EPISODE 45: Vampire Manners

Top of the Mornin', everyone!

We've got a little unexpected treat for you this week. I'm trying to deliver The MannersCast on a bit more of a schedule and not miss months at a time as we have done in the past.

So I'm dropping the Special Vampire Manners episode in this slot. 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.

I realize this content might not interest everyone, but the tongue-in-cheek aspect could still make it entertaining. Plus, it's more of Colin, Derek, and me ... what more could you want?

As always, email comments and feedback to mannerscast@gmail.com.

EPISODE 43: Concept Transfer

SPECIAL TWO WEEK EVENT - Episode 43 and 44 were recorded right back to back but have nothing really in common. Episode 43 includes Walking Down Stairs Manners, Correcting Grammar, and a new term "Concept Transfer".

"Concept Transfer": A liberal translation of a situational concept or rule to an unrelated situation.

EPISODE 42: Running, Skiing, Biking. Oh MY!

People are becoming more health concious all the time and many folks are picking up running, walking, biking, etc.

In this episode we discuss some of the rules for these activities and how to make things easier on you, the participant, as well as those potential victims of any unmannerly athletics.

EPISODE 41: New Orleeens

It's important to learn the pronunciation of a place before you go there and try to talk to the locals. I say this mostly out of respect for the locals and also so you, the learned traveler, do not look like a moron.

This also goes for landmarks, people's names, and menu items. However, if the pronunciation is not accessible until the awkward looks start appearing on the faces of said locals, at least try to pronounce it correctly once they have fed the correct pronunciation to you.

Here is a good place to start!

Help us all out here! If you live in a place that people frequently mispronounce, help us all out by leaving the correct pronunciation here on The MannersCast Blog!
