Hello! My name is Yowei, as in NO way with a Y. 

​

I'm an award-winning podcast host, producer, and self-proclaimed "emotional investigative journalist." I spent many years making the NPR's Invisibilia podcast, where I reported on messy topics like racial sexual preferences, friend therapy, and the power of trolling your boss. 

​

At Invisibilia, I discovered the magic trick of "reporting on your feelings." Turns out - when you talk to experts and strangers who have shared experience with your problem, you get less stuck. 

​

This is how Proxy was born. 

​

I now host and produce Proxy, a show about answering niche emotional questions through conversations with experts and strangers who have shared experience. For example, pairing a laid-off couple with a proxy HR rep. Or trying to figure out is there anything we can actually do about polarization at this point?

​

Proxy is a completely independent production. If you'd like to support the show and get exclusive bonus episodes, you can become a member of our Patreon. ​​
