Best of Midland
There's more to Midland than oil and gas — and Best of Midland is the podcast about the people proving it. Each week, married couple Ryan Shewchuk and Terra Avery sit down with the folks who make Midland, Midland: the small business owners, makers, and characters behind the places you love. Real conversations about how they got started, what almost broke them, and why they're still here in West Texas. If you live here, you'll recognize the names. If you don't, you'll wish you did.
