Were You Raised By Wolves?: Daily Summaries Delivered

Etiquette, manners, and beyond! Join Emmy® Award-winning journalist Nick Leighton and acclaimed comedian Leah Bonnema ("Late Show with Stephen Colbert"), the perfect odd couple, as they try to make the world a nicer, more polite place and offer up practical advice to help you smoothly glide through any situation. In each episode, Leighton and Bonnema explore a wide range of social situations—from the serious to the whimsical—such as how to handle interrupting talkers, establish healthy boundaries at work, or eat Cheetos politely. Drawing from viewer questions, personal experiences, and occasional historical facts, they approach each topic with empathy, warmth, and humor. The show, developed in 2019, emphasizes understanding the underlying principles of etiquette and fostering kindness in everyday interactions. Their conversations aim to help listeners navigate moments of social uncertainty or embarrassment, reflecting the universality of etiquette challenges. Leighton, a two-time Emmy Award-winning journalist, and Bonnema, a comic and writer, bring complementary perspectives to the podcast, blending practical insight with comedic timing. The show has built a diverse community of listeners, from conservative grandmothers in Tallahassee to nonbinary chefs in Seattle, united by shared experiences of social missteps and the desire to do better. They have released episodes weekly without interruption, reaching over 100 episodes, and continue to focus on creating a positive, inclusive space for discussing how to treat others with respect and care.
