On today’s show, we take your questions on whether to cut all your meat at once or just one bite at a time, how to graciously accept a generous offer from a well-off relative to help with college costs, and how to make friendly small talk with uniformed Army personnel without accidentally overstepping rank. For community members, your question of the week is about how to navigate tight theatre rows politely—balancing North American ‘face the stage’ etiquette with European customs that favor acknowledging seated patrons as you pass. Plus your weekly challenge, etiquette salute, and a postscript segment where Dan interviews Jennifer Winters, Executive Director of The National League of Junior Cotillions.
