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

Our summer break is in full swing, and Yadvina is letting anyone who asks into The Carriage House while Ronna shacks up north of the border. Lucky for you, that means another sneak peek at our Patreon catalogue. And we're going way back again to July of 2020.

This week it's a Carriage House Catch-Up with Ronna (& Bryan), but we won't let Ronna's FedEx guy, "Sale of the Century," or (Bryan)'s eerily accurate impression of Andrei from 90 Day get in the way of helping out our CHIPs!

After a cliffhanger about a woman who scares easily (and the boyfriend who thinks it's strange), we get into a pair of questions regarding quarantine: one about an elderly mother ready to get out and the other about a bored family looking for games to play while staying in. Mix it all in with an update from our four-to-a-bed Foursome, and you've got yourselves a podcast.

If you enjoyed this episode and aren't yet a member of Patreon, it's never been a better time to join us! Not only do you get bonus episodes every month, but, depending on which tier you join, you also get access to the back catalogue of episodes as well as the monthly (and invaluable, pardon me) Shades of Vanilla Newsletter!

And it's worth mentioning there's no summer break on Patreon, so you can join us for BRAND NEW episodes with Ronna (& Bryan) all month long! patreon.com/askronna

And don't forget Ask Ronna LIVE is coming to Boston for ONE NIGHT ONLY on Saturday, October 4th. Tickets are selling FAST, so be sure to get the last few remaining at askronnalive.com

As we begin our summer break, it's that time when Yadvina gets a little too generous with the keys to The Carriage House. So here's a sneak peek behind the paywall at a Patreon episode from WAY back...May 2020 to be exact.

It's an intimate Carriage House catch-up, and Ronna & Bryan are talking Murder Hornets, 90 Day, and everything in between. Then it's on to an international update from Seville, Spain, men's jewelry, and a VERY tricky question about Twitter Porn.

Wait a minute. Yes, our dear (Bryan) is in Edinburgh right now, but we're just getting right into it this week because we have a special guest who's been in The Carriage House so much it might be insulting to call her a guest. She's family at this point, pardon me. It's our dear, dear friend Jessica St. Clair!

If you're not listening to Jessica's podcast THE DEEP DIVE (with the equally lovely June Diane Raphael), we don't know what to tell you. You're missing out!

Ronna and Jessica, who's off to the south of France tomorrow for a well earned vacation, have a little Carriage House Catch-Up of their own (did Ronna REALLY give Jessica some bad pot?) before giving advice on a mother vs mother-in-law battle and what to do with a boyfriend whose home is less than clean. It's time to get hinky.

If you're anywhere near Scotland, you've GOT to go see (Bryan)'s show ARE YOU MAD AT ME at the Edinburgh Fringe! Now showing through the end of August! Tickets at bryansafi.com or link in his bio.

Well, it's official! Our little baby boy (Bryan) is off to Edinburgh with his hilarious show. But before he goes, we give him the best send-off we can think of: a Carriage House Catch-Up!

After debating the best cookies in New York and the national scandals du jour, Ronna (& Bryan) give advice on getting over the guilt of a marriage proposal (it's a complicated story) and what to tell the world if you're trying to hide a beard transplant.

Go. See. (Bryan). In. Edinburgh! He's going to take the Fringe by storm, and he'll deserve every ounce of success he gets. Tickets at bryansafi.com

Now wait a minute. We're rolling out the red carpet for our Hollywood guest this week. We're thrilled to welcome back to the Carriage House a true friend of the show, none other than Editor-At-Large of VARIETY (ever heard of it?) and journalist extraordinaire Kate Aurthur!

After some breaking news about all sorts of reality show drama, Kate helps Ronna (& Bryan) give advice on dealing with stinky neighbors and how to tell good friends that their dog is obese.

Our very own (Bryan)'s show is opening in Edinburgh next week! Go see him at the Fringe! Tickets at bryansafi.com

Now wait a minute. (Bryan) has a sudden work obligation and can only stay for the introduction (such is the life of a Hollywood A-Lister), but boy is he missing out. We suppose it's only fair, though, since Ronna missed out the first time this absolute literary legend was previously in The Carriage House. Joining us this week is the Queen herself, Susan Orlean!

Of course you know Susan as the best-selling author of THE ORCHID THIEF, which was adapted into the Academy Award winning film ADAPTATION with Meryl Streep. She's also the author of THE LIBRARY BOOK as well as a staff writer for THE NEW YORKER. Her new book, JOYRIDE, comes out in October! You can also find her Substack at susanorlean.substack.com

Susan and Ronna tackle one question this week, but it's a Dooze McBooze involving someone coming into a large inheritance debating how, or even whether, to help their less well-off siblings. 

(Bryan)'s Edinburgh show, ARE YOU MAD AT ME, is coming up at the end of the month and plays the Edinburgh Fringe for most of August. Are you going to be anywhere near Scotland in August? Go see (Bryan)! Tickets at bryansafi.com

Wait a minute. We've got one of our all time favorite devils in The Carriage House this week. Joining us is our dear, dear friend John Gemberling!

You know John from his million TV appearances on shows like BROAD CITY, MARRY ME, MAKING HISTORY, MIXED-ISH, and many, many more.

John helps Ronna (& Bryan) give advice on getting out of going to a family wedding and navigating a very long term relationship where marriage seems to be out of the question. John helps us turn this poop cruise right around!

Wait a minute. Sometimes people are funny. Sometimes people make you laugh. And sometimes, people can do both. We're thrilled to have just that person with us this week. Joining us in The Carriage House is the delightful Betsy Sodaro!

You can see Betsy on the hit CBS show GHOSTS, but you can also catch her on her two fabulous podcasts A FUNNY FEELING and, her newest, WE LOVE TRASH.

Betsy helps us give advice on a sister making tough financial decisions and dealing with a pair of mean gays.

Be sure to catch (Bryan) at his one-man show at the Edinburgh Festival this summer, opening on his birthday on July 30! Tickets at bryansafi.com

Yes, (Bryan)'s kitchen and living room are in complete disarray, but he's still feeling fine because it's a Carriage House Catch-Up this week!

After a VERY interesting follow-up, Ronna (& Bryan) give advice on what to do after accidentally sexting a married friend and how to navigate being uninvited to a wedding. Don't take unless you make!
