Ask Ronna

Now wait a minute. We've got a bit of a "get," as they say, for this week's show. A person whose Instagram, much like our own, is a MUST FOLLOW, pardon me. Joining us in The Carriage House is none other than Internet superstar Zachariah Porter! Again, if you're not following Zachariah on Instagram and TikTok then you are missing out on so much in your life. And be sure to catch his CAMP COUNSELORS...

Tompkins and Janie Haddad Tompkins!  Do yourselves a favor and subscribe to their substack at weekendwater.substack.com to get all the news about Janie and Paul, including tours, merch, and of course info about...

Now wait a minute. Ronna's coming at us from the Austrian Alps this week, much to (Bryan)'s envy, but the bigger story here is how we were able to land such a star as our guest this week. Joining us in The Carriage House is none other than actress Jessica Barden!  You know Jessica (Jessy, as her friends call her) from her work on THE END OF THE F***ING WORLD, PIECES OF HER, and YOU & ME, and in fi...

It's a Carriage House Catch-Up this week, and we've got a lot to talk about.

Lots to get to! Ronnukah is coming fast, and we want to hear from you! Our Ronnukah episode is November 21 this year, so if you've got...

On the podcast She Speaks Bravo, host Emily Hanks likes to believe that Bravo TV is a great form of self care and therapy.

If you love all things Real Housewives, Vanderpump and more, you're going to love She Speaks Bravo.  You can find the entire She Speaks Bravo cata...

Now wait a minute. We may have had to go to the nether regions of Georgia to chat with her, but we couldn't be more thrilled to have her on.

Now wait a minute. (Bryan) had a previous commitment, so he's unable to join us this week, but don't you worry. We've got a total woman power episode, pardon me. Joining us in The Carriage House are puberty experts Dr. Cara Natterson and Vanessa Kroll Bennett! They're the authors of the incredible new book THIS IS SO AWKWARD, the ultimate guide for adults helping tweens and teens navigate puberty....

Jacob helps us give advice on dealing with a husband with a secret and what...

We're still recovering from the FABULOUS time we had in London at the live show this past weekend. Sure, Brunello Cucinelli may have snubbed Ronna from his 70th birthday, but we're still in high spirits! We've got a Carriage House Catch-Up this week, and we've got a lot to talk about. Then we give advice on a Dooze McBOOZE of a problem involving a friend with a MASSIVE secret and follow it up with...

Now wait a minute. We've got a real "hot Krispy Kremes at the nuthouse" kind of episode this week. Ronna's on the floor with her feet in the air (for her back, excuse me), and (Bryan)'s been sneezing all day. But luckily we have a guest who delights us to no end. We're so happy to welcome to The Carriage House actor, comedian, and writer Jo Firestone! Her novel MURDER ON SEX ISLAND is being releas...

It's Labor Day, and Yadvina has a rare day off...so she's lending you her keys to The Carriage House so you can get a little sneak peek behind the door. This week we go back to March 31st with Patreon 164. Ronna (& Bryan) had such a blast at that past weekend's Social Club Kiki, but (Bryan) was still feeling a bit "provoked," shall we say. But all was smoothed over when Ronna reminded him that he...

Now wait a minute. This week's guest can truly be called a real "GETthard," pardon me. We're thrilled to welcome to The Carriage House none other than actor, comedian, and writer Chris Gethard!  You know Chris from his countless television appearances, but his podcast BEAUTIFUL STORIES FROM ANONYMOUS PEOPLE is a phenomenal show and you should absolutely listen to it right after this. He also hosts...

For decades he's worked with Conan O'Brien as a writer and producer and is responsible for, quite literally, thousands of hours of entertainment, pardon me. We're so excited...

Where in the world is Ronna Marlene Glickman? (Bryan) doesn't know and, of course, is totally fine with that. She'll return next week, but, until then, we've got a fabulous guest host this week.

He's also got not one, not two, but THREE shows coming up at...

Of thee we sing! What better way to celebrate Independence Day than by counting down the days until we go back to the place we broke away from? We're just ten short days away from Ronna (& Bryan) LIVE in London, but until then, we've got a STELLAR Carriage House Catch-Up this week. After some top notch Austria travel advice (Ronna's got you covered if you ever visit, excuse me), we give advice on...

Joining us this week is none other than the fabulous Kerri Kenney-Silver! Aside from The...

Now wait a minute. Ronna doesn't know what's more horrifying: that (Bryan) has put ice in his Negroni or that he thinks the title of this episode means something VERY different than what she thinks it means. In any event, have we got some fun in store for you this week or what? It's time for some Classic Cliffhangers, and these cliffhangers really shocked us. First up is Liesel the frog killer, wh...
