  • The best part of Monday

    This podcast is the perfect blend of informative and entertaining.

    These host are just freaking hilarious together. If I sat near them at brunch I’d forget to drink my mimosa because I’d be listening to them too intently. And I freakin’ love mimosas.

  • Want to become a better human? I’ve got the podcast for you!

    I’ve been a loyal listener for years now, and I’m finally doing my homework. WYRBW is one of my favorite podcasts, I listen to it every Monday. It’s thoughtful, funny, cathartic and genuinely helpful. Nick and Leah are proof that good etiquette can still be current and not stuffy or outdated. They’re making the world a better place, one etiquette crime at a time.
