  • Proxy x Heavyweight

    Proxy x Heavyweight
    Nov 18 2025

    This week, we're presenting an episode of one of our favorite podcasts.

    Heavyweight, hosted by Jonathan Goldstein, creates space for difficult conversations and resolving long-standing regrets and unanswered questions. Balancing humor and empathy, host Jonathan Goldstein helps his subjects pinpoint the moment things went wrong and joins them on a quest to make them right.

    This episode is about Anita, who, on her flight, to emigrate from Italy in 1959, was tasked with babysitting a two-year-old boy being brought to the US for adoption. During the flight, Anita fell in love with the child, and for the rest of her life, she wondered what became of him.

    Find Heavyweight wherever you get your podcasts.
