Reviews
- Entertaining and informative at the same time
I binge-watched all 11 episodes! This was a very well-rounded and thought provoking podcast. I learned so much, and as the author said as well, I was left with more questions. It leaves me wanting to learn more about the Texas Permian Basin. It was told in a relaxing and entertaining way with a wonderful cast of real people from all walks of life in the Permian basin.

From the content to the accents to the people he interviews, this is a fabulous education about one big piece of Texas. This reluctant newcomer found it incredibly illuminating.
Apple Podcasts5ccmcmk2United Statesa year ago - Brilliant series about everything!
A fantastic oral history series about West Texas; the fossil fuel industry; fracking; education; environment; and the many and varied socioeconomic factors affecting this area. A great listen and especially for those who aren’t as knowledgeable about fracking and the financial and environmental issues surrounding it.

United Kingdoma year ago - Excellent
Great narration, thoughtful interviews and explainers that are an indictment of the troubles with the industry, rather than a knee-jerk reaction that usually serves only to hurt the local people whose economy has been designed to rely on it.
Apple Podcasts5GeumpyhistoryUnited States2 years ago - Good the bad and the ugly
Boomtown covers intimately, the entirety of what an oil boom touches locally. A boom creates good times but all good times end, and in their wake they leave broken roads, broken towns, broken people. My favourite podcast to this day. Have listened more than once. It has a texture. Anyway. Just listen.
