Ask Ronna

It's time for another Free Feed preview of our most recent Patreon episode! We're beyond excited about Halloween here in Marblehead. (Bryan) is getting his Chucky costume ready, though he has a second costume he's preparing specifically for The Carriage House, excuse me. Until then, we've got another absolutely fantastic show for you this week! After we gab about Phantom of the Opera and the trave...

Now wait a minute. The reaction to this past week's Patreon episode was INCREDIBLE, pardon me, and we couldn't agree more. Was Paul F. Tompkins a delight? Of course he was. Was our discussion of the Bad Art Friend from the New York Times everything we said it would be and more? Of course it was. And was our Halloween Candy Tasting a high/low treat of monumental proportions? You better believe it w...

It's another amuse-bouche this week to give you a taste of our most recent episode over on Patreon! This is an excerpt from this past weekend, "The Twink with a Clairvoyant Streak" (Patreon 87). As the title suggests, there's a lot to talk about. The town of Marblehead may be making a racket outside The Carriage House today with their tree trimming crew (which Ronna doesn't need since she has her...

Hello, dears! This week we thought we'd try something a little different on the Free Feed. Here's an excerpt from our latest Patreon episode from this past weekend, "The (W)hole Shebang" (Patreon 86). Think of it as an amuse-bouche to whet your appetite for the main course, pardon me. Ronna doesn't even know where to begin this week. She and (Bryan) are still up in arms about last week's "best fri...

We're back inside The Carriage House for a Patreon Sneak Peek thanks to Yadvina. This week we travel back to the holiday season of 2020. The low winter sun is shining through the windows while we have a delightful Carriage House Catch-Up, excuse me. Today is all about advice, so after our cliffhanger about a family's gift-giving drama we answer questions about exploring sexuality later in life, wh...

It's the gift that keeps on giving! Yadvina's keys are still under the doormat, so come inside The Carriage House for a sneak peek at Patreon 35 from early October 2020. Fall is in full swing in Marblehead. Ronna's got her cardigan (with a gorgeous “I Coffee & Voted" brooch, excuse me) and (Bryan) is dazzling with his Navy SEAL haircut and well-fitted tee. We're ready to dish out some advice! Firs...

Time for another sneak peek inside The Carriage House courtesy of Yadvina! This week we go back a little over a year to Labor Day weekend of 2020. Ronna's off to the Vineyard for the holiday, and (Bryan) and the Lobsterman are planning a little tour of Massachusetts that they would totally be willing to cancel for a chance to play shirtless tennis for Ronna and her friends. But, before anyone vent...

Ronna (& Bryan) are still on their Free Feed break, but a certain Ukrainian housekeeper is back in Marblehead with a little gift for you. Once again, it's the keys to The Carriage House and a sneak peek at Patreon! This week we travel back to August 7, 2020, with Patreon 26. Agent Provocateur Ronna & CCEO (Bryan) are here with a doozy of a question about what to do when you wake up to your partner...

It seems as though Yadvina's kindness (or maybe it's mischief) knows no bounds. She's lending you her keys again so you get another sneak peek inside The Carriage House! This week, we go back in time to May 22, 2020, with Patreon 15. It's early on in quarantine and (Bryan) is feeling a bit squirrely (he may or may not have caused a massive power outage in the sauna the previous week). But luckily...

Ronna (& Bryan) are on a well-deserved break from the Free Feed, but Yadvina is still keeping The Carriage House in pristine condition while they're away...and she has a treat for you all. She is going to let you borrow her keys to The Carriage House so everyone on the Free Feed can get a taste of what they're missing on Patreon. Normally Ronna would be FURIOUS if she knew there was this kind of a...

She's back! After a week away, Ronna has returned in all her glory, but we don't even have time to talk about her doubles tournament with Hugh Moscowitz because of (Bryan)'s mischief while she was away. But no need to worry...she has a forensic plumber on the case. In any event, this show is our end of Season 2 blowout extravaganza! We're taking a well deserved break for a short while, but not bef...

Now wait a minute. The tension is palpable. You could cut it with a knife. Ronna's doubles tennis tournament was moved to today, and she absolutely couldn't miss it, so she asked a dear friend to fill in for her on the show. But what happens when this dear friend is one of (Bryan)'s biggest rivals? Can they put their competitiveness for Ronna's approval aside for the sake of the show? The answer i...

I mean, have we got a great show this week or have we got a great show this week? We can assure you it exceeds our wildest "exceptations." After some serious Judge Judy talk and reminiscing about Jerry Hall, we welcome comedian and podcast host Megan Gailey to The Carriage House! You know her from her countless appearances on Comedy Central and the late night shows as well as host of the podcast I...

We absolutely love giving our Free Feed listeners a little taste of what they're missing in The Carriage House over on Patreon every now and then (though we hesitate to use the word "taste" this week, as you'll see). It's time for another edition of Classic Cliffhangers! For this illustrious volume, we're bringing you some of our dirtiest cliffhangers, and we mean that quite literally. First up is...

We have a VERY special episode today as we welcome one of our oldest and dearest friends to The Carriage House. He may even expect us to roll out the red carpet, Hollywood star that he is, as this is, technically, his THIRD appearance on Ask Ronna, excuse me. Get ready for the always fabulous Justin Kirk! You know him from WEEDS, ANGELS IN AMERICA, KIDDING, PERRY MASON, and about a million other t...

Summer is officially in full swing. Ronna's 4th of July gala was as good as it's ever been (despite (Bryan) flirting with every man there) and we're sipping Negronnas poolside daily. Life is good! What could make it better? Maybe inviting into The Carriage House our dear friend, and one of the most prominent soccer broadcasters in the US, pardon me, Roger Bennett! You know Roger from his massively...

OK, Ronner...today's show is filled to the brim with energy and follow-ups, or "F.U.'s" as (Bryan) calls them. In fact, we have so much to get to that we barely have time to chat about all the incredibly exciting things happening in The Carriage House this month (the Negronna launch, our Instagram Live last week, the gorgeous Pride stickers coming with the coffee, etc). So without further ado, we'...

Here we are, just the two of us! It's another back-to-basics Carriage House Catch-Up this week, and not a moment too soon. (Bryan)'s in a mood (you'll never guess who the Lobsterman left him for...), but luckily Ronna's here to lift his spirits! After some great follow-ups (we don't know exactly what a Norwegian Forest Cat is, but it sounds scary) we give some advice on being friends with someone...

How excited are we that summer is officially here? We can't wait to get to the Vineyard and sip Negronnas all season long. Unfortunately the Lobsterman won't be joining us, as (Bryan) and he have officially ended things, but you know who might join us in his place? This week's guest, the legendary Jason Mantzoukas! You know him from BIG MOUTH, PARKS AND REC, THE GOOD PLACE, and much, much more. He...

Now wait a minute. Are we excited or are we excited? Not only do we have a great show and an amazing guest, but we have an announcement so thrilling we can't even contain ourselves. After a quick conversation about the magic of Salonpas™️, we welcome to The Carriage House the absolutely fabulous Caleb Hearon! You know Caleb from his incredible Twitter and IG videos (Variety included him on its "10...

We have got an absolutely FABULOUS show this week, even if Dante might be trying to sabotage it. After some mind-blowing Hollywood gossip (Ronna is gobsmacked to learn that Tyne and Tim Daly are siblings), we welcome to The Carriage House director, writer, and producer extraordinaire Lucia Aniello! You know her from her work on Comedy Central's BROAD CITY, the movie ROUGH NIGHT, and as the creator...

You'll have to pardon us as we start off this week with a minor crisis. (Bryan) is over-caffeinated it seems, but not even a triple shot of espresso can make us lose sight of what an absolutely spectacular time we're about to have in The Carriage House. We're so happy to welcome the hosts of the delightful DOUGHBOYS podcast, Nick Wiger and Mike Mitchell! If you're a fan of podcasts and you're not...

So...we had an epiphany this week. We felt we needed to get back to basics, and for Ronna (& Bryan) to spend some quality time together on the Free Feed, just the two of them. It's time for a Mental Health Day...an intimate Carriage House Catch-Up to reconnect and refresh. And we've got a catch-up for the ages!  Chunky smoothies, slutty summers, Sherman, Zabar's rats, and more. Plus we give advice...

There is so much happening in the world right now, but we're DYING to know more about Bill and Melinda Gates' divorce. Who is this former lover that Bill has been spending time with in the Outer Banks? How long has this arrangement been going on? How will it affect their foundation's charitable giving? Enquiring minds! Needless to say, we're giving you a lot to put into your earhole wank bank this...

It's a good thing we've purveyors of some of the best coffee around, pardon me, because we'll need a few cups to deal with our spectacular and vivacious guest this week! After a little conversation about honeycrisp apples and a trip through (Bryan)'s laundry, we welcome to The Carriage House none other than drag performer, recording artist, and winner of the second season of "Drag Race All-Stars"...
