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 <a href="https://dovetail-cdn.prxu.org/9862/d1d27edf-7fd7-4d3b-b020-d469ce48cd3f/GWZ9fHi6e7meQXjomksd8BIAXazr-lLHKy8k42KZ__0/260222_Amanda_and_the_Nonstop_Narrator_NEW_CREDITS_MASTER.mp3?le=Wi593qC77aYrpTd_kJyuif1ektmimSBDMvJfYuDteu0&amp;exp=1773078666">Amanda and the Nonstop Narrator</a>.  The team is hard at work investigating another batch of cases, with new episodes returning mid-April 2026 🚀 <a href="https://www.proxypodcast.com/">Proxy</a> is an independent podcast, supported mostly by listeners.
