Ask Ronna

We're back! It's a new year and a new season here in The Carriage House, and we're raring (roaring?) to go. And, really, could we have asked for a more fun guest to start the year, excuse me? Joining us this week is the co-host of one of our favorite podcasts, BITCH SESH. It's Danielle Schneider! After some Real Housewives chat (obviously), Danielle helps us give advice on a long distance relationship and a possible pity invitation to be in a bridal party. Plus, in a Carriage House first, pardon me, our guest Danielle asks us for some advice herself. Clearly the universe has nothing against us in 2023!

Dry January, shmy January. This month's Social Club Kiki will be one for the books. And if your New Year's Resolution is to treat yourself to some luxury, there's no better time to become a member! Join before February 1st for an invite to February's Kiki. arsocialclub.com

Now wait a minute. We've got one more week off until we return with all new episodes on January 17th, but we've got a special treat for you this week. It's another "feed drop," this time from the fabulous new podcast from Reboot, THE JEWISH BIZARRE. Dig into bloody murders, rioting mothers, anarchist parties, and pseudoscience; everything you never learned in Hebrew school and that your rabbi still doesn't want you to know. Join Dr. Eddy Portnoy of the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research, Dr. Tony Michels of UW Madison, and some other host (we're not sure what she's really adding to the proceedings, frankly) for a discussion on the strangest corners of Jewish history. Look for it wherever you get your podcasts!

And we'll see you NEXT WEEK for ALL NEW EPISODES on the Free Feed!

Yes. we're still on break for another week, but we've got a New Years treat for you! As you may know, our dear, dear friends Kulap Vilaysack and SuChin Pak host their own podcast ADD TO CART, and if you're not listening to this show, we don't know what to tell you. It's fabulous, and we wanted to do a "feed drop," as the podcast industry calls it, pardon me, to share one particular episode with you. If you loved Kulap and SuChin when they were on Ask Ronna, then you'll love Ronna as a special guest on Add To Cart. Enjoy!

Join comedian-writer-director Kulap Vilaysack and veteran journalist SuChin Pak, in a subversive take on consumerism. Each week, they have honest, revealing (sometimes TMI) conversations about all the big and little things they’re adding to, or removing from, their carts. They decide what's worth the monetary/emotional investment, and what's not. From beauty products and health trends, to celebrities and philosophies they’re passionate about, our hosts dig into anything we buy into and what it says about who we are.

In this episode, Ronna dishes on the most gorgeous and ballsy L.A. art Ku and Su have yet to see. Plus, she’s getting rejuvenated at a retreat that’s as incredible as its price tag. Prepare for the classiest cart.

We know, we know. We said we were taking a holiday break from the Free Feed...but we wanted to give you a little taste of what you're missing over on Patreon. As a post-holiday treat, here's last week's Patreon episode for you to enjoy. And if you're missing us during our Free Feed break, there's NEVER been a better time to join us on Patreon. We've got ALL NEW EPISODES EVERY FRIDAY...even during our break. patreon.com/askronna

From Patreon 150: It's Christmas Eve...Eve! Look, we know you have to bundle up, go get in the car, look at the traffic, and figure out how long it'll take you to get out of town (and then add an hour), but you better believe we're going to give you an incredible episode before you go. First off is a cliffhanger about how and when to tell a small child about an estranged grandparent. Then we have a ball helping a young doctor in med school compile his residency rank list. We're biased to Boston, excuse me, but what about Chicago, San Jose, or Minneapolis? Or even Columbus? Listen and find out!

The December Social Club / Holiday Kiki is tomorrow, and we're beside ourselves with excitement. We hope to see you there! But if you're not a member, or didn't buy one of our fabulous gift boxes, we have good news for you: we're now accepting members for January! Join before January 1st at arsocialclub.com for an invite to the first Kiki of 2023.

We did it! It's our 150th Episode, if you can believe it. We can't tell you how grateful we are to still be a part of your lives after all this time, and we'll be here for 150 more episodes...or until (Bryan) breaks out of The Carriage House like the Kool-Aid Man. After some quick follow-ups, including one from over 2 years ago, pardon me, we give advice on avoiding making comparisons to others when you're a new mother, how to deal with a neighbor who's probably a grifter, and navigating living with an ex 10 years after the break-up. It's a fabulous way to end the season!

Speaking of, this is our Season 3 finale, so we'll be taking a little break from the Free Feed. But we'll be back in January with all new episodes. And of course if you miss us too much, remember that we'll be posting ALL NEW EPISODES on Patreon every Friday throughout our break. If that's not a great excuse to join us on Patreon we don't know what is. patreon.com/askronna

Now wait a minute. Have we got an incredible guest this week or what? He's a real dazzler, a sunflower in a place full of weeds, and Ronna wants to pinch his cheeks this instant. Joining in The Carriage House is actor and comedian Jeff Hiller! You know Jeff from literally a million things, but you can see him now on SOMEBODY SOMEWHERE on HBO Max and AMERICAN HORROR STORY: NYC on Hulu.

Jeff helps us give advice on a burning karaoke jealousy (an INSTANT classic Ask Ronna letter), how to embrace changes in a friendship over time, and tips on checking grumpy behavior at 31. 

December's AR Social Club may be closed, but we're now accepting members for January! Dry January's for the birds! So start your year off right with a spectacular curated cocktail from the best in the biz. Join before January 1st to get an invite to 2023's first Kiki! arsocialclub.com

Now wait a minute. The holidays are fast approaching, and soon enough we'll be straddling Christmas and New Year, much to (Bryan)'s delight. But have we got a treat for you this week or what? Joining us in The Carriage House is our new friend and comedian extraordinaire Chris Estrada! You can catch Chris on his acclaimed Hulu series THIS FOOL, which was just renewed for a second season, pardon me. He's an utter delight!

Chris joins us to give advice on a smelly carpool mess, a professional name dilemma, and a circle of gift-giving friends caught in a Triangle of Sadness. As our new throw pillows say, "you must laff!"

Today is the LAST DAY to join the AR Social Club for December! Join before 11:59pm ET to get an invite to the Kiki. And remember that both members AND those who buy a one-off box will get Kiki invites along with anyone who buys our fabulous gift sets at ronnukah.com . The Holiday Kiki is shaping up to be a HUGE celebration! Be there! arsocialclub.com

Now wait a minute. If you thought Ronnukah was our last hurrah of the year, you've got another think coming, excuse me. We couldn't be happier to welcome a living legend into The Carriage House this week as we're joined by the delightful and hilarious Patton Oswalt! Of course you know Patton as one of the most gifted comedians working today (his new Netflix special WE ALL SCREAM is streaming now). And if you needed a reminder, his acting resume is a mile long, from THE KING OF QUEENS to RATATOUILLE (a Ronna favorite) to his most recent award-winning film I LOVE MY DAD.

Patton helps us give advice on some major brother-in-law drama, talking about an untraditional relationship with friends, and throwing a party in a co-op.

Ronnukah was a huge success, pardon me. We've heard from so many of you already that you've added Ronna (& Bryan)'s suggestions to your collective carts. But we couldn't be happier with our own Ronnukah offerings this season, including a gorgeous personalized Kinto tumbler, ultra luxe drinking chocolate with Irish Cream and Créme de Menthe, Ronna's Custom Holiday Glühwein, and more! Find it all at ronnukah.com

And, needless to say, December's AR Social Club Kiki will be one for the books. Join before December 6th to get an invite to the holiday party of the year. And don't forget that single social club boxes are available and make absolutely fabulous gifts...and both the sender and the receiver receive invites to the Kiki! arsocialclub.com

Ho ho ho! No, we're not referring to three (Bryan)s. It's the episode you've been waiting for all year: Ronnukah is finally here! And we've got a TON in store for you this holiday season. In addition to our usual gift suggestions for all price points (this episode covers gifts $250 and beyond...for those who want to splurge), we've got some VERY exciting Ask Ronna gift sets that couldn't be more chic if they tried, pardon me. And they're all available in one easy place: ronnukah.com

We've got gift sets featuring the most transformative hot chocolate Ronna's ever had, plenty of boozy holiday treats, a personalized tumbler from favorite Carriage House brand Kinto, Ronna's spin on Glühwein (with mulling spices from Rare Tea Cellar, pardon me), and more! All make incredible gifts, and all are available at ronnukah.com

And if that wasn't enough, we have an extra treat for our December AR Social Club members. Because an AR Club box would make an excellent gift (obviously), we're doing something different and revealing what comes inside December's box early: you'll be getting a special champagne that redefines holiday luxury along with TWO stunning champagne flutes from which to drink it. And for those who've asked us for a non-alcoholic option, we're offering a version of this club box with an alcohol free champagne. And each box also comes with Ronna's extra special family latke recipe along with some other goodies we'll keep a surprise.

The deadline to join AR Social Club for December has been extended to December 6th. Remember that you can also buy single club boxes and send them out as gifts, and everyone who gets a box in December, whether it be as a club member or as a single gift, will be invited to the Kiki December 28th!
