Nick and Leah have great chemistry while sharing etiquette information in an interesting and entertaining way. I’ve re-listened to episodes and enjoyed their conversations again. I wish I had a question for them so I could get their input.

How rude of this etiquette podcast to be SO captivating!
Thanks to the exceedingly infectious charm of Nick & Leah, I am less well-rested, because since discovering their podcast, I ended up bingeing the episodes so quickly, that I have finished the entire WYRBW catalogue in a matter of weeks. The delight that brought me was then replaced by sadness at having to wait a week for new episodes, so of course I’m now a Patreon, going through all of those back posts. [And by the way, if you’re not already a WYRBW Patreon, getting to see the visual of Leah’s endearing howling is worth the price of admission on its own.] So be warned: this podcast is super informative [in a fun, Schoolhouse Rocks kind of way, not in a boring way] and hilarious [you are going to want to be brunch buddies with Nick & Leah], but it is also highly addictive.

My new favorite podcast!
Love the hosts entertaining yet informative take on etiquette questions submitted by listeners. When so much of the world seems to relish people behaving badly, we can at least make the choice to make it a nicer place to be by being polite!

My Favorite Podcast!!!
I came upon this podcast as I was looking for some entertaining podcasts while my husband and I were on a long road trip. We both absolutely love listening to the advice and the hosts. This podcast informs and entertains at the same time. Often there are some laughs out loud!!! I wish I could meet and have lunch with Nick and Leah as they are just endearing! They really try to make the world a better place by simply promoting good manners. You need to listen to this podcast to understand how we can all make kindness and consideration an easy priority. I highly recommend this podcast to everyone!!

So upbeat and fun
This is the show I listen to when I need reminding the humans can be civilized, polite, kind, upbeat and delightful. Nick and Leah have wonderful, doable solutions to the confounding things we confront in our relationships with others. I always feel better about others when I listen. A dose of humor and a big swig of “let’s be grown ups” in every episode.

Keep up the Great Work!
Nick and Leah give great advice for everyday situations and some not so common situations, but I love it all! They are great at what they do and enjoy listening every week.

Just FUN and relaxing
No politics, no profanity, just fun. Great interaction between host and hostess. They respond to listeners emails asking for help on etiquette and “good manners” in everyday situations. It’s relaxing and funny

Informative and Entertaining
I love this show! It is hard for me to find a podcast I can get into. Once I find one though I’m usually hooked, and this is no exception. It is the perfect blend of informative and entertaining. Leah and Nick are funny and delightful and the episodes are to the point. I appreciate the editing and the time/research that goes into scripting each one. Keep up the good work Leah and Nick!

Who knew etiquette could be fun?
I love this dishy (but ever-so-polite) chat about manners in contemporary culture! Always enlightening even when you, of course, know which fork to use. The humorous commentary adds engaging context and I am addicted!

Saving Society One Show at a Time
If only we all could be kind and polite in the ways Nick and Leah suggest. I love their modern take on age old social dilemmas. The continually impress with their down to earth and smart answers. Can’t wait for every episode!

My weekly kindness reminder
I am a grumpy impatient person, that being said I have learned so much from Nick and Leah that I am more polite and tolerant of stupid people.
WYRBW is my weekly dose of good manners and being civil. The podcast has a weekly structure with new topics each week on the customs and practices of good etiquette.
It is a fun light hearted podcast which I have enjoyed each week.

my new favorite podcast
Nick and Leah are delightful! Their advice is witty, thoughtful and so practical. I feel myself becoming more gracious with each listen, and I usually laugh out loud at least once during each episode.

Lots of fun
A delightful podcast that I look forward to each week. I find the entertainment factor equally as important as their insightful tips.

A lovely reminder that people kind (and should!) be thoughtful
I don’t often leave reviews even for podcasts I love — which, reflecting now, is probably poor etiquette. (This week, I’d be more repent than vent!) In a world where everyone is very busy and sometimes it seems as if no one has manners, it’s refreshing to listen to Leah and Nick. This is the podcast equivalent of a stranger holding open a door for you — it just brightens your day!

Such a fun, fresh, and helpful podcast
Nick and Leah are so down to earth and really make me believe in humanity lol! They are very entertaining and wise. I love the scenarios they go through on each episode. I always learn something new!

I love this show
I love to listen to this show and laugh along to the jokes. The community you have created with your show means a lot to me. On of my favorite parts of the show are cordials of kindness and, questions from the wilderness.

Antidote for a rude word
Oh my goodness! Where to begin with the praises I want to heap upon the fabulous hosts of this binge-worthy podcast. First off: this is fun, funny, addictive, educational, smart, and sassy. This is the rain in my desert. The oxygen in my cultural outer space. This is seriously soul-reviving funniness, and also legitimately helpful. Boom! With wit, empathy and humor this show has helped me to recalibrate my own manners, and has redeemed me in my displeasure with human behavior. People can be FSR (for sure rude!) and now I don’t feel quite so alone in my shock and horror.
Thank you Nick and Leah for helping us all to be better people, and for letting us share a collective laugh (or groan) at all of the crazy rudeness in the world. I believe that, in addition to feeling vindicated for all the nonsense I have put up with over the years, I now have better boundaries and more confidence after binging this podcast. I hope to never be the subject of one of your letter-writers’ rants!
This podcast is one of my favorites. It’s definitely in my top 5. Wonderful find. Love it!

Refreshing!
Finally!!! This podcast feels like an invite to an exclusive tea party, but gives a fresh perspective on manners and being kind and considerate. With a little history peppered in these cheeky hosts really deliver entertainment. Can’t recommend it enough.

So Engaging
This show is a bit problematically addictive for me, and the most engaging podcast I've ever listened to. On the plus side, I'm getting a lot done around the house because I keep needing "just one more" episode, and it's an ideal pairing with deep cleaning. I've learned a lot (love the deep dives!), gotten a lot of validation, and just related so much on a human level. It's kept my spirits high during a very busy and somewhat stressful time. Safety Warning: Do not consume any liquid during episode 32. You will have sudden bursts of wild laughter and it may happen as you're swallowing and cause choking.

Fun, Funny, and Informative
Were You Raised by Wolves is the podcast that solves my problem of not wanting to get out of bed on Monday morning. Nick and Leah have given me thoughtful answers to my own questions, and answer questions I never knew I needed answers to! They make etiquette approachable, create a safe place to vent, and provide a cultural education about places/times I am less familiar with. So grateful to this podcast for being a bright spot to every week.

Funny & Informative!
If you love watching people at the airport, you will love this podcast. The hosts are fun and informative, and I enjoy listening to all the sticky situations people get into and how they might politely (and directly) get themselves out. This is a new favorite for me - I highly recommend!

Helpful & Funny
My 9-year-old daughter and I have such a good time listening to this podcast when we are in the car together (and sometimes at home, while we eat dinner). Nick and Leah truly make manners and having empathy for others a fun and funny learning experience! Thank you!

Scratches an itch I didn’t know I had
This show is the perfect combination of humor, information, and secondhand voyeurism (who doesn’t love hearing about other peoples’ social drama?). I love it. I didn’t think I’d love a show about manners and etiquette, but it’s honestly so interesting and entertaining that I am truly addicted. I wish I could attend a dinner party with Nick and Leah!
