Ask Ronna

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...

Is Marblehead in the midst of a summer crime wave? The smashed window of (Bryan)'s BMW rental (pardon me) seems to suggest so. And we thought the only thing we had to worry about here were the lobster fighting rings. Not to worry, though. It's Ronna's BMW guy, Jürgen, to the rescue! Then we're joined in The Carriage House by none other than actor, comedian, TV star, and now MOVIE star Lamorne Morr...

I think we determined long ago that this was the "mogul" podcast, excuse me. And we're not disappointing this week with our special guest, actor, comedian, writer, producer, and podcaster Paul Scheer! It was a fabulous holiday at Ronna's house in the Vineyard. (Bryan) was so well behaved as a guest in the art barn that he might actually be invited back! But for now we're all back in Marblehead, an...

No. Absolutely not. You're not ready for this. Our very special guest this week is entrepreneur, podcast host, New York Times best-selling author thirteen times over (pardon me), and creator of the Hungry Girl brand Lisa Lillien! After we dive into our quarantine indulgences (“The Price is Right,” dreaming about cycling through the south of France, and the auras of Steve Harvey and Dr. Phil), Lisa...

Have we got a real #freefeedbehavior show this week or what? Joining us in The Carriage House is the Scam Goddess herself, actress, comedian, podcast host and all around delight Laci Mosley! We’re giving all kinds of LOVE advice, like whether to open up a relationship in which one partner is bisexual (...and infatuated with her current boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend...), how to navigate your first majo...

It's finally arrived! After MONTHS of experimenting and tasting and quaffing, we're ready to share with you the fruits of our labor: the official Ask Ronna Coffee blends are here! And as if that wasn't enough to make this week's episode a must-listen, we've also got writer, actor, speaker, and activist Brandon Kyle Goodman with us in The Carriage House! You know him from MODERN LOVE and BIG MOUTH,...

**This week we welcome multi-hyphenate talent (actor/writer/producer/director/comedian) Kulap Vilaysack to The Carriage House! You know her as the creator of BAJILLION DOLLAR PROPERTIE$, director of her autobiographical documentary ORIGIN STORY, and host of the long-running podcast WHO CHARTED?. After a lesson on how to mix a proper Negronna (thank you, Ronna) and just how sexy Wile E. Coyote is (...

**This week in The Carriage House, it's Hollywood meets Boston meets Hollywood again as we welcome television mogul (#excuseme) Mike Schur! You know him from THE OFFICE, PARKS AND REC, THE GOOD PLACE, and BROOKLYN NINE-NINE, but he and Ronna go way back. After some catching up (what does Ronna hate more: her middle name or bath bombs?), it's advice time. In this XL episode, we opine on what to do...

Dears...we wanted to send a message from the heart.  The Free Feed will resume next Tuesday, June 9th with a brand new episode. For our Patreon members, a new episode will post this Friday, as usual.   With love. Ronna & Bryan 💋 💋  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We've got a crazy catch-up in The Carriage House this week! It's the Red Hot Chili Peppers one minute, our favorite ice cream flavors the next, mixed in with hints about some very special upcoming events and all the "free feed" behavior you can handle. Then we welcome our guest, the lovely, the talented, the unbreakable Ellie Kemper! And we waste no time putting her to work in helping us answer so...

Our guest in The Carriage House this week is none other than actor, philanthropist, and all around "angel" Misha Collins! After an update on Mr. Cleveland (who is absolutely desperate to see Ronna) and a lively debate on the low stakes of escape rooms, Ronna, Bryan, and Misha (from SUPERNATURAL on the CW) tackle a cornucopia of thorny issues, including dealing with your boyfriend's bratty roommate...
