I like Proxy. I think it's an interesting concept and well executed, and it helps guests and listeners. But the reason I haven't listened beyond a few episodes is mostly that Yowei keeps including clips of asking her husband to do things for the show. I appreciate the difficulty of running an independent opperation and I don't mind that she talks about that and fundraises for the podcast. But to be perfectly honest, the husband chit chat evokes feelings of jealousy, as a single independent creat... more
Amazing talk across generations of activists. It was really valuable to hear about their attempts to turn off their aggro when it wasn’t really appropriate. Keep up the amazing work, Yowei! Thank you!
High quality Investigative storytelling. Engrossing and uplifting- thanks Yowei 😊

Keep it up. This is a must listen podcast for me and I’m always so happy to see a new episode pop up on my feed!
