Feature interview: Etiquette for the 21st century

From Afternoons, 3:10 pm on 16 October 2024

William Hanson doesn't make the rules, but he does enjoy them. He's one of the world's most trusted experts on good manners. He offers bite sized advice on TikTok for everything from how to eat hors d'oeuvres to negotiating small talk effortlessly. He is the Emily Post of the Instagram generation with more than five million fans.  For Hanson, society changes but good manners are timeless, classless and priceless.  He's the cohost of the podcast Help I Sexted My Boss and has released his 5th book, Just Good Manners.
