Part 2 of Yowei's quest to solve the mystery of proxy conversations. Why do they work?  How? Can Yowei figure out how to explain the show to people who don't get it?   In this episode, Yowei gets advice from actor, comedian, and proxy conversation expert Connor Ratliff.    Over 20 years ago, Tom Hanks fired Connor from a small role in the HBO mini-series Band of Brothers - apparently for having "dead eyes." But is that really what happened? Connor made a podcast called Dead Eyes to investigate, and had 30 episodes worth of proxy conversations before talking to Tom Hanks himself.    Check out Connor Ratliff's work: Dead Eyes podcast Tiny Dinos podcast The George Lucas Show   Episode credits: Produced by Yowei Shaw and Kim Nederveen Pieterse Mixed by Kyle Pulley     Proxy is a completely independent production.

Yowei has a problem. She's having trouble explaining the show to people who don't get it. She knows proxy conversations work. But why? How?   Part 1 of a 4-part quest to solve the mystery of proxy conversations.

When the work-specific euphemism "layoff" was first coined in the 19th century, it indicated "respite" or "relaxation." But layoffs in 2024 are anything but. It's almost impossible not to spiral after getting "let go," "phased out," "reduced in force." In a culture that makes hiring and company culture extremely personal, being laid off out of nowhere can feel like getting dumped by the love of your life... except the love of your life happens to be both your income source and, as it turns out, an entity that never actually cared about you that way. Doomy layoff vibes seem to pervade contemporary job discourse, but are layoffs as much of a crisis as they seem? How's a person to know the career path they chose wasn't one big mistake? And after getting laid off, how can one manage to drum up a sense of motivation ever again?? To help us wrap our heads around this overwhelm, host Amanda (amanda_montell) is joined by emotional investigative journalist, NPR layoff survivor, and host of the Proxy podcast, Yowei Shaw (@yoweishaw). - Catch Amanda on book tour!

DescriptionIn life, sometimes we have a unique experience that leaves us with big emotional questions. And sometimes, there's no one around us who can answer our questions. Each episode, host Yowei Shaw connects a guest with the “proxies” they need - experts and individuals with shared experience. Not an advice show and definitely not therapy, Proxy offers something different: a space for people to confront, commiserate and even find the comedy (or cringe) through frank conversation.Website: https://www.patreon.com/ProxyPodcastWhat I Liked About This EpisodeIt's from a former NPR employee so lots of cool mood music and great recording. It's warmWhat I Thought Could Use Some PolishingFor me NPR always takes forever to get to the good point, and they fall in love with production and irrelevant details. In this episode, I'm sorry to hear you lost your job (I've been there), but you didn't give me a reason to care.

With every layoff, there's the blackbox of what's really going on behind the scenes. Why did it go down the way it did? Was it really not about your performance, like they told you? How does the layoff list get made anyway?In our inaugural proxy conversation, we connect Miles and Elliot with a proxy HR professional to answer their layoff questions.From the episode:You can listen to original layoff song Gold Star on Tidal and Spotify, and watch the ridiculous layoff interpretive pole dance music video on YouTube. Gold Star was written by Yowei Shaw and Kyle Pulley, produced and mixed by Kyle Pulley of Headroom Studios, The music video was directed, filmed, and edited by Alex Beebe, with art by typobrekkie, and production and costume support from Joanna Solotaroff.Thank you to Catie Maillard for being our proxy HR professional.

By one estimate, 40 percent of American workers get laid off at least once in their careers. And when that happens, companies will often say, "It's not personal. It has nothing to do with you or your performance. We're just changing priorities, making a strategic shift." It's like the business version of: "It's not you, it's me." And just like a breakup, it feels terrible. This happened to a man we're calling V, who was working at the same company as his husband when he got laid off. And for V, the experience felt shocking. It left him and his husband with a lot of unresolved questions. On today's show, the story of that layoff. And we help that couple get some answers by taking their questions to an HR expert who gives the low-down on lay-offs. This story is adapted from a 3-part series on layoffs produced by Yowei Shaw for her show, Proxy. The layoff series was edited by John DeLore with research and reporting help from Kim Nederveen Pieterse. You can listen to the full layoff series from Proxy wherever you get your podcasts, and you can support the show and find out more by going to patreon.com/proxypodcast. And you can check out her original song "Gold Star" on Spotify and YouTube.

Candice Lim is joined by Yowei Shaw (former co-host of NPR's Invisibilia) to discuss her new podcast Proxy, which takes listeners through the psychological aftermath of a layoff, starting with Shaw's own layoff from NPR. In March 2023, the public radio institution laid off approximately 10 percent of its staff, resulting in the cancellation of four podcasts, including Invisibilia. Shaw, along with her team, was working on an upcoming season of the podcast when they were suddenly without jobs. More than a year later, Shaw is back with Proxy, which investigates layoff culture and asks questions like “Is there a good way to lay off employees?” and “Why did my HR representative smile when they laid me off?” This podcast is produced by Se'era Spragley Ricks, Daisy Rosario, Candice Lim and Rachelle Hampton.

This week, the hosts of NPR's Invisiblia, Yowei Shaw and Kia Miakka Natisse, stop by to discuss NASA's asteroid mission, the CIA's new podcast and a child art prodigy. Then, we dive into the history of literary pseudonyms with Carmela Ciuraru, author of ‘Nom de Plume.' Plus, Autostraddle CEO Riese Bernard explores why so many queer TV shows have been canceled after one season with Nerdette producer Anna Bauman.

Michael Tubbs is the former mayor of Stockton and the author of the upcoming book, The Deeper the Roots: A Memoir of Hope and Home.Stockton is representative of where California intersects—or where California collides. You have this tension between rural and agricultural and urban. I remember telling people I was from Stockton, and everyone thought it was a community with a lot of farms. I was like, “I ain't never seen no farm!” It's a city with city issues but a very agricultural background. That place has given me an appreciation for salt-of-the-earth-type folks—folks who may not have gone to college, folks who may not work in tech or the creative economy, but are still smart, are still important, still matter.  Notes and references from this episode: What is California? newsletter on SubstackStockton on My Mind, directed by Marc LevinInvisibilia: The Chaos Machine, by Yowei Shaw and Kia Miakka NatisseThe Deeper the Roots: A Memoir of Hope and Home, by Michael Tubbs (published Nov. 16, 2021)Anna Malaika Tubbs - Author siteCompeting Voices: A Critical History of Stockton, California, by Ronald Isetti“Oldest gurdwara in US,” by Asha Seth & Ramesh Seth, Spectrum - Tribune IndiaStockton Economic Empowerment Demonstration (SEED)SEED Data Analysis and DashboardEditorial: Now, for your local fake news…, Los Angeles TimesThe Rev.

(Encore episode) The World Health Organization has called the spread of misinformation around the coronavirus an "infodemic." So what do you do when it's somebody you love spreading the misinformation? In this episode, Maddie talks with Invisibilia's Yowei Shaw about one man's very unusual approach to correcting his family. And we hear from experts about what actually works when trying to combat misinformation.For more on how to do science communication right, check out our earlier episode How To Talk About The Coronavirus With Friends And Family.

Stockton, Calif., may represent the future of American news. The city's longtime newspaper, The Record, has lost reporters, subscribers and, therefore, power. Meanwhile a non-traditional news source, a controversial online outlet called 209 Times, has quickly become one of the most popular sources of news in town. It proudly doesn't follow most journalistic norms and brags about tanking the previous mayor's campaign. Critics say the 209 Times is filling Stockton with misinformation. Yowei Shaw, host of NPR's Invisibilia, investigates.Find all three parts of "The Chaos Machine," Invisibilia's series about 209 Times here.

Imagine a TV show with no plot, no characters, no tension... and yet, it went viral! In this episode, we have a story that questions storytelling as we know it. Plus, co-hosts Kia Miakka Natisse and Yowei Shaw take a spectacularly unspectacular train ride.

Yowei Shaw is the co-host of the NPR podcast Invisibilia. Yowei was recently announced as one of the new hosts of the popular show, and describes how that came to be and what the transition has been like so far. We also have a deep dive discussion into one of Yowei’s stories which examines dating preferences and the various ways they manifest. It gets uncomfortable at times and perhaps that's all the more reason to listen and self-examine. Please listen to NPR Invisibilia Podcast and follow Yowei on Twitter @yowei_shaw. Also like, subscribe and please donate to our Patreon! 

The man behind 209 Times is not who you'd expect. In Part 2, co-host Yowei Shaw discovers the website's surprising origin story, and ends up at the frontlines of a revolt against the mainstream media and a fight over who gets to own the truth.

Invisibilia is back! Stories that help you see the world differently, with new hosts Kia Miakka Natisse and Yowei Shaw.

Years ago, producer Yowei Shaw taught high school students how to make radio. And in one of her classes, something bizarre happened with one of her students, something that she's never been able to make sense of. In this episode, Yowei tracks down her former student and uncovers a story much stranger than she ever expected.

Twitter may be a mad circus, but there are still real people and real emotions powering that spectacle, which means important things can still be learned from it. What's the meaning behind Joshua Luna's Nerds of Color brouhaha involving (yet again) WMAF? Or the Celeste Ng and Louis Leung mess involving fake male allies and sock puppet accounts? And what does Black Twitter's drama over Briahna Joy Gray vs. Tariq Nasheed, as well as the recent outburst against DeRay McKesson in Ferguson, have to do with Asian Americans? Oxford, Teen, Mark, and Sammi try to make sense of all this (and Sammi wonders if she should indeed get a Twitter account).

From Amy Tan to Michelle Kwan to Constance Wu, there are many Asian American women who have achieved great success and are upheld as leading figures of the community. But sometimes (and especially online), Asian male support is muted or reluctant. Is it resentment at seeing women in power at all? Or does it have anything to do with the feeling that only by closely allying with whiteness can Asian women succeed at the highest levels in America, thus leaving Asian men behind? Is that what’s behind some of the online harassment of Asian women by some Asian men? In this special-format podcast, Jess poses simple but direct questions for Teen, Oxford, and Jong to answer in hopes of further illuminating the Asian male perspective.

This hour people trying their best — and sometimes failing miserably — to make a connection.Incommunicado By Yowei Shaw (The World In Words, PRI, 2015) Yowei Shaw was born in the United States and speaks virtually no Mandarin. Her grandfather is from Taiwan and speaks virtually no English. Kid talk was fine when Yowei was a kid. But now she's grown up, she's determined to have proper conversations with Yeye— before it's too late.Meet the Jawniaks By John Biewen (Radiotonic, ABC RN, 2014) John Biewen never imagined he would have any reason to visit Poland or to encounter the Polish language in any serious way. Then, in middle age, he fell in love with a Polish immigrant named Ewa. John went to Poland to meet the parents, but still he saw no reason to trouble himself learning Ewa’s mother tongue. At least, not before arriving on Polish soil.Chin-Kyll and Bo-Ok: Across the DMZ By Davey Kim (Snap Judgement, 2015) What happens when you are reunited with your North Korean sister for the first time in over five decades?This episode of Re:sound was produced by Dennis Funk.TRACKLIST Adriana Krikl, ‘Disconnect’, Snowbirds In Flight (self-released, 2015) So I’m An Islander, ‘Fastlan Reprise’, Væst Ven (self-released, 2015) Diana Fire, ‘Stop Talking’, Super Sighs (Yarn Audio, 2016) Komiku, ‘Bleu’, It’s time for adventure (Chez Monplaisir, 2016) Monplaisir, ‘In the name of loneliness’, Surtout ne pas se perdre (2011-2016) (Chez Monplaisir, 2016) See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The Philadelphia Student Union's On Blast team is honored to feature guest work from GW Radio, produced by PASS Program (Preparing for, Attaining, & Sustaining Success) at George Washington High School and JEVS Human Services (with support from Yowei Shaw & The School of Rock). Up with youth media for all! GW Radio is an original mini-podcast series produced by seniors at George Washington High School. After identifying many possible issues through a community mapping exercise, students chose the topic of education for their series because they all have a lot to say about what they want in their schools.  Students engaged in a story-storming process to identify their own stories as well as other stories that they would like to feature. In small groups, they planned, recorded, and edited eight episodes exploring various aspects of their educational experiences in Philadelphia. Throughout this series, you will hear students share stories that express both positive interactions in school as well as injustices that they demand be made right. As you tune in to GW Radio, we hope that you are inspired by the strength and vision of students in Philadelphia and challenged to take action to improve our schools.

Yowei Shaw amassed 325 pages of transcripts for her This American Life story on Eritrean hostages and the reporter who uncovered the story. And that was just the beginning of Yowei's long, grueling production process assembling the story.
