So funny and informative!
Nick and Leah are a perfect podcast pair - Nick as the expert and Leah as the funny girl who reacts to each topic from her down-to-earth and casual perspective. You're bound to learn something about the proper way to partake from a cheese tray and how to behave in social settings that may have you wondering if you're about to commit a faux pas. I like that there is humor without meanness in the discussions.

I recommend this to EVERYONE
I truly ADORE you both and this podcast. I have so many laughs and look forward to a new episode every week. Nick and Leah are absolute delights and they bring me so much joy!! Island Cheese: Drunken Goat Cheese - highly recommend that as well. PS. Nick, you and I share the same washer/dryer fantasy.

I look forward to listening every week
Nick and Leah, thank you for this delightful, funny, and educational podcast. I have learned so much, and have had such fun listening. My desert island cheese is Cabot extra sharp cheddar. I lived on an actual island for a few months, and this was the cheese I missed the most! Also, even though I do not live in NYC, I find the city-specific etiquette fascinating!

Funny and Fresh
This is my favorite podcast. Among the craziness that is 2020 and beyond, I am delighted every week when I get to escape my stress for a few minutes, and listen to the hilarious etiquette crimes others encounter. Any podcast that gets to use the word “egregious” multiple times, is worth a listen. If you have been wronged, and are hesitant about submitting a question, don’t be! Nick and Leah can help! They are kind, considerate, knowledgeable, and professional. And did I mention funny!? It’s for the good of society that we all learn the correct ways to conduct ourselves. We can all stand to be a little more polite and considerate of other.

Everyone could benefit from listening to this show
As a person who would consider herself socially aware and polite, I've already learned so much. This show is simultaneously informative and cathartic, and Nick and Leah have the perfect host dynamic. My new favorite podcast!

Shining Point of the Week!
I look forward to my Monday's because a new episode is released. Funny, poignant, and educational.

Wonderful!
Terrific podcast. Great chemistry between the hosts, plenty of humor, and good advice on manners. I love this podcast.

Hilarious and educational, all in one
My favorite podcast! If everyone listened to this show and heeded their advice, the world would be a better place. In the meantime, this can bring you some joy and relief, knowing there are others also suffering from the accidental rudeness of strangers and loved ones alike everywhere in the world.

Great show!
This was an unexpected find for me- I don’t even remember how I learned about the show. But I’m so happy I did! I love both the hosts, and I also love that it’s not incessant banter like many other shows. You can see their personalities but they get right to the topics. Always a fun and informative listen!

Get ready to be educated
Nick and Leah are prepared to answer any etiquette query thrown at them. All while being effortlessly charming and fun. They helped me with my dream catcher conundrum and I couldn’t be more thankful.

Confused? Don’t be!
Don’t know how to act in public? It’s ok! Nick and Leah will navigate you through the maze of etiquette. These two crack me UP! This is my new favorite podcast!

A great show on etiquette and good life tips.
The hosts warm my heart and appreciate their chemistry as they field questions regarding etiquette and manners. I have used their examples in real life situations with great results, too.

Fantastic show alert!
Leah and Nick are a lovely pair of proponents of good manners. We need them to guide us towards a world where bad behavior is a distant memory. Listen to this podcast and reap the rewards.

My new favorite podcast!
I love the witty banter and funny exchanges of these fantastic hosts. I now look forward to Mondays because that’s when new episodes drop!

Fun and educational podcast!
Both host’s are very entertaining, and provide good advice (as well as validate complaints that so many have regarding rude people). I like learning things I didn’t know before (such as “don’t say ‘congratulations’ to a bride) and feeling more prepared for any awkward situation that may arise.

At first I was intimidated ...
But Nick’s no-nonsense directives tempered by Leah’s relatability assured me that I too, could be a contributing member of civil society. I thank them for being the shining beacons of light guiding me through, past and beyond the undergrowth of cringeworthy behaviours that eclipse my path through the forest of life.

Listen from start to finish - you won’t be disappointed
“Were you raised by wolves?” is a refreshing take on the world of modern etiquette. The content is relatable and the hosts feedback is incredibly relevant in our modern society. The hosts are especially engaging and happen to be my favorite part of the show! I love the rapport between Nick and Leah. For an etiquette podcast, it’s not forced or stuffy. I have to say, this is the only podcast that actually makes me laugh out loud, thanks to the great hosts! Also, when you email them a question, you get a thoughtful response which is so appreciated (whether the question is chosen to be aired or not). Thank you, both! Highly, highly recommend. Tell your family, tell your friends. You won’t be disappointed! Enjoy.

Just what society needs.
Nick and Leah make learning about manners so easy and FUN! I love listening and learning! This is my favorite podcast, and listening should be mandatory for all humans. ❤️. In this year, amid the pandemic and every other icky thing, this podcast makes my day.

Weekly dose of delightful
In the chaos that is 2020, Nick and Leah’s civilized discussions of etiquette conundrums is a welcome respite. I always learn something new, and frequently come away feeling prepared to address whatever social situation comes my way.

What a refreshing and delightful podcast!
I recently found this podcast and it has quickly become one of my favorites. This program feels as if you’re being let into a conversation between friends rather than a stiff debate on etiquette. I find the introductory tidbits (amuse-bouche) thoroughly entertaining, and the ending (cordials of kindness) are so pleasant. Thank you for putting some positivity forward in the world!

Joyful, intelligent, and makes me feel better when I get mad at strangers
I come from a family who thinks the way they do things or feel about things is right, and everyone else who does or feels different is barbaric (I’m being dramatic, but only a little).... so this show really resonates with me and provides a hilarious sense of gratification and confirmation in my stances! I have actually gone back to listen to every episode of this show and have laughed and nodded in agreement to many, many topics. It has taught me so much about the history of etiquette - like why we answer a phone call with “Hello” - but also has insights on The Issues of Today (or first world problems), like sliding into someone’s DMs. This show brings me a lot of joy and I know it does for many others. I am hopeful the show continues for seasons to come, but am especially hopeful I will one day have a chance to call someone out by asking if they were raised by wolves.

My “going for a walk” podcast of choice
Nick and Leah never disappoint with this fresh, hilarious, and informative podcast that is always my number one choice for daily walks. It really is the cats meow! Highly recommend to anyone who is or wants to be a decent human being. Thanks Nick and Leah!

Much needed….
Good advice on how to deal with etiquette and social issues that don’t involve life or death are always welcomed. Our hosts are very helpful, fun, and the program is entertaining throughout. I appreciate they don’t make us wait long between episodes.

So fun to listen to!
I love listening to this podcast! The topics are so relatable and fun to listen to! I really learn something new every time I listen to an episode. I really appreciate the way Nick and Leah work through each question, very genuine.

Delightful
My new favorite podcast! Great content and hosts! Always the best way to start the week

Fun, light, and educational!
This is my favorite podcast. The two hosts play off of each other very well. Nick is a hard-and-fast etiquette rule follower. Leah is more lenient. Both are funny and witty and a joy to listen to. The show covers a fun mix of topics. Some are practical, like what to do if you need to spit out a bite of food. Others are just entertaining. Great show!

Love it!
Such a fun listen and a reminder to use my manners :)

Head and shoulders above the rest
I stumbled onto this podcast and am so happy that I did after unsubscribing to another manners podcast - "Shmanners." The "Were You Raised by Wolves" hosts are funny, informative, timely and don't push a social agenda. Just good, practical advice delivered in an entertaining way. I think that listeners of all ages will find something to benefit from here.

Love this podcast
Not only is this podcast entertaining, I learn something new in each episode. I cannot recommend this podcast enough!

Love love love
SO happy when these show up in my feed! I almost always learn something... even though manners and grammar were a BIG DEAL in my family. I love the humor and I always get a good laugh!! I want to have a cocktail with Nick and Leah, they seem like so much fun.
