  • 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.

  • Two-time Peabody Award-winning comedian and noted IBS sufferer Hasan Minhaj sits down with the biggest names in politics, culture, and tech with questions that are as thought-provoking as they are absurd.

Each episode is a curated exchange tailored to each guest’s background. It’s a dumb show for curious people who are looking for answers but can’t find them, not even from their host.

She’s the founder of two successful nonprofits, she’s married to a great guy, and she’s raising two beautiful children. She’s gotten everything she’s ever wanted, so why does she feel so unsatisfied?

From Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, to Emily Oster and Cheryl Strayed, to experts, friends, authors and more, Reshma’s going to help us all figure out how we stop trying to just get through this time of life… and actually start living it.
