Brian Can't Stop Fact-Checking His Mother-In-Law
About this episode
Today we bring you an episode from Proxy, the podcast that investigates your niche emotional conundrums. Listeners bring host Yowei Shaw the kinds of problems that don’t have easy answers, and then Yowei connects them with a stranger with relevant life experience, in the hope that they can help.
In this episode, Yowei talks with her friend, journalist Brian Reed, who spends his professional life tracking down and confirming facts. The problem is… he can’t stop fact-checking his mother-in-law, even though he knows she has Alzheimer’s.
If you like what you hear, you can find more episodes of Proxy wherever you listen.
