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.

(Bryan) and Michelle give advice on dealing with a roommate's lie, talking to a friend who insists on wearing white to weddings, and whether or not to break up with a friend.

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, which has been one of the most talked about cliffhangers in Ask Ronna history. Then it's onto the Canadian grifter who can't follow any rules. Of course we also have to talk about the Song of Takumi and Rizzo, and then we end on Rick the ***hole. Ronna (& Bryan) have got a LOT to say about these!

And as a little bonus, you can watch this entire Classic Clifhangers episode on YouTube! Just go to our channel at Ask Ronna. https://www.youtube.com/@AskRonna

Now wait a minute. Why didn’t anyone tell us there was a hit true crime podcast telling stories that rival Ms. Jessica Fletcher herself? 

There’s a new podcast in Cabot Cove, and it’s Murder, She Told!

Murder, She Told is an award-winning true-crime podcast created by Kristen Seavey, that dives into the lesser-known cold cases and true crime stories from New England, and beyond. 

Murder, She Told uses detailed and documentary style storytelling: weaving in original interviews with family, friends, and investigators closest to the case. 

Rooted in deep research, straightforward narratives, and the victims and their family at the center of every story, Murder, She Told will speak to any listener no matter where they call home. 

This is part one from Murder, She Told podcast’s special three-part series, The Mysterious Death of Brandon Embry that originally premiered in February 2022.
