It’s the knot you can’t untangle — a problem so specific, it makes you feel alone. But what if you could talk to someone who gets it? On Proxy, we investigate niche emotional conundrums by finding someone who's lived something close enough — and following the conversation that unfolds. It’s not therapy. It’s emotional investigative journalism™️.
New cases drop every other Tuesday 🍏
Because these conversations can be tender, we take consent, care, and boundaries seriously. Read our ethics policy here.
Proxy is independent, tiny, and mostly listener-funded. Which means the show only keeps existing because of listeners who help keep it going. Proxy HQ is our home base for that support — and for people who want to go deeper into the Proxy-verse.
Join for free to get File Under Feelings, our newsletter from the emotions beat: episode liner notes, show gossip, and emotional rabbit holes.
Become a paid member, starting at $5/month, to help sustain the show — and get our thank-you perks: bonus episodes, ad-free listening, and live Proxy hangs.
Team
Proxy is made by a tiny, but mighty team: one full-time journalist and a handful of trusted collaborators.
