Content
[edit | edit source]The format of a typical episode involves six segments, each focusing on a different aspect of etiquette and manners: "Amuse-bouche" (a short explanation of a clear etiquette rule, such as "How to eat a croissant"),[2] "A Question of Etiquette" (a longer discussion on a broader etiquette topic or theme, such as "Ghosting"),[3] "Questions from the Wilderness" (listener-submitted questions), "Vent or Repent" (the hosts share personal anecdotes about etiquette in their own lives), "What Have We Learned?" (the hosts say one thing they've learned during the episode), and "Cordials of Kindness" (the hosts share something they're thankful for). With the exception of the first episode,[4] the show does not include any guests or interviews.
