Ask Ronna

Wait a minute. We were laughing right from the start with this week's guest, pardon me. She's a DELIGHT. We're thrilled to be joined by comedian Heather Shaw! She's as talented as they come, and her new special, ALRIGHT, SEE YA!, hits YouTube on May 14. Do yourselves a favor and watch it and follow her on all the socials! Heather helps us give advice on an unreasonable request for payment and whet...

His new book, We Are the World (Cup): A Personal Hist...

Now wait a minute. Have we got a guest this week or have we got a guest? Joining us in The Carriage House is none other than comedic powerhouse Wendi McLendon-Covey!

Michael is an immigration and criminal defense attorney known for his day-in-the-life of a New York lawyer videos on TikTok. Not only is he whip smart and hilarious, but his work in federal court for detained migrants and extensi...

It's just Ronna (& Bryan) this week for a Carriage House Catch-Up and two very different questions. Jenny Zigrino's episode garnered a LOT of fun comments, and we even got a follow-up from the author of "Washington's Gay General!" Then we shift our attention to two dilemmas, one involving a forced lockdown with a married fling and the other with a porch light that just won't quit. Learn more about...

Hooray for Hollywood! The Oscars are nearly upon us, and once again we've got our favorite Tinseltown insiders with us to share their expert opinions on the Academy Awards. Ronna (& Bryan) are joined by Kate Aurthur and Adam B. Vary, and together they tackle the tough questions of who they think will win, who they think should win, who they think was snubbed, and much, much more. Will this be Timm...

And if that wasn't enough, she's written a play based on the true story of a gay...

We're "keeping it at the resort" this week with a Carriage House Catch-Up. After some talk about the new Wuthering Heights movie and why you never want an Emirati to call the police on you, Ronna (& Bryan) give advice on navigating a rocky relationship between friends, proper houseguest etiquette, and what to do when your coworker keeps bringing their noisy dog to work. Sponsor: See visibly thicke...

Now wait a minute. (Bryan) was called off to 911 this week, and it's such a shame because he's missing the return of one of our dearest Carriage House friends, excuse me. Joining Ronna is none other than Robin Lord Taylor! You know Robin from his countless screen credits, but he's most well known for his work as Oswald Cobblepot on GOTHAM and on Netflix's YOU.  After a catch-up with Robin and a ve...

Wait a minute. Lonely Hearts Live was this past weekend and it was a BLAST...we assume, since we're recording this in the Time Machine. But of course it was! And this week we've got a Carriage House Catch-Up with a juicy (and lengthy!) follow-up from Digging for Digits followed by some advice for a new Carriage House listener with family dynamic issue that only Ronna and possibly (Bryan) can answe...

Ronna's here and she's popping, so let's get into it! After some talk about Tropical Blizzards and female Dracula, Ronna (& Bryan) give advice on what to pack (and where to go) for a trip to Las Vegas and tackle the thorny issue of disinviting someone to your wedding. We're sold out in Brooklyn, so we hope you already have your tickets to Lonely Hearts Live in New York on February 7th! We can't wa...

This week it's a Carriage House Catch-Up for the ages as Ronna (& Bryan) reconnect after a month apart traipsing the globe for the holidays. After we hear about everything from (Bryan)'s trip to Japan, Ronna's birthday in London,...

ALL NEW FREE FEEDS RETURN NEXT WEEK! Until then, Yadvina got an earful from Mrs. Glickman this week for taking an extra long holiday. Call it forgetfulness, or, dare we say, maybe even spite? But Yadvina left the keys to The Carriage House conspicuously out on the table, so no one could blame you for taking one more sneak peek! This week we go back to October and Patreon 272, right after our live...

Ugh, what an ordeal. Yadvina got stuck in Boca because of the East Coast snowstorm and couldn't back to Marblehead. Ronna is furious, but while it might mean The Carriage House (and, God help us, The Main House) goes a few extra days without being cleaned, it also means you get an extra week of access behind the Patreon paywall! This week we go to Patreon 269 from September 12... There you are! Af...

Before Yadvina leaves for her holiday weekend in Boca Raton, she's agreed to give you a little sneak peek and let you inside The Patreon Carriage House. From August 8, 2025 - Hi, Rhonda! We've got a great show this week, especially for the many, many Brian Dennehy fans we no doubt have in The Carriage House.
