Ask Ronna

We're back! After our little hiatus from the Free Feed we're excited to get going again...though (Bryan) might be a little TOO excited (Ronna's going to have to pull every string she has at the town council to fix that). Zoom scandals aside, we have reason to be excited. We've teased you for weeks about our huge guest for the new year, and we think we've delivered in a BIG way, excuse me. Joining...

We made it! The last Free Feed of the year! We can't thank you all enough. We appreciate when you say that we helped you get through a rough year, but, really, it's us who should be thanking YOU. 2020 was a horror show, yes, but it also gave us some, shall we say, "interesting" cliffhangers...cliffhangers that could have only happened in this monstrosity of a year. So, without further ado, we pres...

Ronna's house looks beautiful in ANY season, excuse me...but there really is nothing like seeing it wrapped in a blanket of fresh snow. Marblehead is stunningly gorgeous after this week's snowfall, even if (Bryan) needs a moment to 'settle his feathers' before he can fully appreciate it. And speaking of being appreciative, how blessed are we to welcome Gayle Rankin to The Carriage House this week!...

Ronna is absolutely glowing today. Maybe it's her fresh cut peonies, or maybe it's the oil from all the latkes she's been making. In any event, everyone in The Carriage House is in high spirits! And what better way to keep things festive than with our second week in a row of having TWO guests! This week we welcome SuChin Pak and, back for her second time in The Carriage House, excuse me, the absol...

We have a very rare treat in The Carriage House this week, as we're joined by not one but TWO special guests, though Ronna has some trepidation in having two nice Jewish girls on to talk about murder (isn't that against the Talmud?). But when the guests are this witty and fabulous, who cares! This week we welcome the multi-hyphenate talents of Kara Klenk and Liza Treyger! You know them from their...

Ronnukah, O Ronnukah, come light the menorah! It's finally here! We've been busy for weeks curating a list of our favorite gifts for the holiday season, and we think you won't be disappointed. If you don't have any gift ideas after this, then we don't know what to tell you, excuse me. Our suggestions run the gamut from the simplest and most inexpensive of presents all the way to our fantasy gifts...

Now, wait a minute. Are we Thankful. How did we get this far? There were moments we thought we wouldn't get here, but we kept going, and, with some hard work and a LOT of support from you, we're still going strong over one year later AND we're able to bring you the best selling Hanukkah blend ever! Talk about a lot to be thankful for, excuse me. This past summer's installment of Classic Cliffhange...

2020 may have been a trying year (to say the least, excuse me), but the end of it is shaping up to be a VERY exciting time in The Carriage House! We're getting ready to end the year with a bang, and who better to join us as we kick it all off than actress and TV maestra Lennon Parham! You know Lennon from her work on PLAYING HOUSE, BLESS THIS MESS, VEEP, WOMP IT UP and so much more. Lennon helps u...

This past week has felt like a MONTH, excuse me. We couldn't be happier now, but we recorded this episode the day before the race was called. We were feeling good, but still on pins and needles. What better way to pass the time as we awaited results in The Carriage House than with our very special guest, author, journalist, activist, and internationally renowned columnist Dan Savage! Dan, no stran...

We admit it...we're on edge. Today is SUCH an important day. We voted (several times in Ronna's case) and (Bryan) is downing Advil and Prozac to get through the evening. We figured it was too fraught to have an American on the show today, so instead we have a delightful Canadian! We welcome actor, comedian, writer, producer (talk about 'multi-hyphenate,' excuse me) Sabrina Jalees! You know her fro...

Wait a minute. If you think we're ready for this, you're crazy. This week in The Carriage House we welcome none other than actress, singer, "RuPaul's Drag Race" runner up, and the first out trans woman to originate a lead role on Broadway (excuse me) Peppermint! Her new album, A GIRL LIKE ME: LETTERS TO MY LOVERS, is out now! After a quick catch up with (Bryan)'s Lobsterman situation (he wants to...

Now, wait a minute. We're a bit out of breath because we had to do a quick 20 minutes on our Peloton right before the show. But we're warmed up and ready to welcome Ronna's personal Peloton instructor Cody Rigsby to The Carriage House! After a quick report on what's sure to be a lawsuit from Yadvina (maybe Ronna does need an HR person after all), Cody helps us give advice on long distance relation...

Could the news be any crazier these days? Really? Excuse me? Not possible, but this week we are as up to the minute as we can possibly be thanks to our very special guest, host of ALL THINGS CONSIDERED on NPR, Ari Shapiro! After a quick update on (Bryan)'s fall TV favorites (please heed Wendy Williams' advice and protect yourself from the CORNOVA virus), Ari helps us answer questions about decorat...

Now, wait a minute. We've reached a true milestone this week. It's our 50th show on the Free Feed! And have we got a treat for you. We've had some big guests lately, but now we're moving into huge. Who's worthy of being our 50th guest? None other than comedy icon and director extraordinaire Paul Feig! Whether it's TV ("Freaks and Geeks," "The Office," "Arrested Development") or film ("Bridesmaids,...

Wait a minute. There's no way you're ready for this. Clearly we've risen to a level of quality you can't handle. For this week's episode, we put on our newscaster hair and brushed up on world affairs as we welcome CNN Chief International Correspondent Clarissa Ward to The Carriage House! Her new book, ON ALL FRONTS, covers her life on the front lines of today's power centers and hot zones. Clariss...

Ronna's got her coffee. (Bryan)'s got his Crystal Light (and vodka?). We're ready to go!  After a thorough rundown of Catherine Zeta-Jones' insane backyard hat dance on Instagram, we welcome back our first "repeat customer" to The Carriage House, actress and comedian Arden Myrin! In addition to her podcast WILL YOU ACCEPT THIS ROSE?, she also has a new book called LITTLE MISS LITTLE COMPTON that i...

Now, wait a minute. How excited are we about today's guest? Ronna is popping out of her chair and (Bryan) is a pitter patter. We're so thrilled to welcome expert baker, season one champion of the GREAT BRITISH BAKE OFF, and author of the new cookbook ONE TIN BAKES, Edd Kimber! After some light banter about parallel parking and the differences between Darwinian and Lamarckian evolution, Edd joins u...

We're back from our holiday in the Vineyard, and we dive right in with a red pepper PSA (don't you dare ruin Ronna's quiche). Then we welcome actor and comedian Langston Kerman to The Carriage House! You know him from INSECURE on HBO, his stand-up specials, and his new hit podcast MY MOMMA TOLD ME. Langston helps us answer questions about dealing with family members who believe in QAnon conspiracy...

Here we are with ANOTHER Carriage House first. Free Feed listeners know that we read a cliffhanger at the end of each episode to be answered on that week's Patreon show. Now, for the first time ever, we're releasing some of our most outrageous cliffhanger questions and answers to the Free Feed! Talk about Free Feed Behavior, excuse me. For our first volume of Classic Cliffhangers, we're really ear...

Pour your coffee and put on your tap shoes and short shorts, because we've got a lot to cover in The Carriage House this week! After a follow-up from the (regional) flight attendant with the worst grandma and another from the confused friend with the flaky acquaintance, we welcome, “Ready or Not," Kristian Bruun to the podcast! You know him from "Orphan Black" and the show "Carter" on IMDb TV. Kri...

(Bryan) may be a bit under the weather today, but it's nothing a little Tylenol and red wine can't handle (though Yadvina is standing by with the neti pot, just in case). Once (Bryan) is breathing easy, it's on to an absolutely delightful time in The Carriage House! This week we welcome SNL alum and star of SPREE and the upcoming WOKE (with Lamorne Morris, excuse me) Sasheer Zamata! Sasheer helps...

What a week it's been! As we nurse our hangovers from all your boozy COVID Kiki recommendations, we can't thank you enough for making it such a success! We loved hearing from all of you, whether it was about whiskey or dessert or books or Chilly Witches (keep those coming, by the way!). But now it's time to clean up the mess in the Carriage House and welcome actor, comedian, and prolific podcast h...

During the Covid Kiki, we promised you a nostalgic treat. Fix yourself a warm drink, curl up in your cozy bed, and let Ronna soothe you with a story. Let us know what you think! 💋 💋  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Now wait a minute...you've heard us teasing it, you've seen the poster, and now it's here: the COVID Kiki! Sit back, relax with a nice cup of coffee (you know where to get it), or maybe even a Stone-fruit Sangria, and let us share all our ideas with you for getting through quarantine with a level of luxury that only Ronna Glickman (& Bryan) can provide. We'll cover it all, from daily rituals to re...

It's chaos at The Carriage House! Ronna's driveway is being repaved, (Bryan) can't stand the noise, Jürgen and the Lobsterman might come to full on fisticuffs, and Ronna is livid about not having a blue checkmark on Instagram...and where's a Googler when you need one? Luckily, with the help of Kris Kristofferson fantasies and the oil rig sex appeal of Stellan Skarsgård, we're able to pull ourselve...
