Rate ShowArtichokes and gift opening parties
First of all, I enjoy listening to this podcast so much. I often laugh out loud as Iām listening. I just finished the episode about artichokes and also recently finished watching the episode of the untouchables starring Robert Stack on YouTube called the artichoke King. Itās based on the story you told. Itās so interesting.
In regard to the wedding gift opening party, we actually did that. I got married in 1989, moved from the Midwest to the north east, and my husbandās family insisted that this was the thing to do. They did wait until we return from the honeymoon but we were expected to invite his whole family over, host them, serve lunch, and open our gifts in front of them. I do not recommend it. It was uncomfortable to open the gifts and react with a crowd in front of us and we didnāt get to take the time to really enjoy each gift, and think about the people who gave them to us. We just had to get through them all in one sitting. I was young and naĆÆve, and in a strange land. Ha ha.

Howling !
This is such a phenomenal podcast. I started listening in late 22. Well, I just completed my 11th trek across the US and my partner and I binged about 90 episodes during our 6 day drive - we completed all episodes.
This pod and the hosts are so engaging that by the end we were still singing & seat-dancing along to the theme, laughing, screaming and howling along!
I will not get the image of Nick suggesting eating cotton candy on a zoom or Leah saying āWhat is happening!?!?ā out of my head. Thanks times a million! XO!! JOE

The very best podcast out there
I have recently binge-listened to the entire 200+ episodes of this show! I have never been a podcast person, but Nick and Leah have fully converted me. I love the blend of knowledge and humor and have recommended this show to anyone Iāve talked to in the past month or so. I love that itās upbeat and a great distraction from everyday stressors. I cannot recommend this show enough!

Fun and so needed
Love that youāre straight up honest about etiquette. So many basic manners are missed opportunities for building trust. Your wit and playful approach is a joy to listen to.

Good ear company
Short of a handwritten thank you note, Iāll write this review. Iāve enjoyed many an episode while going for a walk, doing chores, or riding the subway. Plus it makes for a great soother on sick days. Keep the banter, history/culture lessons and advice coming!

A Most Winsome Podcast
The world would be a much kinder place if we all listened to this winsome podcast and followed the advice of Nick and Leah. After the last few years Iād forgotten some of these etiquette rules and love having this refresher. These two are thoughtful, clever, FUN and just a joy to listen to on a Monday morning.

Light, charming, and informative
RBW is exactly what I want to listen toā¦ it brings up food for thought about many relatable (and some BONKERS) etiquette situations and makes me want to talk about each scenario with a friend. The hosts are oh so likableā¦ I could listen for hours!

A Lifesaver!
I donāt 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!

Everything you want in a podcast!
Nick and Leah are SO fun and have such great tips to share. They are comical, practical, and educational. I love listening to their take on all things etiquette. My sister shared this podcast with me and Iāve sent it to all my friends! Itās way too easy to binge. I think āwhat would Nick and Leah do?ā roughly 10 times a day.

Must listen
Wow! I binged the whole series in about 3 weeks. No one makes etiquette more entertaining or engaging than Nick & Leah
You know when you finish a great book/show/podcast and think, āman, I want more like this,ā and struggle to find it? THIS IS IT.

Best etiquette podcast ever!
I absolutely love your podcast, I can truly say Iāve learned so many useful things listening to you both. One example, my local coffee shop has a sign out front āFika timeā I never knew what it meant until now!!

Immaculate in every way possible
This is the epitome of podcasts. Every episode is wonderfully crafted and clearly Nick and Leah care so much about their listeners and the quality of this incredible podcast. Thanks for providing a great experience with great banter and wit while also being informative.

Keeps on getting better!
Move over āMrs. Mannersā. The 1-2 Punch that is the āBonnema-Leightonā Powerhouse is an absolute delight. And they say etiquette is dead.

Delightful!
Love this podcast! Nick and Leah are perfect counterparts. The podcast balances specific etiquette rules (where do you put your hands when dining in France?) with the every day, practical advice we should all follow (stop talking in elevators, please!). WYRBW is a delightful yet informative show that I look forward to each week.

So excited to find your podcast!
I have just found your podcast, and have probably listened to 50 episodes in the last 2 weeks. Itās so rare for a podcast to be clean, entertaining, and educational all at the same time! In a society that is slowly disintegrating, you are a shining light of morality and decency. Continue the great work! Thank you!

Hi I love this
Hi! I love your podcast! I listen to it every night, and it is beautiful. A master peace of craftsmanship, and not even Picasso could produce a better wrk of art. But please, please, let Leah read the questions for just one episode. Love your show, thank you.

My favorite podcast
This is my favorite podcast, and therefore makes Mondays my favorite day of the week. Nick and Leah solve every problem with humor and panache, and they are delightful, engaging and just the right amount of sassy. I am stressed about the day in the future when Iāve listened to every episode and have no more in reserve. Thank you Nick and Leah, for making the world a brighter place.

Hilarious and Informative
I look forward to this podcast every week. Not only are Nick and Leah hysterical together, but I learn a lot as well! As a fellow rule-follower, I love sharing in their determination to know the proper way to handle almost every social situation, and their horror at the bad behavior their listeners write in about. An absolute delight!
