We've all been there, feeling alone with a problem because no one in our life can relate,

or maybe because the one person we wish we could talk to won't or can't.

But what if you had your own personal investigative journalist scouring the world for the perfect stranger who gets it?

That's where proxy comes in, a new sister show in the Radiotopia family that comes from

Yo-Wei Shaw, the former host of NPR's Invisibilia. On proxy, Yo-Wei tackles your emotional

conundrums, and she finds you a proxy to talk to, someone who's been in your situation or has

relevant experience and can hopefully provide the insight you need.

It's emotional investigative journalism at your service.

Proxy with Yo-A. Shaw. Subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. New cases every other Tuesday.

Hi. Oh my God. I'm so excited. It's season two. But before we get started, I just need to say, Babeland, an amazing feminist sex toy store, has decided to support us for the first four episodes of season two. So if you don't know about Babeland yet, it's a sex toy store that's owned by women, and they have every kind of sex toy that you could

ever want and they do more than just sell shit they also do amazing workshops and support amazing

projects that further our common mission to enhance people's sex lives through frank open humorous

discussions about sex if you want to help

them know that supporting audio smut was a great idea, next time you get a vibrator, go to babeland.com

and use the code 52909. They'll give you 10% off and free shipping.

You can also use it in a store if you're in New York or Seattle.

Okay, anyway, that's, I just had to tell you guys that.

Now we're going to start.

In an unnamed and unknown afterlife.

We need to talk, sad face.

Juliet, my better have. I know what this is about. Mercutio kept me out last night and I didn't kiss your beautiful, bright angel face good night. I'll make it up to you. Meet you at your window tonight with a pie and breadstick stuffed crust. Ah, you know I love stuffed crest, but I gave up gluten four months ago.

And seriously, we need to talk now.
