About this listen

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. 80% 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.

excellent storytelling!

it literally feels you are part of the investigation. Marc has done in depth study and equally good work in narrating incidents.

amazing naration

Really enjoyed listening to this ebook. Simple story - thought provoking and giving insights about stuff we never think about. made me realize to give more importance to ethical food than green/organic one.

it's not really about the job but why it happened.

it's not a thriller just a notion how important nuts are and why. didn't expect this.

The most confusing, middling story every written /

Briefly the story starts with trucks carrying almond nuts getting stolen. From there the writer touches almost every generic hot topic of today except for finding out who are stealing those trucks. The writer touches on Armenian Americans,Italian mafia, water shortages, climate change, poverty in California etc. You think of it and the writer has expounded on it. The most hilarious was the suggestion that everyone should stop eating nuts because farmers get a raw deal and very bad money for growing them. The writer should be aware that it's the same for every vegetable, meat etc industry. So we should all stop eating anything which is produced by exploitative labour. A most disappointing Audible production.

Nut Job, literally!

Never thought I'd be listening to a podcast about nuts being stolen, their history, the hardwork that goes behind each piece. It's an entertaining and eye opening story and I'd recommend that people hear such stories which give you insights into different aspects of life rather than only thinking about our current situation

Amazing...

Wow... Loved it... All the events are so elegantly binded to each other and the book touches all sections of a product be it production, researches, marketing strategy, health benefits, environmental & health consequences, cartel... Everything superbly done with amazing narration bringing in live to them...
And last 5 mins of narration in Snowmelt is so touching and true... This statement really caught my ears and mind and I quote "How addicted we are to the illusion of plenty"...
