California’s Central Valley is the source of almost all of the world’s pistachios, walnuts, and almonds, and there are families who have been farming and supplying them for generations. It sounds like a pretty wholesome but humble livelihood, so why would organized crime take an interest in stealing $10 million dollars of these protein-packed little kernels of delight from their handlers? It’s a story that’s almost too nuts to believe.

On this episode, we’re joined by Marc Fennell, award-winning journalist, interviewer, author, documentary maker, and writer and narrator of Audible Original Nut Jobs: Cracking California’s Strangest $10 Million Dollar Heist. Here, we discuss what makes nuts such a lucrative industry, why they’re the perfect cargo for evading detection in transit, where current security protocols fail in keeping these hot nuts from hitting the global market, and what efforts are being made to keep these heists from continuing. Listen, learn, and enjoy!
