  • Amazing! This is a must.

    Update!

    I love this podcast, and I’ve been listening to it for years. I’m only 14 but I use a lot of these tips they give. Nick and Leah are a perfect way to start the week, especially with the puns (I usually can’t stand puns but I can handle Leah’s) it just brightens my day and makes it so much better. (One more update-Leah I don’t drive yet and the headlights vent…..it hit home…it really is a problem)

  • Ummmm

    At first this felt like a podcast that got me. Move over as you walk on the sidewalk or have your order ready when it’s time. But I got a little bothered recently when listening to how to alienate people so they don’t talk to you and why children shouldn’t blow bubbles in a park? Really? And this is just some of the content that is unkind. Isn’t manners and etiquette about kindness? This podcast has been entertaining at times but not about kindness in a world that really needs it right now.

  • Love Leah

    I really enjoy this podcast. However I find it ironic that Nick is positioned as the expert but often presents himself as the antithesis of etiquette - unpleasant, snickeringly condescending and sometimes outright rude. On the other hand, Leah comes across as the epitome of etiquette - gracious, considerate, thoughtful and kind. So listen to Nick for the technicalities of etiquette but emulate Leah on the execution.

  • Perfection

    I just turned 11, but this is the perfect podcast. Every Monday I listen to this podcast after school. I always get a laugh out of this podcast. Whenever I have free time I love to bring back an old episode. Thank you so much, Nick and Leah! I hope you keep releasing new episodes for many years.

Second Helpings: Eating Baguettes in France, Spitting Wine at Tastings, Returning Gifts to Guests, and More
Q: What is the recommended approach to guests bringing wine that the hosts don't plan to drink, and the idea of returning gifts?
Do not send guests home with their own wine; gifts should be graciously accepted and kept for future use or repurposed (e.g., sangria, cooking), and if possible steer guests toward different types of gifts to avoid the pressure of returning items.

Q: What should the sister in the wedding dilemma do to handle potential date conflicts with the in-laws and travel considerations?
Approach the conversation calmly, acknowledging there are factors like potential labor, travel, and timing, and suggest coordinating with the fiance to talk to the in-laws about a practical plan, possibly adjusting expectations or timing, while emphasizing the desire for everyone to feel happy and included.
