“This team does a great job of explaining how the grid in Texas works and how it has evolved since it’s inception. I’m definitely impressed with the research that was conducted. Thank you!”

“The quality, the sensitivity, and the depth of this reporting is why I’m a sustaining KUT member. Your reporting is something Texans CAN be proud of, when there is so much our lawmakers do about which we should be concerned. Thank you!”

“If you live in Texas or use electricity anywhere (except if you are off the grid) this is a must listen! Excellent research and reporting by the KUT team - this is a complex and nuanced topic and they did a great job making it more accessible.”

“This is a story about Texas that addresses some of the biggest national questions of our time: aging infrastructure, the legacy of deregulation, market enterprise vs. regulation, the historical role of “public goods,” and so much more. Wonderful production of a fascinating and meaningful story.”

“The first season was superior storytelling. Having lived through the storm, I found those first episodes riveting. But the second season seems to have lost its way with jingles, sound effects, and unfortunate production choices designed to compensate for the lack of a compelling narrative.. The...”Read full review »

“I lived through the winter storm of 2021 & found Season 1 SUPER informative. It provided great info on how Texas got to its present energy configuration plus winter storm coverage/aftermath. I’m so happy Season 2 is here - looking forward to more great info/coverage!!”

“Having lived through the winter storm in 2021, I found this podcast really interesting. They provided a lot of background on the energy market in Texas and walked the listener through the events of the blackout day by day. I found the podcast really interesting and they did a good job keeping me...”Read full review »

“In 1994 I left the oil & gas fields of Alaska’s North Slope to work in Hong Kong and China on a new natural gas project designed to replace Hong Kong’s electric grid’s reliance on “dirty” fuels like coal with “cleaner” fuels like natural gas.
When I arrived I was assigned to work at the new...”Read full review »

“Are you a Texas resident? Unless you live in El Paso, which is part of the Western Grid, you get your power from the Texas grid, meaning you were left in the cold in February 2021, when historic cold resulted in a statewide power outage that may have resulted in 700 dead and caused billions of...”Read full review »

“Great investigative journalism. I learned more about what really happened. Why not a full episode one the law makers, specifically the governor’s lack of action. You did make some comments but I feel that there is more to that part the story.”

“I was so impressed by this podcast. They did a wonderful job explaining what happened and how we got here. Episode 3 had me in tears, they really captured what it was like to live through the blackout. I love to KUT team, but they outdid themselves here.”

“As someone who lived through this, I’m glad this podcast provides the deep insight and analysis that our lawmakers are incapable or unwilling to do.
There are so many shocking and telling moments that the team at KUT beautifully brought to light. Thank you so much for this phenomenal work.”

“How did Texas get into the mess of February 2021’s mass power outages and resultant chaos? Were the people and organizations at fault held to account for it? (Spoiler: nope). The answers to these (and many other) essential questions pursued capably in this podcast. I will DEFINITELY be following...”Read full review »

“When the storm happened, my retired oil man dad kept saying to me (on the phone) : I don’t understand how this happened in Texas. Now I understand more. It makes me really sad for Texans. I love this state, and its government could give a **** about Texans.”

“Texans need to hear the excellent reporting and history that this podcast covers.

These podcasts have helped me understand just how poorly state leadership’s response to the crisis was. So many dead, so much campaign cash filtered into the coffers of the very leaders...”Read full review »

“Lack of trust in Government drove us to where we are today with blackouts, freezing in ones own home and even deaths. But the story of why our blackout only heightens our own extended distrust in our Government.
Career politicans, lobbist, our proud willingness to ‘Stand Alone’ and power...”Read full review »
