  • 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

  • Dismal

    This podcast is neither wine nor cheese. It has not gotten better with age. In fact, it’s gotten worse. There’s so little content provided that it’s actually ridiculous. I’ve been a listener for years but I’ve gotten to a point where I simply can’t tolerate it anymore. All the cackling, the cartoonish Interludes, the overextended intro, the almost weekly, “I could talk about this forever, Cuz, step in and help me out here!” is the WORST example of good etiquette.
