Lizzie Post (medium build with long blond hair) stands in casual attire - grey jeans, Bob Segar T-Shirt and Carhart Vest - holds open large etiquette book with her nose in the air. Daniel Post Senning (lean with brown hair) in a white button down shirt and yellow napkin tucked into his collar, is seated gripping a fork in his left fist and knife in his right. His head is cocked and his expression ever so slightly threatening.

Meet Our Show

Each episode starts off with a friendly hello and some Post-cousin banter about Vermont life, and the adventures that being etiquette experts entail (Riveting.)... This is followed by Post answers to four to five listener submitted etiquette questions ranging from how to handle group take-out orders to the nitty-gritty of names and titles... Then the cousins turn back to the listeners for a feedback segment that helps further shape the etiquette advice they give and offers fresh perspectives and solutions to the situations discussed in previous episodes… Next up is a 'Postscript' segment where the Posts cover topics that range from readings of etiquette books old and new, to deep dives into specific etiquette topics and adventures in emerging etiquette… The show ends on a high note with a listener submitted 'Etiquette Salute' offered to inspire and bring the focus back to the good we all see in the world.
