Great podcast!
I just love this show! A wide variety of topics and situations are discussed. Manners, etiquette and being mindful of the feelings of other people have never been more important!

Even if the title didn’t make me laugh ... .
I don’t listen to every episode of this podcast just because the title makes me LOL. I listen because it is both fun and informative. I was raised to be polite and tried to pass that on to my daughter. She knows I will wave in thanks if a car’s driver lets me change lanes in front of them (nobody seems to do that anymore) ... or will say “ excuse me” when burping in an empty room. What I don’t do as well is handle my feelings when others behave as if wolves raised them. This is where Nick’s advice comes in so handy because he has such a light touch. He makes the medicine go down with a spoonful of sugar. Reader letters are answered with thoughtfulness and in good humor and Nick and Leah play off each other nicely. Keep dispensing advice, you two, and stay safe.

A breath of fresh air!
I love hearing Nick and Leah’s commentary and advice on etiquette issues. They manage to come across as simultaneously animated, informative, entertaining, and kind. In contrast to other podcasts that dwell on the (abundant) miseries of the world, Were You Raised By Wolves? focuses on the little and big ways we can maintain civility and kindness. Bravo!

Fun, entertaining, friendly and insightful!
I started listening to WRYBW during the 2020 global pandemic. I would’ve loved this at any time, but especially right now, having a couple extra friendly voices in my world talking about things that befuddle, vex or “grind my gears” is a welcome diversion. The show is a unique mix of entertaining and educational, and both the hosts restore my faith in the goodness of humanity. I also take a lot of real life lessons from the episodes. Thank you Leah and Nick!

Absolutely love it!
The hosts are thoughtful, interesting and always entertaining. I love the combination of everyday and obscure topics and the easy repartee and obvious friendship between Leah and Nick. I became a Patreon member and now get to look forward to an extra shot of WYRBW during the week… Yay! Many thanks for bringing a little extra sunshine into my day and always making me laugh.

Fabulous & entertaining!
This well-paced podcast is a joy every week! Nick is like a true friend politely clueing you in to potential faux pas, and Leah is a fabulous compliment! They have good chemistry, and stay on topic, with little personal tidbits, (not derailing the whole show on an off-topic rant!). If you are not the least bit interested in etiquette, you will still love this fun show!
It’s often the highlight of my week,

Great show!
Who knew a podcast about etiquette could be so entertaining. This show is lots of fun and a lovely distraction from the depressing news everyday. Thank you!

Making my nana proud
I ADORE this podcast. I feel as though I am learning so much, from tiny but deep dives into very specific etiquette situations to thoughtful advice on common situations to validation of my feelings about etiquette crimes. My nana would be very pleased to know I regularly spend time improving my politeness skills. Plus, the relationship and fondness between the hosts comes through so clearly and is just fun to listen to. Thanks, y’all!

Clever, Kind, and Funny
I’ve spent so long in quarantine that I’ve almost forgotten about etiquette quandaries! This podcast has made me laugh and cringe at etiquette crimes. Thank you to Nick and Leah!

Love it!
I love so much about this podcast. Especially the way the hosts try to figure out what etiquette should be in today’s world (not just Miss Manner’s world). Funny, thought-provoking and informative.

So polite!
I’m a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and I really appreciate you looking into what we prefer to be called! Depending on who I’m with and how casual I feel like being, I might call myself Mormon if they already know that I believe in Christ and am Christian. To a stranger, I would give the full title, unless they used Mormon first. Than I would make a casual note about it being a nickname, make sure they know our true name, and not worry about it after that.

Lovely
This podcast is everything I needed and wanted it to be! I often find myself asking “who raised you?”, so this is excellent affirmation that I’m not crazy.

LOVE!
Seriously love, love, love your show! My anxiety is at an all time low knowing the appropriate mannerisms and etiquette to tackle so many situations! Thank you for keeping me company and making me laugh out load with so many relatable situations!

Love this podcast!
I’m not exactly sure how I found this podcast, perhaps the wonderful algorithm gods at Apple led me to it. Whatever the reason, Nick and Leah keep me entertained and are the only deviation from my normal fare of news, business and similarly dry topics. I always end up with a hearty chuckle or the occasional belly laugh. Thank you! (Lisa in DC 😊)

Love your show
Good every time. One note: Leah, could you consider that maybe you were right the first time, as a child, about lobsters? Think of our vast cruelty when we tear them apart after tying them up in captivity. Remember how smart they are and how long they live without us. Haven’t we done enough damage?

Podcast Excellence!
This show is such a breath of fresh air! Especially during such uncertain and unfamiliar times. I love that the format is consistent and I come away with new information after every episode! Many thanks to Nick and Leah! 💛

Thank you, Leah and Nick
As a stay at home mom of two little boys, my brain is often thirsty for something other than Spiderman and poop jokes (though both are fun!). I look forward to Monday mornings because I listen to your podcast before diving into another week of child rearing. I learn a little something and always enjoy the banter. Leah and Nick, I think you are both lovely! Thanks for the podcast and keep them coming!

You need this
I never miss an episode. After having been raised by wolves myself I am trying to be a better example for my kids and not embarrass myself and others.
They give you all the info you need in a fun format.

A great way to start your week!
I will start by saying I love this podcast and you will too! The upbeat and fun way etiquette is presented will keep you coming back each week. Nick is so well researched you’ll learn international etiquette too. I personally adore the vent or repent segment. I love to vent about poor behavior as a strict rule follower!

Incisive + Charming Podcast
I LOVE this podcast. I would have expected an etiquette podcast to be uptight and stuffy but this one makes you feel warm and fuzzy. It’s funny and honest and Nick and Leah perfectly balance each other. And who knew there was a proper way to eat grapes or that phone flashlights in restaurants could spark such heated debate? Well worth the listen!!
