Society & Culture
Welcome to Awesome Etiquette, where we explore modern etiquette through the lens of consideration, respect and honesty. On today’s show we take your questions on birthday gift requests, asking about a loved one’s remains, handling estrangement when not many mutual friends know about it, and a question about whether a neighbor’s request is polite or unrealistic. For Awesome Etiquette sustaining members our question is about using Venmo and social media to casually crowdsource a bachelorette. Plus your most excellent feedback, etiquette salute and a postscript where Dan interviews etiquette author and Nasa scientist Donald James about his new book, Manners Will Take You Where Brains and Money Won’t.
