Series Producer: 'Nixon At War'

PRX

Narrative archive series presented by Kurt Andersen. How Richard Nixon used­­ the war to get elected and re-elected, and opened the political and cultural fissure that became the political and cultural chasm dividing Americans today. Remarkable archival tape recordings are the heart of the series — hundreds of buried, never-before-heard conversations and interviews that play like dark drama.

Series Producer: 'Nut Jobs'

Somethin' Else Productions for Audible

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.

Aussie comedian Marc Fennell was last heard as the presenter of the 2019 hit podcast It Burns, where he tried to track down the world’s hottest chilli. Nut Jobs is another food-themed show that starts with a low-key premise: Fennell checks out the theft of a truckload of almonds in California. The story develops into a $10m black-market investigation, with Fennell examining every angle, from the undocumented workers to law enforcement officers to wellness food fads. His friendly charm means everyone opens up to him in this strange and fascinating tale.
