Another hit

I love the playful banter and helpful commentary from the hosts! I think it’s an interesting podcast, super cool to learn about the history of “politeness” and manners. It’s particularly helpful that they spend time in each episode to go over common questions related to said concept. 10/10, would recommend.

Lighthearted fun with etiquette

These folks make learning about how to behave towards our fellow humans feel practical and fun. Don’t miss out!

Amazing podcast!!

I spend multiple hours a day listening to a vast array of podcast between my commute to work and other errands and I have to say this is a MUST if you need some great entertainment in podcast form for your day!
