Our Editor's Take

The Armored podcast tells true stories of armored truck robberies. One would think that stealing from such a vehicle could not be done. It is why so many memorable Hollywood hits revolve around this impossible crime. This show proves otherwise. The heists included in this podcast are straight from the history books, not Hollywood. Listeners may find it unbelievable. And that is part of what makes this podcast so captivating. This limited-run podcast series entertains and informs in signature true crime fashion. The tales here may appear to be fiction, but each is true.

Armored gives listeners a detailed examination of some of North America's most notable armored car cases. Host Jake Brennan (of Disgraceland) recounts each story of an armored truck robbery. He talks about the criminals and their motivations. He also discusses the people tasked with pursuing them. Every element of the podcast is exhilarating.

This podcast explains individual truck robberies, like the 1981 Weather Underground caper. But this true crime show also examines a bigger picture. Armored explores how and why this crime occurs and who specializes in it. The podcast host even talks with those who were survivors today.

Episodes of this fast-paced podcast are around 30 minutes in length. All ten episodes and a bonus episode are available. This show is for fans of true crime, action, and great storytelling. Armored truck robberies are not exclusive to the big screen. And Armored is the best place to hear the actual stories. The short-form show came out in 2021.
