Proxy with Yowei Shaw
Y3 ProductionsIt’s the knot you can’t untangle - a problem so specific, it makes you feel alone. But what if you could talk to someone who gets it? On Proxy, we find just the person you were looking for, a stranger who's lived something close enough to help you get a little less stuck. It’s not therapy - it’s emotional investigative journalism™️. Yowei Shaw, former co-host of Invisibilia, at your service.
If you’re just discovering the show, a good place to begin is Bisexual Wife Guy, Mic Chooses the Wrong Life, or Brian Can’t Stop Fact-Checking His Mother-In-Law.
The team is hard at work investigating another batch of cases, with new episodes publishing in April 2026 🚀

Bisexual Wife Guy
If you're new to Proxy, welcome. This episode is a great place to begin.
The case of George, the bisexual wife guy who got dumped. In this episode, we find a proxy to stand in for a listener's ex - another queer woman who left her straight relationship. What follows is a conversation about breakups, grief, and the strange disorientation that can come when the story you thought you were living suddenly changes.
If this episode resonates, you might also try Mic Chooses the Wrong Life or Brian Can't Stop Fact-Checking His Mother-In-Law.
