“One of those podcasts you casually try out and then end up binge listening to. I really wish he would pick it up again. The oil story changes the way you understand the world.”

“De flesta vet nog att början av förra seklet var när oljan blev viktigare och viktigare världen över. Men hur mycket vet du om vad oljan betydde för de som påverkades allra mest - länderna och personerna i oljeindustrin? Rekommenderas starkt.”

“I work in the oil industry so find this podcast interesting on a professional level. However, even on a personal level this is a great podcast. It is super interesting, amazingly researched and entertaining. I like the short size of the episodes as it keeps the narrative moving. Highly recommend it.”

“Absolutely fascinating to learn the history of a critical commodity as oil. Great stories with larger-than-life characters. Every new oil field is an adventure of discovery, politics, and big, big dollars. Can't help but feel like the podcast ended prematurely, but it was great while it lasted.”

“If this series were complete, it'd be one of the best history podcasts out there. Great topic, well written, well produced. Even though it's been over a year since the last episode, I keep it in my feed on the hope that someday a new episode will appear.”
