Oilmen

Oilmen

These great men had a formula for success. Rise early. Work hard. And - most importantly - strike oil. Each episode I read a biography of an oilman. Some loom large and have a shining legacy. Others have been largely forgotten. But what they all did was enable an energy revolution that built our modern world. This is Oilmen.

    Betrayal Season 5

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
