Yowei Shaw is a podcast producer, reporter, and emotional investigative journalist. She’s the creator and host of Proxy, a podcast that investigates emotional conundrums through conversations with strangers who have relevant experience. In her previous life, she spent many years making NPR’s Invisibilia, first as producer then as co-host and editorial lead. Her work has been honored with many awards and featured in places like This American Life and Pop Up Magazine. Finally, she would like everyone to know that she once made a music video of herself pole-dancing in a kleenex box costume as an attempt to get press for her new show. It did not work, but it did the trick as a grief ritual.
