. As a Business major, I found this absolutely fascinating and relevant.
After listening to this podcast, it made me take a serious look at where my food comes from and who my money actually benefits. It also made me wonder how those companies treat their employees and am I funding what amounts to abuse. If you are a Marketing, Agricultural, Business, or Logistics major I highly recommend you listen to this podcast and do some further research. You'll be astounded at what you find. Even if you're just a regular, every day person, I highly recommend this for the same reasons. If anything, it will make you think about the life cycle of how your food got on your table and who it actually was that made that possible.
Great, great listen.

Not about the crime.
Author starts by reviewing a crime and then turns it to a political story by making the criminal into the victim.

Dont miss out on this one.
I can not believe there was only one review written before mine. This short series is informative, entertaining and well paced. Also who wouldn't want to hear someone say "Nut Heist" a bunch of times in an Australian accent? Give this one a listen, you will be glad you did.

Opinions
Not a fan.
Stopped listening after the second episode; he seemed to think this was a joke. Didn’t appreciate the uncalled for opinions of guns, stereotypical ‘Republicans’ (guess they all wear body armor) and the criticism of the investigators who were trying to show him what he asked for.
Too bad as the subject was interesting but the narrator was not.

Unusual true crime
This audiobook makes you think twice about everyday foods. It was enjoyable with lots of twists and turns! Hearing an Australian experience various nuances of American life was also highly amusing.

This is such an amazing story. Took me to places I really didn't expect. And not your usual true crime show.

An in depth look at an unexpected crime
The podcast gives you a good overview of the nut industry, the trucking industry, how exports are scrutinized or not at busy ports, the people who work in agriculture and much more. It is light yet serious. He makes you understand how an independent trucker could be duped into unknowingly hauling a stolen load of nuts; the high rate of crime in the nut industry and how poor the workers are. If you liked Tomatoland, Extra Virginity or Real Food, Fake Food you will enjoy this podcast.

A highly informative PodCast!
So very interesting. a perfect example of how we, as ignorant people, can cause chaotic results. Also showing how and why the selfish actions of some can make the lives of others so very hard!
