Ugh, I know, a show about manners! Pretentious, right? Not with this team! I cannot get enough of this show. It’s funny 👏🏼 it’s interesting 👏🏼 it’s thought-provoking 👏🏼 it’s timely 👏🏼 “Were You Raised By Wolves” actually helps us become better, more thoughtful human beings! Why isn’t everyone listening to this? I can’t get enough of this podcast, and I recommend it to everyone!

Owoooo
Love love love the podcast. Nick and Leah have a great chemistry together, the podcast is funny, thoughtful and lighthearted. I can’t wait to listen to it every time it pops up on my feed.
Keep up the good work guys and let’s spread some good manners in the world.

Love this podcast
It answers a lot of questions that I never thought of asking. Hosts have good synergy. However, I hate the obnoxious buzzer during Vent or Repent. Too loud and jarring especially with earbuds on. Pls replace it with something else 🙏

Best and Worst Parts of the Podcast
The best parts of this spectacular podcast are that it’s short, sweet, simple, and snappy! The rapport between Nick and Leah is to die for, and these two are definitely my dream dinner guests.
The worst part of this podcast is that it DOESN’T HAVE ENOUGH EPISODES. I audibly gasped when I reached the most recent episode and realized I have to wait weekly to be entertained by these two and— cue the tears— I just couldn’t handle it. I haven’t found a single podcast as entertaining as this one and have gone through the episodes twice now. Leah’s howl will forever resonate in my heart. 12/10 HAVE ANNOYINGLY RECOMMENDED TO ALL MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY <3

Just what we need today!
I read a review in the LA Times a few months ago and I knew that I had to listen in.
As our society manners continue to break down in the age of Karen’s and Trump tweets, I found the comfort of Nick’s etiquette obsession and Leah’s real world usage and repenting to be just the signpost that our fractured culture needed.
If, like me, you were not raised by wolves and you want to have a respite from a world of obnoxious tweets, phone obsession and a lack of what used to be accepted common courtesy, then this is a podcast to embrace.
Now, make your kids listen to it.

Obsessed!!
A wonderful Insta-friend recommended this and she was spot on. I absolutely love this podcast (yes I went back to listen to all the episodes starting from the 1st!). They discuss so many topics and I never fail to learn something new. Will be recommending to everyone!

My favorite podcast
This is my favorite podcast to listen to, high key. I started listening to this podcast in the beginning of 2020 as a way to brush up on my etiquette skills as I mature into an adult. It’s refreshing to listen to this podcast, especially during these hard times. For months, this was the only podcast I could listen to that didn’t mention COVID, as I was sick of hearing about it on the news. Nick and Leah vibe together so well. And they’ve managed to make etiquette actually fun. This podcast is great for both adults and children. As someone who was “raised by Wolves” I am thankful for any resource that can assist me in becoming a refined adult.

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,

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.
