This is one of those podcasts were listening to it, you feel as though you are sitting at a table with some friends having a lively discussion. I was definitely raised by wolves - we ate ice cream from the container, never waited for everyone to sit down to start eating, and many more atrocities Ms Manners would be aghast at. While I am hardly reverent to manners now, this podcast brings levity and entertainment to my workday. And I do at least learn what I was supposed to be doing all along, even if I don’t act on it ;) Thanks Leah and Nick!

This is a GREAT podcast!
I have not historically been a podcast person, but one of my resolutions for 2021 waste try some out instead of just playing the same music over and over. I am SO glad I started this one. Nick and Leah and funny and nice to listen to, and I’ve also learned a lot. I finish every episode just feeling happy. And sometimes snarky - in a good way. I burned through all their recent episodes while cooking in the kitchen or walking around town, so I’m now working through older ones, and I hope I never run out.

Be a better person by listening to this podcast!
Nick and Leah give absolutely fantastic advice on how to navigate tricky situations while being kind, courteous, and still looking out for yourself. It is such a delight to hear new episodes every week!

I absolutely LOVE this podcast, and the hosts are perfect!
This is some awesome, and welcomingly wholesome, entertainment wrapped into an educational club sandwich of delight! Nick and Leah have a pretty great friendship, and they present these episodes with such great energy. I absolutely adore all of their “Oh!”s (there are so many! Haha) that they each vocalize in response to some surprising bit of information or opinion, etc. It’s a thoroughly great time! I am currently binging from the beginning, and it just brightens my day! When my kids are a bit older, I plan to have this podcast as a part of their homeschooling curriculum! (Social studies! It counts!!)

lighthearted and you learn stuff!
Just a really sweet, thoughtful podcast about navigating manners and socializing that doesn't beat you over the head with yelling and raging.
Nick and Leah are great together.
And yeah, you learn stuff! Like how to eat from a cheese plate!
And hopefully you'll learn that you fall on the right sidfe of the manners line!

One of the BEST podcasts out there
Each week I’m so excited to hear the fresh release only to be sad when it’s over! Just can’t get enough! Clutch my pearls! I laugh out loud and most often totally agree with the answers given ... although that’s not to say I haven’t learned new things!!! Often I’m shocked at the audacity of some people! Thanks for standing up for doing what’s right and kind! If you need something positive and encouraging in these dark days... listen! You’ll be so glad you did!

I am in love with Nick and Leah!!
This show is SO delightful. I just marathoned all the episodes and CANNOT WAIT for the next one. More, please!! (I'll write you a hand-written thank you note!) Truly a great show!!

Opera episode, etc.
Working my way to the earlier episodes, back from the top. Enjoying them all, because every episode is brilliant. But WHY is the "number of ratings" STUCK at 645? That is ABSOLUTELY impossible. Over the last 3 months, it must have reached 10,000 👍🏼, and yet -- the needle never moves! PLEASE check that out, O techy person who accesses the Apple Podcasts infrastructure (substructure? Superstructure?) ! Seriously: verify!!!

This is so good
I love Nick and Leah. Everyone needs to listen to this podcast so no one has to wonder if they were raised by wolves.

Triple Cream French Brie
My desert island cheese is a triple cream French brie! I’m only 4 binge episodes in but this is my new favorite. Awfully hard to listen while running - do not recommend doing this for fear of laughter tripping you up. Too many laughs. I often use the phrase “were you raised by wolves?”, especially when talking to my roommates about the brand new dish towels that end up crumpled up and wet on the opposite side of the kitchen instead of hung back nicely where they found them. This show validates so many thoughts-how self satisfying!

A Lifesaver!
I don’t remember how I found this podcast but, OMG, I am so glad I did! After a year full of nothing but bad news and dire predictions, this thirtyish minute break in my day has been a lifesaver! My only concern now is what will I do when I am caught up with all the back episodes and only have one a week to depend on! Maybe the world will have calmed down by then. Thank you for this silly and yet sophisticated respite of entertaining information! Proud to be a wild pup!

Both helpful and hilarious! 💯🛠😆❤️
Perfect combination of utility and entertainment! I can relate so much to having these grievances/questions and am glad that I now have a resource for the answers. Keep it up, Nick and Leah!

Nick and Leah are a light in my life
I’ve been binging this podcast for a few weeks now and I just love the levity that Nick and Leah bring to a lot of really tough situations. They take me out of every day stresses, and teach me things I had no idea I didn’t know. They have such a warm, bright friendship and you can tell there is real affection there. Absolutely tops in terms of podcast hosts, and Nick replied to a question I sent in and was absolutely lovely. He actually wrote the email, no form letter or anything like that. I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised, this is the man that lives and dies by written thank you notes. He had no way of knowing my life is incredibly stressful right now, and that email nearly brought me to tears. It was so kind. Thank you guys! Keep it up, I am always looking forward to your new episodes.

Very entertaining
This is one of my favorite podcasts. Great to have on while you cook, drive across town, etc. I love hearing all of the crazy predicaments other listeners get in. It’s a strange world sometimes! Nick and Leah give good advice and their reactions are great. Nick is the etiquette expert, while Leah is all of us who hate awkwardness/confrontation and just want there to be peace. They balance each other perfectly. And I can’t resist singing along to the theme song! Would definitely recommend.

You tube video etiquette
Thank you for touching on my admittedly anal question/rant. And to clarify...Yes (thank you Nick!) I did mean in person. As in- live/in real time/face to face. Xox

My Favorite
These two make me laugh out loud. They are both fabulous. Also, Leah has the best laugh EVER and I love that Nick likes to write personal notes. Follow them (even if it’s off a cliff!)!

Super!
The advice that I’ve received from Nick and Leah has directly influenced on my life in a positive way on several occasions! I’m so grateful to have their help when negotiating tricky social situations. Helpful and fun. Bravo!

So funny and informative!
Nick and Leah are a perfect podcast pair - Nick as the expert and Leah as the funny girl who reacts to each topic from her down-to-earth and casual perspective. You're bound to learn something about the proper way to partake from a cheese tray and how to behave in social settings that may have you wondering if you're about to commit a faux pas. I like that there is humor without meanness in the discussions.

I recommend this to EVERYONE
I truly ADORE you both and this podcast. I have so many laughs and look forward to a new episode every week.
Nick and Leah are absolute delights and they bring me so much joy!!
Island Cheese: Drunken Goat Cheese - highly recommend that as well.
PS. Nick, you and I share the same washer/dryer fantasy.

I look forward to listening every week
Nick and Leah, thank you for this delightful, funny, and educational podcast. I have learned so much, and have had such fun listening.
My desert island cheese is Cabot extra sharp cheddar. I lived on an actual island for a few months, and this was the cheese I missed the most!
Also, even though I do not live in NYC, I find the city-specific etiquette fascinating!

Funny and Fresh
This is my favorite podcast. Among the craziness that is 2020 and beyond, I am delighted every week when I get to escape my stress for a few minutes, and listen to the hilarious etiquette crimes others encounter. Any podcast that gets to use the word “egregious” multiple times, is worth a listen.
If you have been wronged, and are hesitant about submitting a question, don’t be! Nick and Leah can help! They are kind, considerate, knowledgeable, and professional. And did I mention funny!?
It’s for the good of society that we all learn the correct ways to conduct ourselves. We can all stand to be a little more polite and considerate of other.

Everyone could benefit from listening to this show
As a person who would consider herself socially aware and polite, I've already learned so much. This show is simultaneously informative and cathartic, and Nick and Leah have the perfect host dynamic. My new favorite podcast!
