Highly recommend. Essential listening for anyone intellectually engaged with our world

Such an essential investigative journalism resource, invaluable!

Important topic, too bad it's delivered with the energy of a mandatory HR meeting. The host is dull and condescending, and the whole show has major Karen vibes. This really needs a fresher host or at least a younger co-host who actually gets the current moment.

Decent content in here but if it were any slower, it would be in reverse. Also can’t stand the vocal fry… touches every nerve ending.

this podcast is as crucial as it is informative. one of the best, true crime indeed.

Great information but I found that they kept repeating voice clips from interviews and made the whole thing just drawn out for unnecessary reasons. I think they cut the episodes to be really short so they can pack as many adds in and then they keep reusing the same interview bits. I love climate science and love fighting big oil but this could have been 3 episodes with much less adds…

The climate is the number 1 issue we must solve, and this podcast is essential for understanding the enemies who are blocking real action.

Love this podcast. Entertaining, informative but also highlights how scary and manipulative the fossil fuel industry is. It’s amazing story telling, but sometimes when you say story you think of fiction but terrifyingly this is all real life.

This is an excellent podcast. Well researched, interesting, it poses a fundamental challenge to established doctrine

You need to listen to the back log of this podcast. Amy does such an incredible job of exposing the mechanics of how we have been lied to for decades and the costs of those decisions by major corporations. You need to listen to this podcast to be a well-informed person!

Drilled is my favorite climate podcast. The information and presentation are oth excellent. Can’t recommend enough

As a journalist who covers oil and gas globally, as well as a curious person, this podcast is simply amazing. Thanks for your hard work and great reasearch! Jeffrey Barbee

Really enjoyed the first few episodes of the Guyana season and then randomly on episode 6 we have a professor talking about us for 30 minutes and episode 7 was about Namibia? Seemed a bit unplanned.

Now THIS is the “a true Crime” people should be listening to. Sure, plastics have revolutionized healthcare for oils and other things. But we don’t have to use it to the degree we do. And we certainly shouldn’t be /subsidizing/ an industry which used the inflation crisis as cover to increase their profits. Enough of the soapbox. The podcast: well researched. Enjoy the different voices they have talking about the background of this stuff. Good host. Episodes could be a little longer, but that’s better than if they were drawn out just for the sake of it. As for the ads, producing podcasts and paying researchers and travel and and and does cost money. So there’s that. By all means, no more ads than now, but at least they are short.

A panic-inducing quantity of ads. The balance of ads to content is so distracting it’s hard to assess the content. Might be worth a try if there were an ad-free feed available — it’s a really good subject area. I really hope the era of the 5 minute host-read ad block ends soon.

Love the pod, but the ads are ridiculous.

I really enjoy this podcast and the well researched thoughtful information provided. My issue is that each episode has very little actual content. There’s a recap of the past episode, several ads, then a preview of the next episode. Only about ten minutes of each episode is actual content. I’d prefer longer episodes with fewer per season.

for an important and relevant science based podcast i think over the top inaccurate language is egregious. Specifically; telling lies about EVs. we dont need to lie about EVs to be pro clean air. and it tarnishes our efforts to clean the environment, or saying “mid two thousands”. Such an ugly clumsy mouthful. and if that is not reason enough in consideration of us who have to listen to it, then maybe the logic is enough reason. that would be around the year 2500, or in the range of 2400-2600. if you want to talk about the years 2000-2010 you have plenty of choices. “oughts”, “naughts”, “naughties”, “early 21st century” or just saying specific numbers like “2003 to 2005”. thanks for reading this. i hope to help.

This was yet another great, thorough, well-researched season. I enjoyed hearing varied, nuanced opinions on this complex topic. Grateful to Amy and her team for all their hard work!

Another important and underreported story this season, and I liked the melding of the Drilled and Damages approaches.

This podcast is a biased view of Exxon’s involvement in Guyana. The narrator misleads the listener continuously while claiming that Exxon is doing the same. Only made it through two episodes but didn’t hear anything about the Chinese oil companies operating in Guyana. Also, the narrator made the choice to comment about Vice report that showed Chinese businessmen bribing Guyanese officials but failed to mention it outside of the context of Exxon’s oil deal. I wonder how many CCP donations this climate activist group receives?

Knowledge is power, the fossil fuel industry has for far too long had total control over the way they are portrayed. Drilled is a podcast which continues to remove the veil of misinformation and confusion oil & gas corporations have built around them to protect their ecocide & criminal activities around the world. Thank you Amy & team for the important work you do.

Many podcast episodes today are an hour and half, sometimes two hours long, saturated with jarring ads and poor editing. On top of this, the content is often emotionally draining to listen to, especially since host's sharing their subjective political opinions are the new social norm, existing in echo chambers with guests merely rephrasing their priors. Well here is the antidote. Rigged is like a documentary mini-series, continually exposing and educating the public in digestible but salient portions, with experts who bring technical rigor to storytelling. Thank you for terrific work, stellar reporting, and succinct short-form pacing. Truly love this podcast.

AW and the rest of the Drilled team expose the fossil fuel industry and all its corruption with great stories, detail, and perspective. A must listen for the modern informed citizen.

Everyone involved in making decisions about oil and gas industry and climate should be required to listen — especially including all members of federal and state legislatures.

Thank you Amy, this topic needs more attention.

As many other reviewers have said, this podcast is simultaneously fascinating and infuriating. Amy does a phenomenal job of digging into the history of oil in the United States and clarifies how it became part of our cultural identity. And despite the often upsetting nature of revealing all these truths, I binged all of the episodes over the course of a couple of weeks because it was so engaging. Thanks to Amy and the rest of the Drilled team for shining a light on how we got to where we are today, and for reminding me that there are ways out of the mess we’re in.

Informative and upsetting at the same time. Keep it up and thanks.

This podcast is amazing. I can’t believe how in depth it is and the mad men season blew my mind. Definitely worth supporting.

A must-listen for anyone who wants to understand why progress on climate has been stymied and what we can do about it.

Reporting from internal company sources and top scientists. Pods can be a little short… listen to a few at a time?

Great content - awful podcast execution. 100 episodes that could literally be just 5 long episodes. Each is 15 minutes with 10 minutes of replay + advertising. All I get is creepy music and a short build up to the next episode. So annoying, sorry.

Such great reporting. It’s tough to hear how industry is screwing our planet over, but a lot of hope is offered as well.

Such an excellent podcast, but also terrifying. The human race is so screwed.

Well researched, hard hitting. B rings me news and views about climate change that I didn’t know I needed to know. Thank you Amy. You are my Shero!

I love this podcast. The information is fantastic, if not sad, and the host is amazing!

Thank you Amy and Drilled team! This podcast needs to be heard by the world to understand the criminal nature of the fossil fuel industry and facilitate its swift demise. We aren’t going anywhere!

Excellent show that exposes the gas-lighting that the fossil fuel industry has been doing for decades. Must listen for anyone who cares about our shared future.

Verifiable information. Reputable guests. Scary (bite size) episodes. True crime format fits this podcast to a tee! Thumbs up.

Great show; informative and just the right length for my walks :)

I have been listening for a short time and already have made connections between what local action I can take in my New England community to fight the fossil fuel industry. Thank you!

I’ve generally struggled to get into podcasts because I can never really keep up with the info. This podcast has stories that keep you interested, with a good mix of narrative and interviews in an easy to understand way. It breaks climate issues down into concrete examples rather than vague ideas. I also like how the ads on the podcast are for things viewers would actually be interested, rather than the standard sponsors that other podcasts tend to use. I guess my only complaint is that I wish episodes came out more often, because if so it would probably be the only thing I listened to.

Incredibly detailed account of the subversion of our democracy by Big Oil at the cost of the earth and our way of life..

Very informative well researched and reported.

Great show with information and insight to combat the big oil propaganda machine.

Keep up the great work!

you are doing such incredible important work in this world and I am so thankful I have found Drilled and Hot Take and everything you do. can’t thank you enough, you’re changing lives hearts and minds with this amazing podcast

The newest series of shows (about how fossil fuel companies put together lesson plans for educators to use) continue the excellent tradition of the show. Who needs more podcasts, you may ask. Well, this one gives you a lot of information you need to think about how to address climate change and why the fight is so hard and so many are resistant. And it’s not overwhelming listeners with episodes (a good thing in our Information Age). Quality over quantity. Excellent work.

This is the most important conversation we can have. Expertly produced and thoroughly researched. Thank you to the team who put together what I think is the best anthology of the libertarian anarchists’ undermining of our global future.

Drilled has helped my understanding of the oil and gas industry deepen and expand. The information is robust, and the show is well-edited and produced. I find it engaging and informative.
