  • Summary

  • True North Heists tells the tales of some of the most outlandish capers ever committed on Canadian soil. Acting legend Colm Feore (Bon Cop Bad Cop, Trudeau) dramatically weaves together “in the moment” storytelling with interviews with those with deep knowledge of the heists themselves, including law enforcement officers, writers and the criminals themselves. All capped off with a soundscape designed to keep the listener on the edge of their seat.

Fun and Entertaining Stories of Canadian Heists

This was a fun and entertaining listen. Several notorious Canadian masterminds are profiled along with their crimes. Fantastic narration from Colm Feore and people involved in the cases, including relatives are interviewed when available. The artistic way many pulled off their heists definitely livens up the listen. Highly recommended and I hope they do more. I remember the old show Masterminds that used to run on the old Court TV, This reminds me of it. Great series and a fun listen.

perfect series

I enjoy listening to true crimes, but I don’t want gruesome details. These stories are both interesting & entertaining. The narrator is great, too! The whole series is worth a listen.

Audible worker said check this out and boy she nailed it

This set of stories has some great moments shorter ones however but that would be my only complaint. But the stories are all just wild and amazing the title should be changed to something about how crazy people pull amazing crimes off to give it more of a pop to get listeners. Best first podcast on here and will try to find more like this

Very Entertaining

Really enjoyed the interviews and since of immersion of these heists. They did a lot of glorifying, though, and could have acknowledged the consequences and impacts of these heistmen.
