Ask Ronna

Now wait a minute. It's been so long since these three have been together, we can't remember the last time it happened. We're THRILLED to welcome back to The Carriage House one of our dearest friends: Jessica St. Clair!

Of course you know Jessica from her many television shows and her incredible podcast with June Diane Raphael, THE DEEP DIVE, but you also have to check out her new audiobook THE ART OF SMALL TALK, which she wrote with the lovely Casey Wilson. Get it wherever you get your audiobooks!

Jessica joins us this week to give advice on whether or not to say anything about a friend's parenting style and what to do when you're asked to write a letter of recommendation you don't want to write.

Good news. Ronna's back, and it's just her (& Bryan) today, along with one more power play from Dante. We've got LOTS to chat about today, and then we give advice on dealing with a judgmental friend (Ronna thinks she knows who really wrote this letter) and how to approach going back to a neighborhood bakery that you've ghosted.

AR Social Club is going seasonal, but not before we have one more monthly bash in July. And it's going to be a DOOZE. We're celebrating (Bryan)'s birthday in style with a HUGE Kiki Birthday Bash, an incredible summer cocktail we're calling the Strawberry Mojito Pop, and personalized Ask Ronna popsicle molds. Attending this Kiki is a MUST, and, if you haven't signed up yet, you only have TODAY to do so at arsocialclub.com

Now wait a minute. Ronna couldn't be here this week. She's either in London helping Kate Middleton or Paris advising Marine Le Pen, but we managed to find a replacement that we think you'll find "adequate." It's Producer Tony himself, here to gab with (Bryan), wildly speculate about Ronna, and give advice on a closeted childhood best friend, a sperm donor conundrum, and a K Drama obsession.

July's AR Social Kiki is going to be a MUST attend. Not only is the cocktail a Strawberry Mojito Pop complete with popsicle molds, but it's also going to double as a HUGE Birthday Blowout for (Bryan)! Wanna join us? Sign up before July 1 for an invite! arsocialclub.com

Now wait a minute. (Bryan) is going to be sorry he missed this week because we've got a true multi-hyphenate with us: writer, author, Hollywood mogul, and dear friend Priyanka Mattoo!

Priyanka's new book BIRD MILK & MOSQUITO BONES comes out TODAY, pardon me, and it's a MUST READ! Get it wherever books are sold. PLUS, we'll be doing a giveaway on Instagram where five lucky listeners can win a copy. Be on the lookout!

Priyanka and Ronna give advice on dealing with an unemployed spouse and traveling with a newborn.

AR Social Club for July is going to be just about the cutest summer event you could possibly imagine. Great cocktail, even better gifts, AND a celebration of Lady Bryan's birthday! Don't miss it! arsocialclub.com

Ronna's been stung by a bee and (Bryan)'s wearing jorts cut up to his hole. There's no better guest to have in these circumstances than the one we've got this week. We're joined by the HILARIOUS Zach Zucker!

(Bryan) saw Zach's show, JACK TUCKER: COMEDY STANDUP HOUR, in New York a few months ago and raved about it. It's a MUST SEE. Luckily it's on tour now! Zach was just in New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and Kansas City, and, if you missed those, he's going to be in Chicago, London, and in Edinburgh at the Fringe Festival this summer. Go see him! Tickets and info at stamptowncomedy.com

Zach joins us to give advice on preferred names and breaking the news to a family member that they're no longer allowed to take care of the kids.

Now wait a minute. (Bryan) may have been peeved this past week, but his mood is about to improve big time because he and Ronna have landed an INCREDIBLE guest, pardon me. We can feel The Carriage House shaking. Joining us is writer and human happiness expert Gretchen Rubin!

Not only is she the host of the podcast HAPPIER, but she's also the best-selling author of LIFE IN FIVE SENSES, now available in paperback, as well as THE HAPPINESS PROJECT. She's been interviewed by Oprah and walked arm-in-arm with the Dalai Lama. And now she can add Ronna Glickman to this esteemed list!

Gretchen joins us to give advice on dealing with a colleague who won't shut up and what to do after telling a partner of over 20 years that you no longer want a future with them.

Now wait a minute. Ronna's still convalescing post Memorial Day, but she (& Bryan) couldn't be more thrilled with this week's guest. Joining us in The Carriage House is actor and stand-up Alice Wetterlund! 

You know Alice from her incredible work on SILICON VALLEY and PEOPLE OF EARTH, and you can catch her now on SyFy's RESIDENT ALIEN. She's also on tour! Find out her tour dates at alicewetterlund.com

Alice joins us to give advice on ending a social relationship with a business client and what to sing with a parent at their 70th birthday karaoke party.

Ronna's back on the Free Feed, and (Bryan) couldn't be happier to hear the timber of her voice. Now, Ronna's coming at us from a convalescent home due to a recent health issue, but she's in a fabulous mood because not only does she get to spend time with (Bryan), but we've also got producer Adam O'Byrne with us!

After a pop culture catch-up, Ronna, (Bryan), and Adam give advice on dealing with a family member's possibly harassing gifts and whether or not plastic surgery is morally wrong.

Ronna is, wait for it, not quite done with her move back to Marblehead. But (Bryan) is here to take you through some of the most bonkers cliffhangers we've received over the past several months. From awful partners to lousy grifters to downright criminals, this week is filled with men behaving badly. You'll have to hear it to believe it!

Out now wherever you get your podcasts! You can also watch this episode on our YouTube channel at youtube.com/askronna

Once again, Ronna's not here this week as she's either in the process of moving back to the US, or, as (Bryan) theorizes, desperately seeking doctors to correct a cosmetic surgery mishap. But luckily we've got a Carriage House favorite joining (Bryan): it's Gearóid Farrelly! 

Of course you know Gearóid as a comedian extraordinaire, but he also hosts a fabulous podcast called AGONY RANTS with Irish legend Niamh Kavanagh (winner of Eurovision '93, pardon me). You can also check out his other pod FASCINATED.

Gearóid and (Bryan) give advice this week on dealing with being ghosted by a close friend and what to do when you feel as though your new friends are trying to convert you to their religion.

May is going to be an incredible month for AR Social Club with a cocktail from mixology mastermind Ivy Mix. Can we top it next month? Yes we can! June is the two year anniversary of the club, and believe us when we say we're going all out! Join us in June! arsocialclub.com
