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.

Delightfully entertaining

Love this podcast format. Mr. Fennell was the perfect voice and delivery for a story that is playing out in my backyard. The world is so much more twisted than it appears. (The work on the water was in error.) Theft and distribution is fascinating. My thanks to the players mentioned who work to hold the ag tradition.

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.

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!

I’ll never be the same!

The story line, the narration, and the facts about our agri-culture contained in this podcast have forever changed the way I see the grocery aisles! It’s NUTS what goes on behind the scenes!

You'd be a Nut Case to pass on Nut Jobs

Fennell's investigation hits on so much more than a nut heist! In several ways, he challenges stereotypes, cultures, socioeconomic issues, nutrition, agricultural infrastructure, and the environmental issues impacting the foods we eat. Follow along until his kids crack the last pistachio - you won't regret it!!
