  • Good podcast with a few annoyances

    Generally enjoy the questions and advice! Sometimes Lizzie talks until she runs out of breath, which I find annoying but not a huge deal. Sometimes the hosts are a little too PC - it seems like they don’t want to get controversial, which is understandable, but their commentary can feel sanitized sometimes. Also want to note that the transitions between questions have always bothered me - they are annoying and often long and I skip 15-30 seconds ahead every time.

  • Truly Awesome

    Awesome Etiquette is definitely one of my favorite podcasts and has been for several years. Lizzie and Dan are lovely individuals with two very different but complementary personalities. There are rare moments I find myself disagreeing with a stance they take or advice they dispense—but the moments are so rare that I can count them on one hand in the span of the 300+ episodes I have listened to. Their advice is intelligent, practical, thoughtful, and as timeless as etiquette advice can be. I fee... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 618 - Inedible Dinner Party
Q: What should you do if friends repeatedly invite you to dinners that are barely edible?
Focus on preserving the relationship, offer to contribute food, suggest non-food activities, and communicate boundaries calmly to maintain the friendship without compromising comfort.
Episode 617 - Rather Not Hug
Q: How can I deflect unwanted affection from strangers without seeming rude?
Offer a polite, clear boundary, use a smile and a friendly tone, and pivot to a non-physical greeting while affirming the other person's goodwill.
Episode 619 - Boss Cleanup Aisle Seven
Q: What should be the etiquette around gifts at a housewarming party?
Gifts are optional and not the focus of the event; avoid registries as they may imply expectations, and emphasize the hosting and social aspect of welcoming the new home.
Episode 619 - Boss Cleanup Aisle Seven
Q: What is the appropriate approach if a parent is unhappy with a playdate or movie choice affecting their child?
Lead with self-reflection, acknowledge emotions, discuss boundaries with the other parent, and work toward a shared understanding to protect the children's well-being without blaming the other family.
Episode 619 - Boss Cleanup Aisle Seven
Q: How should you handle being asked to clean up after your boss in a work setting?
Identify the boundary between professional tasks and personal favors, seek clarity on your job description, and consider a calm conversation with management to define what is expected and appropriate, using a measured approach rather than reacting emotionally.
