Ethics and Etiquette

How Could This Happen? We put our resident attorney, Kelly, through her paces as we look into the recent Supreme Court leak in the Dobbs vs. Jackson Womens Health Organization Case. An entire draft opinion written by Justice Alito made its way to a reporter, who then published it in Politico. Chief Justice Roberts called the leak "a betrayal and an affront to the Court." Deliberations are privileged information and this represents a serious ethical violation. This case is also intensely political as it's situated at an intersection of privacy, precedent, technology, and medicine. Join us for this exhausting yet educational conversation.

In episode 5, we talked about things you should never say, such as, "When are you due?" and "Is that your real hair?" As a counterpoint this week, we discuss a dozen things that you should always say. This was a harder list to generate, but it led to a wide-ranging conversation on personal interactions, technology, and ways to care for one another.

Though it's by no means an exhaustive list, here are a dozen or so things you should never say, plus a few general guidelines to keep in mind during conversations. We make a surprising pivot to tell you when it's appropriate to say some things (HINT: It has to do with the nature of the relationship and the context.) We've all said awkward things before (including the podcast panel) so it's a matter of learning from past mistakes and moving forward with more kindness and consideration.

We make our own little rules here, and we break our own little rules. In developing this podcast, we didn't want it to be about which fork to use. Relevant, substantive tangles of contemporary life remain our focus, but we occasionally pivot to etiquette in the form of Etiquette Quick Hits. These are clarifications and reminders of basic courtesies that never go out of style, although they may refine through the years. In this episode, we bring you three Quick Hits and three bits of useful trivia about manners.

A New York Times headline recently asked, "Is everyone in politics writing a tell-all?" Then it answered its own question with a resounding "YES." When insiders pen unflattering, embarrassing, and vindictive books about their boss after they leave an administration, is it a breach of trust, or is it an admirable act to reveal these insights to fellow citizens?

We're working hard to put together Season 4 of Ethics and Etiquette, set to premier on Wednesday, February 9, 2022. In the meantime, let's keep the conversation going with an Ethics and Etiquette Reprise. I've re-posted two episodes from the past that were fan favorites, both on the topic of Inheritance. This is the second--two scenarios of family money matters that were ripped from the headlines.

We're looking forward to our brand new season with you on February 9. Thanks for tuning in!
