Australian trekker Eric Robinson loved to hike. He had a passion for walking in the wilderness, sometimes spending weeks alone in the outdoors. Until one time, he didn’t come home. Eric vanished into a mountain range that has a habit of swallowing people. Uinta Triangle tells the story of the desperate search for Eric Robinson. Host Dave Cawley (journalist and creator of the hit true crime series COLD) follows in Eric’s footsteps. And he joins Eric’s wife, Marilyn Koolstra, in her worldwide hunt for answers about her missing husband. Uinta Triangle is an immersive story of investigation and adventure. It’s also an exploration of how far any of us are willing to go for the people and the places we love.

To be human is to fail – period. And not just to fail once, but to fail a lot. As the author Samuel Beckett said: “Fail again. Fail better.” This saying means a lot to me and my family – so much so that my daughter got a tattoo of it. Why are we, and so many others, so deeply concerned by failure? And if it’s something we all do so often, why are we so afraid of it – especially those of us here in win-at-all-costs America? In this podcast, I sit down with successful, thoughtful people like Ben Stiller, Bette Midler, Sean Penn and more to talk about failure – or what they labeled “failure,” but what was really an unparalleled opportunity for growth and revelation. I even want to delve into my own hardest moments, when I wrestled with setbacks, shame, and fear. We’ll still fail again. And again. But maybe if we fail better, we’ll feel better -- and maybe if we can all laugh together in failure, that's a start.

It’s time to travel back to the Jeffersonian – this time, with an insider tour from the squint squad who made “Bones” one of the longest-running primetime dramas in TV history. Emily Deschanel (Dr. Temperance “Bones” Brennan) and Carla Gallo (Daisy Wick) are besties who met on set and are ready to take you back to the beginning, episode by episode. How did the show start? Which first-season episode aired out of order? Why did the Angelator become the Angelatron? And shouldn’t Brennan have been wearing gloves or something when she was reconstructing that skull? (The answer is yes.) Emily and Carla will also interview the cast, the crew, the directors, and the producers who made the show so special. Whether you’re a new watcher or already King of the Lab, we promise this rewatch will save you from ever saying “I don’t know what that means” again.

In the wee hours, here in Australia, of 7 November 2024, after a day of watching hope drain away as the US election results flooded in, I felt bereft, so I listened to Julia LD’s chat with Catherine O’Hara. Another stellar interview, of course, but what lifted me out of my pit of depression more than anything else was Julia’s chat with her mum. I had tears streaming down my face, laughing. All my love to the women of America who have joy, fun, love and generosity in their hearts – may the next 4+ years not be pure hell. Thank you, Julia, for reminding us of the amazing women – even if they are elites 🙄 – who improve the world, not least of all your mother. 😘
Incredible show
