Absolutely fantastic!

I am new to audio books, and this was my first listen/read. Unbelievable! The characters jump off the page, the stories are exciting and engaging. Colm Feore is da bomb for a narrator, and the authors/narrators to support each story Colm reads are excellent. I have recommended this to my family and friends because it is just too Canadian! Enjoy!

Fantastic narration!

A delightful peek into Canada's criminal capers! Colm Feore radiates his signature twinkle-eyed charm as he takes us through our nation's most (in)famous heists. (Bonus: Now I finally know how to pronounce Feore's name properly!)

Great Entertainment - Left me craving for more!

This collection of ten historically-based heists by such diverse characters that their personalities and feats will remain with me for some time. Expertly crafted stories by Andrew Kaufman and superb narration by Colm Feore.

Funny and tragic

The life of one of the men was truly tragic. No one would want to walk in his shoes.

True-ly enjoyable

I thoroughly enjoyed the 10 episode True North Heists series. Colm Feore wonderfully narrates Andrew Kaufman's words. Each episode is wonderfully crafted with interviews of the characters and authors. I'm looking forward to episodes 11-20 hopefully soon! I'm certain you will binge this series as I did after just one episode.

a children's picture book of a podcast.

I don't hate it, I'm just dissapointed. so much could have been explored, but instead this is just a "huh this happened, wild innit." without any exploration of why.

the podcast also has a love of cops, never truely going out of its way to talk to the people who commit crimes or their biographers. just really all the information you would expect from a scholastic book fair picture book.

My son loves it

My son listened to all of them like 40 times he’s loved Red Ryan, and the stopwatch gang. He wish you guys could make more episodes because there’s no other crime stories like these ones.
