Ask Ronna

Now wait a minute. The show hasn't even started yet and Ronna's already had it with (Bryan) thanks to the crate of diabetic chocolate bars he brought her back from Peru. Luckily we have a delightful guest to help ease us out of this unpleasantness. Joining us in The Carriage House is writer, newlywed, and co-host of the podcast HOMOPHILIA Matt McConkey! Matt is here to help us give advice on deali...

Now wait a minute. Our CHIPs over on Patreon already knew this was happening, but Ronna's lifting the information embargo now and letting the cat out of the bag. While (Bryan) was on vacation, our dear friend Naomi Ekperigin not only guest hosted over on Patreon, but she also recorded a Free Feed with Ronna, and we're THRILLED to share it with you this week! As we've mentioned, be sure to watch Na...

Now wait a minute. This is a HUGE get. How do we keep topping ourselves week after week with these guests? We'll never know, but, once again, you're in for a treat, pardon me. This week we're joined in The Carriage House by none other than Jesse Tyler Ferguson! Of course you know him from MODERN FAMILY, but not only does he have the cutest podcast in the world, GAY PRIDE & PREJUDICE, he's also a T...

Now wait a minute. Of course you know our guests in The Carriage House are the cream of the crop, but our guest this week might be in the midst of having his best week ever, pardon me. We're so excited to welcome none other than actor, writer, and activist Ryan O'Connell! You know Ryan from his delightful Emmy-nominated Netflix show SPECIAL, but he's got TWO new projects coming out this week, excu...

Yes, Ronna's a classic...but don't say it to her face (it sounds a little too close to "sage," pardon me). You know what else is classic? These cliffhangers! It's time for another installment of Classic Cliffhangers! For this volume we're using the heading MYOB: Mind Your Own Beeswax. These are letters from people who, rightfully or not, couldn't leave well enough alone. We've got Grimelda the ups...

Wait a minute. Is it really him? It is! He's back! After his fabulous trip to England and Scotland, (Bryan) is back for a Carriage House Catch-up for the ages. And when we say "catch-up," we mean it, excuse me. We get so excited to chat that we literally set off the fire alarm. Then it's on to giving advice on a husband's dental issue, a deteriorating relationship with a roommate, a flatulence pro...

Now wait a minute. (Bryan) is still galavanting abroad in gorgeous England and Scotland, but have we got a special guest for you this week or what! Joining us in The Carriage House is none other than Nahant, Massachusetts' favorite son Jason Mantzoukas! You know him from literally a million things on TV and in the world of podcasts (HOW DID THIS GET MADE? is a pure delight, excuse me). Jason joins...

(Bryan) is off on his wanderlust walkabout, which means Ronna is in need of a guest host this week. And who better to join her than the man behind one of her favorite Insta accounts, actor and comedian John Milhiser! You know John from his work with UCB, College Humor, and SNL along with shows like DRAMA CLUB and FOURSOME. And you should do yourselves a favor and follow his IG account today. John...

You'll have to forgive (Bryan) for being a bit out of sorts this week. He chipped his tooth eating lobster salad that was way too creamy, and, to top it all off, he thinks his dentist is much more chic than he is. But, as Ronna insists, the show must go on, and have we got a show for you this week, excuse me. Joining us in The Carriage House is none other than our dear, dear friend Mary Holland! Y...

Now wait a minute. Any time we have authors in The Carriage House they become INSTANT best-sellers, and we're sure this week will be no different. We are so fortunate to welcome writer, actor, comedian, and our dear, dear friend Jessi Klein! Jessi is having one of the best weeks of her life, pardon me. Not only does she premiere her new show I LOVE THAT FOR YOU this Friday on Showtime, but her new...

Now wait a minute. We always joke about how close we are to becoming a legitimate show, but we're long past that. It's already happened, excuse me...especially when we land guests like this. Joining us in The Carriage House this week is our DEAR friend (and Ask Ronna superfan, pardon me) Richard Lawson! Richard is the chief critic for VANITY FAIR (maybe you've heard of it?) and his podcasts LITTLE...

Now wait a minute. Ronna has a lot to say this week, and not only because she just learned about Mac OS's Do Not Disturb Function. We're so excited to welcome to The Carriage House none other than writer and comedian Alex Edelman! If you live in New York you've no doubt heard about his SMASH hit Off-Broadway solo show JUST FOR US. It's currently enjoying a sold out run at Soho Playhouse, but, luck...

Now wait a minute. Don't start with Ronna that "oh, boo hoo, there was no Oscar show this year," ok? That'll be back next year. But this week we've got a Hollywood insider in The Carriage House that you wouldn't believe. To help us navigate this rollercoaster of a week in Entertainment we've got none other than Editor-at-Large of Variety Kate Aurthur! A legitimate entertainment journalist, excuse...

It's another Carriage House Catch-Up this week as Ronna (& Bryan) talk everything from parking at the FOX Lot (no Galaxy parking for Ronna, excuse me) to London to Baby Steve's impeccable genes. Then we've got some spectacular follow-ups about the infamous Cathy/Becky Costa Rica trip and the overseas French gendarme lover. And of course we don't forget to give some top notch advice on dressing for...

We're still impressed with the caliber of guests that we've had in The Carriage House the past few weeks. We can't wait for our dinner date with Sandra Bernhard in New York, but until then, we've got a Carriage House Catch-Up for the ages for you this week! We cover everything from London theatre to sexting to Love Is Blind to Real Housewives and more. Plus we give advice on a friendship that may...

Now wait a minute. The caliber of guests we've had in The Carriage House this year is truly remarkable, to absolutely no one's surprise, pardon me. We're so excited to welcome, for his second visit, no less, writer/producer extraordinaire Mike Schur! Of course you know him from THE OFFICE, PARKS AND REC, BROOKLYN NINE-NINE, THE GOOD PLACE, and a million other things, but he's also a New York Times...

Now wait a minute. We've had icons in The Carriage House before. We're no strangers to rubbing elbows with legends, pardon me, but we've really outdone ourselves this week. We're THRILLED to welcome to The Carriage House none other than the legendary Sandra Bernhard! Of course you know her from her iconic comedy shows and TV appearances, but if you haven't seen her perform live, you're missing out...

Now wait a minute. (Bryan) is off conquering Hollywood again this week, but Ronna is joined in The Carriage House by none other than her dear friend Mitch Silpa! You know Mitch from BRIDESMAIDS, his many appearances on ALL RISE (and a million other shows), as well as his work with the equally hilarious Drew Droege (TWO OLD QUEENS WHO'VE JUST A MINUTE TO CATCH UP). For those of you in LA, Mitch and...

Ronna had to go out of town for personal reasons this past week, but we've got something fun for you none the less. The response over last week's cliffhanger about the boyfriend from hell was OFF. THE. CHARTS. So we're giving you a little taste (a "snack" as Ronna puts it) of the advice (Bryan) and producer Adam gave on the most recent Patreon. A LOT of you commented about this, and we'll certainl...

Now wait a minute. We can't thank those of you who joined us at the live show enough. We haven't had that much fun in ages, and yes, we're sure Conor's cocktail helped! We really should have taken this week off to recuperate, but we're here with a FANTASTIC show nonetheless! We give advice on workplace etiquette regarding a pregnant coworker, whether it's ok to go "29 crazy" even though you're in...

Now wait a minute. Ronna is beside herself because it seems (Bryan) isn't quite as lonely as he lets on. He had to take a "personal" day today (keep your eye out for any lobster boats on the bay that seem to be rocking a bit more than the others). In any event, we're so fortunate to have the absolutely delightful Jean Villepique as a guest host today! You know her from AP BIO on Peacock and about...

Now wait a minute. Ronna (& Bryan)'s buttons may be getting pushed by this damn Zoom recording voice, but that doesn't change the fact that we have yet another Ask Ronna superfan on the show this week! We've got none other than comic artist, author, and soon to be movie mogul, excuse me, Adam Ellis! Adam joins us in The Carriage House to help give advice on a sizzling relationship with internation...

Look, there's no need to be modest here. Ronna looks fabulous today and she's fully embracing it. Plus we also have a show that we know you'll fully embrace too, pardon me. Joining us in The Carriage House is actor and producer Peter Kim! You know him from the hit Netflix movie THE FORTY-YEAR-OLD VERSION and Billy Eichner's upcoming rom-com BROS. Peter is also Creative Producer for the National As...

Do NOT start with Ronna today. She's in no mood, and with (Bryan) in rare form and literally spilling the tea, you can be guaranteed one of the naughtiest and most mischievous Free Feeds we've had in a while. It's just Ronna (& Bryan) this week, and, after some follow-ups and a quick dive into the private lives of raccoons, they give advice on dealing with relationship issues while co-parenting a...

Our new year just got better...he's back! (Bryan) is back from vacation, and it sounds like he had quite the time, excuse me. And if that's not enough, we're so excited to be joined in The Carriage House this week by a true Ask Ronna superfan: writer and activist Scarlett Curtis! Scarlett's books of curated essays, FEMINISTS DON'T WEAR PINK & OTHER LIES and IT'S NOT OK TO FEEL BLUE & OTHER LIES ar...
