No Etiquette

Gone are the days of formal etiquette. So what should you do in the maddening social situations you face every day? How long should you take to reply to that message? What should you say to get out of that gathering? How do you manage your therapist’s jealousy of your new second therapist? Best friends Vivian Lee and Sophia Bose address modern etiquette questions in a nonsense fashion, and they’ve saved a seat for you. Send your questions to noetiquettepodcast@gmail.com.
