Boomtown - Podcast Rankings and reviews

This was an excellent review / history of the development of the Permian Basin. The interviews and real time family conversations were priceless. Having a family background with Texas Oil and Landmen I especially appreciate the background that was presented.

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!!

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.

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!
