Summary

For the Fourth of July holiday, we’re taking you on a getaway of sorts. It’s one that brings you to the beautiful mountains of New Zealand… but is decidedly less relaxing than a summer vacation. Today we’re sharing the first episode of a new podcast called Uinta Triangle, which documents the disappearance of a solo hiker named Eric Robinson. It’s a gripping and multifaceted story about exploration, the wilderness, and the tenuous relationship between the two. You’ll even hear the show’s host, Dave Cawley, follow in Eric’s footsteps to try and recreate Eric’s journey, in an effort to understand how he could have gone missing. After you listen, find the whole series by searching for Uinta Triangle on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Fail Better is now on YouTube! Watch all our episodes here.
