  • Must-Listen!

    I started tuning into Oil and Gas This Week on my long commute, and it's become a weekly must-listen for me. What I appreciate most is how they break down industry topics that could easily get bogged down in jargon into conversations that actually make sense, even if you're not deep in the technical weeds. Congrats to the both of you on the marriage, it's clear the chemistry carries over into how well you two work together on air.

    Also want to give a mention to NavVis, who sponsors the show. Bef... more

  • The Oil and Gas podcast I actually look forward to

    Mark and Paige, you guys cut through the noise in oil and gas industry news. Whatever's happening - regulatory shifts, market moves, company announcements - you explain it in language that doesn't require an energy MBA to follow. Plus you're genuinely fun to listen to.

    I use your show to stay current on what my clients are dealing with every week. And listening to your podcast doesn't feel like work. I actually look forward to new episodes.

    Love that you launched a Brazilian Portuguese version... more

  • Commander-in-Chief

    Mark and Page,

    I’m a long-time listener and occasional commenter. I’ve learned a great deal from you about how the industry actually operates as a business, rather than through politics.

    I’m writing in response to Episode 400 and your discussion of the recent review. While I agree that the President is Commander-in-Chief, the founding fathers intentionally built checks and balances into our system so that no single person could unilaterally take the country to war. Iraq, Korea, and Vietnam all... more
