  • Truly Awesome Except About Tipping

    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

  • 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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 631 - Late Night Text
Q: What is the best practice for sending a work text to a colleague late at night?
The hosts recommend emailing after hours instead of texting, since email is less intrusive, creates a work-appropriate record, and can be scheduled to arrive during reasonable hours.
Episode 631 - Late Night Text
Q: How present does a host need to be when overnight guests stay for several nights, and is it appropriate to take time alone?
The hosts recommend being attentive and communicating schedules and needs in advance. A host can offer simple self-serve meals and other practical arrangements, but should not assume a guest will provide childcare or disappear without discussion.
Episode 632 - Hosting Housewarming
Q: What is the appropriate time after moving in to host a housewarming party and how far in advance should I send out texted invitations?
The hosts say to hold the party when the home is set up enough for guests to sit and gather, ideally within the first few months and generally within the first year. Invitations can go out two to three weeks ahead, or as much as eight weeks ahead when guests have busy travel schedules. Gifts are not expected, so they recommend leaving gifts off the invitation.
Episode 632 - Hosting Housewarming
Q: Can you give us all some pointers on apologies, both for when we did something wrong and for when we unknowingly messed up?
The hosts recommend acknowledging the impact, taking responsibility without centering intent, and expressing regret in a way the other person can receive. Avoid conditional phrasing such as “I'm sorry if this offended you,” and show that the experience will inform better behavior. An apology does not require the other person to forgive or reassure the person apologizing.
Episode 633 - Happy Halloween, Polite People
Q: For a couple that has been married and living together for 10 years, would it be appropriate for them to create a wedding registry?
The hosts recommend not creating or announcing a registry for a vow renewal. Couples can prepare a few suggestions to share if guests ask, including nontraditional ideas such as camping gear.
