Adorable and lovely!
Thank you for the amazing tips and comedy! You two are so sweet and funny, and just so comforting to listen to! Thank youšŸ˜€šŸ˜€šŸ˜€
Amazing podcast
Thank you, you two help make life a little easier and lighter šŸ˜
A Breath of Fresh Air!
Nick and Leah are so lovely to listen to in this crazy world! Anytime I can learn something AND laugh, I am in! Not only do they dispense excellent advice (and amuse-bouche), but if you ask a question, Nick replies promptly and kindly! They have raised the bar for my own behavior which is really they only thing I can control. Keep up the great work!
So helpful and so much fun!
Nick and Leah are great at balancing ranting with good spirits. They get our frustrations about how rude people can be, but they also share solutions and do so without increasing negativity. They make me aspire to be more positive and I couldnā€™t be more grateful for this podcast.
Cakes, Caviar, Christmas Tips
Advice so random, kind and funny you will love this show. Leah and Nick are bright stars in my week. I love the gentleness and eloquence of their replies to listener questions. Every minute brings a lightness to your day - some favorites are deep dives into etiquette topics (how to eat caviar, pot champagne and tip your waste service deliverer - Iā€™m with team Leah and run out at 6 am in my pjā€™s but Nick had a more dignified suggestion). Dive in and vent, lament and perhaps repent along with these two - you will love their wit and warmth.
The podcast we need right now!
This is my new favorite show. It hits the double whammy of being entertaining while also improving society. I had lost hope that manners matter anymore, but Nick and Leigh are keeing my hope alive. I always learn something new in each episode, especially while listening in LA traffic. Thank you for this.
ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTFUL
This podcast has helped me so much with my social skills and finding ways to be polite while maintaining my boundaries. I wish someone had taught me these things growing up. Thank you deeply for that.
A New Favorite!
I look forward to the new episodes while also listening to older shows from before I discovered Nick and Leah. Their humorous banter - whether they are in complete agreement or have politely opposing views - is always entertaining. They are helping to further the causes of good manners and thoughtfulness and that is a worthy endeavor. That they make me laugh while doing it is a bonus!
Everything I never knew I always needed
Nick and Leah are everything I never knew I always needed. In a podcast world where true crime reigns and long format interviews lurk like mafia in the night, itā€™s refreshing to find a show that just wants to ā€œmake it better, when we have to live togetherā€. I learn a lot about good manners from this show and have my gripes with humanity validated. I listen to a lot of podcasts and this is the first show I have ever been compelled to join a patreon for. ā™„ļøā™„ļøā™„ļø
So enjoyable and educational
I love listening to this podcast for Nickā€™s charm and Leahā€™s joy. As a Latina, I sometimes donā€™t know all the social expectations so I like seeing things from a different cultural perspective, although I also think itā€™d be hilarious to bring a few guests of color on the podcast and see if they agree with some social ā€œnormsā€ that may or may not be universally agreed upon. If this were a dinner plate, Iā€™d put my silverware in the position asking for the suggestion book and add that nugget. (Smile)
Incredibly Creative
I just became a Patreon as this podcast is delightfully creative. it is professionally put together and moves along at a clip that does not waste the listenerā€™s time. No drinking, bad microphones, swearing or meaningless giggling or pauses. Love it!!!
Great Podcast!
I just started listening to ā€œWere you raised by wolves?ā€ and Iā€™m so glad I did. Nick and Leigh talk through all of things you might wonder to to yourself and give such helpful advice.
I love it
I am an 8 year old and I love to hear about etiquette and this is awesome šŸ‘šŸ»ā¤ļø
Binge listen
Thanks to holiday crafting (and the quality of this podcast), I have binged nearly every episode in a ridiculously short period of time. I donā€™t know what I will do if I run out of episodes before I run out of crafting! I find the show incredibly cathartic in exactly the way that internet round-ups of people behaving badly ARENā€™T, and I identify so hard with Leahā€™s anxiety and overthinking (and curly hair!) that the whole thing is just very validating. Thank you for sharing this show with the world!
Excellent podcast, very interactive and engaging. I was definitely raised by wolves but now have some guidance as to how to pretend otherwise.
Exactly What Is Needed
Blessings to you both & all the people involved in the podcast. So very important to remind the older generations & also teach the younger ones the importance of just being a good human. Social graces are the cornerstone of community.šŸ™ā¤ļø
Love!
I could listen to Nick and Leah all day!
A great palate cleanser
This podcast is delightful! To the point, light-hearted, witty and kind. I love the episodes when they have a rant or repentance for the week. Hilarious!
Informative, relatable, and entertaining!
It isnā€™t often that my teen son and I can find common ground on interestsā€¦ but now we have this podcast! Traditional scenarios like table manners and party etiquette are addressed as well as contemporary topics like text messaging and gifting. Each episode is peppered with fun side features of ā€œamuse-boucheā€, ā€œvent or repentā€, ā€œfrom the wildernessā€ (I howl with Leah), etcā€¦ check it out!
Delightful AND informative!
These two are a joy to listen to. I appreciate how they dive right into the topic rather than subject the audience to pointless preambles. Great format! I love learning manners from Leah and Nick ā˜ŗļø
Hilarious Show
It was shown to me by a friend and I canā€™t stop. I love listening while I sleep. Highly recommend
Best podcast oh how my be a better person
I came across this podcast randomly and i am so glad that i did. It teaches you how to have manners and how to react nicely in different situations. And the hosts are so good together! Highly recommend šŸ’•
New favorite podcast!
I am obsessed with this podcast. The advice is always wonderful but the best part is gearing Nick and Leahā€™s reactions to all of the rudeness going down in the world. Itā€™s a gem!
True crimeā€¦etiquette crime that is!
Just an absolutely delightful show that has restored my faith in humanity. If you think you are the last human dedicated to never inconveniencing others, not overstepping boundaries and always sending thank you notesā€¦take heart! There are others like you, and two of them host this charming podcast!
The bright light we all need right now!
I canā€™t tell you how much joy this show brings me. It truly has it all: itā€™s hilarious, Nick and Leah have a wonderful rapport and itā€™s the perfect outlet for for outrage at lifeā€™s little (and large) indignities. I really have learned so much ā€” from obscure etiquette facts to how to handle nuanced social situations. And when you write in a question, Nick takes the time to answer! Sometimes he even asks follow up questions and does research! What really makes the show work, though, is the Nick and Leahā€™s abundant kindness and empathy ā€” itā€™s clear in the way they treat each other and their listeners. They really are going to make the world a kinder place! If I could, I would make this show a mandatory part of the school curriculum. Thank you, Nick
Best entertainment
You two are SO good together and the questions are educational, fun and refreshing! I look forward to every episode. My past fav was Stuff You Should Know and Weā€™re You Raised By Wolves is right up there on top with them now! Carry on you rascals for propriety! Iā€™ll be listening. OH, and thank you for the fruitcake recipe.šŸ¤—
Candlewicks and Peking Duck
Please do yourself a favor and listen to this extraordinarily fun and informative Podcast. I alternate between slapping my hand and patting my head and all the while Iā€™m learning and laughing.
My Good-Mood Show
This podcast always puts me in a good mood! The hosts are hilarious and thoughtful.
Funny, interesting and informative - I love this podcast!
Have you ever wonderedā€¦
My favorite questions begin with the words ā€œWould it be rude ifā€¦ā€ Inevitably, if you have to ask the question, the answer is yes! šŸ˜‰ Nick and Leah give such great takes on the many etiquette questions that come their way. I enjoy that they sometimes have different responses to the situations. They also remind me to be more generous with my responses to people (yes, THE ANNOYING people). Thanks for putting together one of my favorite podcasts.
