In a rugged corner of West Texas, billionaire wildcatters and roughnecks are fueling an oil boom so big it’s reshaping our climate, our economy, and our geopolitics. This modern-day gold rush has sent both big oil companies and scrappy start-ups scrambling to secure a piece of the action. Texas Monthly’s Christian Wallace follows characters along every rung of the oil field ladder, from the executive cutting billion-dollar deals to the itinerant pipeline worker risking life and limb, and from the traveling exotic dancer following the trail of money to those who worry that our planet is on a path to destruction. Meet the people cashing in and those just trying to get by as the world around them is turned upside down. "A beautiful ride filled with levity, even as it delivers troubling forecasts for the future" - The Atlantic 2021 Webby Award Honoree, Podcast Documentary

Insightful and Intriguing

Really enjoyed this podcast that I’m sure just scratched the surface on the Permian Basin. Having had relatives who made a living (a big living) in the oil and gas industry, I was somewhat familiar with the region. However, this podcast gave me the impetus to read about and explore the region further. It was what a podcast should be, entertaining with a enough information to stoke your curiosity for further knowledge.
Great Show - Thank you!

This is one of the best if not the best podcast I have ever listened to. I have listened to it at least 3 times and it never gets old. I love the original song and all the other music in the podcast. I love the interviews. And I love how hometown it feels, it’s great!

I have a new found appreciation and admiration for the people and life of West Texas. As a born and bred Texan, Texas is so big, complex and multifaceted, there are areas and places that I hadn't heard about seen or explored. This podcast took me to some of those places. The people and the stories were amazing. The storytelling was amazing!! I binged the entire show and have told some of my non-native Texas Texans about it but can see that it doesn’t resonate the same way that it does with me. I don’t care though. I’m telling everyone about this show. Well done Christian Wallace and Texas Monthly!!
