Editors’ Notes: “I want to give everybody the tools to solve their own etiquette problems,” says Nick Leighton, cohost and producer of Were You Raised by Wolves?, a weekly podcast in which he and cohost Leah Bonnema look into the many sticky social situations we all face. “With each of the questions that we get, from the bonkers to the ordinary, I always try to take a step back and ask, ‘What are ... more

I have listened to all 388 episodes and they just keep getting better. The interactions between Nick and Leah are the best and usually have me laughing every week. I’m secretly happy that all the etiquette problems of the world have not been solved yet. Otherwise we wouldn’t have any episode every week.
I get so excited when there’s a new episode of WYRBW! Every week I listen to the new one plus one or two from back when I hadn’t yet found Nick and Leah, and was still stumbling around in the darkness. Seriously, they are on a very short list of famous people I would actually like to meet one day.
Historically, I’ve found driving a drag, but since a friend put me onto Were You Raised by Wolves, I sometimes find myself leaving home early so I can get in a whole episode or three. Nick and Leah offer the perfect blend of light and funny with genuine substance, and I’ve found my personal boundaries improving by absorption - last week I legit responded to a request with “Thanks so much but that won’t be possible,” with ne’er a second thought. Brilliant, thanks so much!
I don’t know how I stumbled across this show, but I’m so thrilled that I did! Leah and Nick have such great repartee—witty, warm, genuine (and occasionally a bit catty, which I also adore)! The show makes me laugh, gasp, and occasionally tear up. Since I just recently discovered it, I’m currently bingeing the back catalogue, and it’s bringing me such joy! It’s like having out with a couple of friends.
