Unexpectedly fascinating
Marc Fennell has written an entertaining 'crime thriller' about the theft of an awful lot of nuts in California. Along the way, often via guests who are either people involved in the case or experts, he tells us a lot about the food industry, especially the complex web by which food is transported to local cities, and to ports from which it can be exported overseas. I listened to Marc's previous book It Burns and enjoyed that too.

A good but lesser follow-up
Much more sprawling and unfocused than 'It Burns', though this is perhaps appropriate given that the topic is the logistics industry, which sprawls across the globe and—so we learn—is unfocused among a multitude of independent trucking contractors. But whether that parallel was deliberate or not, this podcast lacked narrative cohesion. Fennell is still an engaging host, and he still brings personal angles into the story (this time through his young son). All the individual pieces of information he presents are interesting (I found the episode with Marion Nestle to be particularly illuminating). But he doesn't tie them together and doesn't draw much of a conclusion, to say nothing of solving the titular mystery (he gets no more specific than "probably the Armenian Mafia").

So many perspectives
A wonderful ride through an event and the circumstances which caused it all to happen.

Nut Job ear opening experience
A very interesting and scary listen, to how we get our food these days. Very well presented. I will be looking up Marc to listen to other pod casts. Enjoyed it far more than I first thought I would. thanks Marc.

Fascinating
I really enjoyed this series. Nut Jobs not only follows the story of a series of strange and surprising crimes but looks into the past, present and future of agriculture in California's Central Valley and how it impacts the world. An interesting and fascinating listen. Marc Fennell is also entertaining to listen to even if you don't normally enjoy investigative journalism.
