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.

Director Christopher Nolan has turned in another restaurant-quality film. Inception is a thriller that leaves the audience with something to talk about-- so we did. WARNING: There are spoilers in this episode!

Join Trent as The Modern Manners Guy in The Ladies Room, a radio program on an Irish Radio Station. Also, Trent has turned in his Modern Manners Guy hat and offers his fond farewell.
