Hey, Invisibilia, this is Yo-A. You might remember me from the show. Today, we have an episode for my new indie podcast, Proxy. Proxy is strange. And some people are saying, wonderful. The idea for it comes from experiences I had working as a reporter. Like, for example, when I was at Invisibilia,

there would be times I'd be dealing with some sort of personal problem,

something really unique, usually embarrassing,

and I couldn't talk to anyone about it

because I didn't know anyone who could relate.

And so a bit selfishly, I'd report a story about it. I'd find someone dealing

with the exact same questions and talk to experts who could explain the confusing feelings I was

having. And by the end of reporting, I'd feel better. That's how I came up with proxy.

The idea of the show is that listeners come to me with emotional conundrums.

And then I scour the world for the perfect unicorn,

the stranger who has been in nearly exactly the same situation,

and then I set up a conversation between them.

We have new episodes every other Tuesday,

and every episode is an experiment.

The one I'm about to play for you is extra special,

because it involves not just one former host of invisibilia,

no, it is literally twice as good as that because it has two former hosts of Invisibilia.

Okay. Here it is. Thanks for listening. And subscribe to the show.

Hello. Hey, babe, I have a question about the episode.

Well, you're in luck.

How do you feel about me calling you a bisexual wife guy?

I mean, I don't know. It's fine.
