We're fresh off our live show in Boston and we had a BLAST, pardon me. Thank you to everyone who had a hand in making it the huge success that it was and thank you to everyone who joined us!

After a recap of the live show for those of you who weren't able to join us, Ronna (& Bryan) give advice on a pair of questions involving getting your friends to change their behavior: stop bringing me booze and stop falling in love with me.

This week we're celebrating Spooky Season by going all the way back to Free Feed 2, which happened to be our first ever Halloween candy review with our dear friend Paul F. Tompkins from 2019.

Ronna & Bryan are joined by Paul F. Tompkins (BoJack Horseman, The Neighborhood Listen) on a spooky episode where we review some halloween candies before getting into this week's questions. Topics include: finding a passion at 49, transitioning out of a career in show business, and a preferred batch cocktail.

Now wait a minute. We've got a real television stalwart with us this week, pardon me. Joining us in The Carriage House is the absolutely delightful Matt Jones!

Ask Ronna Live in Boston is coming up THIS weekend, but we've still got a WHALE of a good Free Feed, pardon me.

Let's go back in time. Back...to the front! As a little bonus treat, join us in the Time Machine as we revisit the earliest days of Ask Ronna.

This week we're going all the way back to the VERY first episode, pardon me, which aired in October 2019.

For the first ever episode, Ronna Glickman is joined by Bryan Safi in her Carriage House in Marblehead, Massachusetts. The two talk about how their friendship started before answering questions about identical twin aunts, dating in a small town, and more.

Now wait a minute. Ronna's feeling a bit outnumbered this week between (Bryan) and our very special guest, but she gets it together as we welcome to The Carriage House our DEAR friend Richard Lawson!

Richard is of course an esteemed film journalist and writer who served as chief critic for Vanity Fair. These days you'll find Richard's work in the Hollywood Reporter, The Guardian, Rolling Stone, and more. Follow him on Bluesky!

Richard drops by to give us his take on everything at the Toronto International Film Festival and then helps us give advice on seeking financial restitution from an ex.

Now wait a minute. We've got one of Ronna's dearest and oldest friends on the show this week; a Torontonian of the highest order and Ronna's Canadian concierge. It's none other than award-winning author and journalist David Sax!

David has written for esteemed publications like New York Magazine, Vanity Fair, the New York Times, GQ, and many more. He's also the author of THE REVENGE OF ANALOG (named one of the best books of 2016 by the Times, pardon me) and SAVE THE DELI.

David joins us this week to give advice on dealing with a superstitious mother-in-law and what to do when your friend's child makes disparaging remarks about your appearance.

We're MAYBE sold out for Ask Ronna Live in Boston...it's hard to tell. Sometimes there's a seat or two left, but other times it's all booked.

Yes, it felt like a billion years, but WE. ARE. BACK! Ronna couldn't be happier to see (Bryan)'s face back from Edinburgh, even if his kitchen is still a mess.

After a catch-up on everything that happened over the summer, Ronna (& Bryan) give advice on dealing with a sister threatening to skip her younger sister's wedding and what to do when a teammate's drama off the field starts affecting her behavior on it.

Of course the biggest news of the summer is that we're booked and ready for our first American live show! Ask Ronna Live in Boston is coming Saturday, October 4th, at 7:30pm.

**ALL NEW EPISODES RETURN NEXT WEEK!**

Summer's unofficially over, so let's celebrate September with one more peek inside the Patreon Carriage House before Yadvina takes a well deserved break...for a few days.

We're going back to August 2020 and Patreon 26.

From 8/7/20: Agent Provocateur Ronna & CCEO (Bryan) are here with a doozy of a question about what to do when you wake up to your partner energetically masturbating in bed next to you while you're trying to sleep. Then it's on to matters less risqué, including proper bidet etiquette and what to if your neighbors aren't reciprocating your offers to socialize.

(Bryan) took Ronna's notes from last week and offers up a new version of the Lobsterman's commercial. We think you'll agree it's...got more panache.

New Free Feed episodes return Tuesday, September 9th!

Until then, summer break continues with a look inside the Patreon Carriage House thanks to Yadvina.

This week we're going back to July 2020 when we were all stuck inside during the pandemic. But we got through it with our QUIFF Film Festival Series. Here's a peek at what it was like!

From 7/17/20: I mean, when you have a cliffhanger that's this dire, you have to dive right in! We waste no time dishing out our advice on what tools make masturbation a more fulfilling experience (a rechargeable wand and Toni Braxton go a long way, apparently). Then, after some reviews and a VERY interesting update from this week's Free Feed Twitter porn issue, we move on to #QUIFF! We had a fairly heavy festival a couple of weeks ago, so we're ingesting some lighter fare this week with STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN and RATATOUILLE. Montalbán's pecs! Shatner's pettiness! Garofalo's French accent! It's all here!

When we say there are only a few tickets left to Ask Ronna Live in Boston, we mean it. Like, there are maybe 8 tickets left. If you want to join us on October 4th in Beantown, you better get on it NOW! askronnalive.com
