The MannersCast

We answer listener email about Public Display of Affection and cover whether or not we should teach our kids to say "Yes, Ma'am" and "Yes, Sir".

This is the episode we recorded for the Buffy between the Lines podcast at Buffy between the Lines dot com. In episode 44 of The MannersCast we mentioned checking it out , and even though you're listening to it now, you should still give a peek over there if it sounds interesting to you.

By popular demand we would like to present The MannersCast Christmas Special.

Listen to The MannersCast from Episode 1. In this episode we hear from Listener Art about Family Manners and Loaning Money to Family, a manners success story, and an update on Doug and Julia.

Listener Anne responds to The MannersCast Challenge and that brings us to a discussion of restaurant seating manners. You are certain to learn something about yourself when we talk about big groups at restaurants. Listener Katy also sends in her Report!

With a couple of cool, new (and very different) Sci Fi movies out in 2011, we wanted to catch up with each other and talk movies again! Source Code and HANNA are the subjects of this podcast.

Join us for a discussion of Trolley Theives and shopping cart manners, Colin is turned down for a Library Card, we hear from Esther about a prank, and we talk snappy comebacks.

Twitter in the News, dealing with an Unresponsive Vote, and tips on tipping. Trent talks about crowding in a swimming pool.

Mark from the UK sent us an Anti-Guide for Elevator Etiquette. Trent uses a range of terrible accents to convey this list. We also revisit the question of the Wedding Registry and take a look at how to respond to difficult situations in friends' lives.

Colin talks about his near death experience in an elevator, and Trent's eyes are opened by a sneeze cloud. Should you take a vacation from your cell phone? Babies can fly just give them something to drink. Finally, we offer our first MannersCast Challenge.
