Ask Ronna

Look, we know it's exciting. We know this is our first Free Feed of the new season with a special guest, excuse me. And we know we're back to gifting some fabulous giveaways to a lucky letter writer, pardon me...but Ronna has to address something with (Bryan) immediately, and it involves the literally dozens of messages she's received asking about (Bryan)'s skincare regimen. Inquiring minds want to know! But we're also SO lucky to have with us as our first guest in Season 3, pardon me, our dear, dear friend Michaela Watkins! You know her from WEREWOLVES WITHIN, CASUAL, SNL, the upcoming Hulu series THE DROPOUT, and about a million other things. Michaela joins us today to give advice on a rollercoaster of an engagement, a husband's terrifying sneeze, and a missed birthday.

The holidays are officially in full swing, and nothing will comfort you more than a delicious cup of Ronnukah Blend or Vienna in Winter. Both of our limited time holiday blends are available at askronnacoffee.com through the end of the year!

And don't forget the FABULOUS gift boxes curated by our dear friend Conor at Fiasco Wine and Spirits in Brooklyn. Our Suds 'n Spuds pack is selling like hotcakes, and you can't get any classier than the Black Manhattan or SuperGay Martini gift sets. All are available at negronna.com

Happy Thanksgivukkah! There's so much happening in The Carriage House this week! Thanksgiving, of course, is Thursday. Hanukkah begins on Sunday. And Steve's nursery is in the process of being redesigned with the most gorgeous De Gournay wallpaper you've ever seen, excuse me. And, if that weren't enough, we're back on the Free Feed with our first Carriage House Catch-Up since August! After some great follow-ups and reviews (five stars only, pardon me), we give advice on what to do when you hate your husband's dogs, how to deal with a real wet blanket at work, and navigating a throuple's body odor issue.

Ronnukah is still in full swing, and that means our delicious Ask Ronna Coffee holiday blends are ready to order! Enjoy a rich, chocolatey Ronnukah Blend or a crisp, cinnamon Vienna in Winter. They're a perfect addition to any holiday and can be found, along with our classic Carriage House Blend and Shades of Vanilla, at askronnacoffee.com

Need a beverage with more than caffeine? Our Ronna-approved gift sets from Conor at Fiasco Wine and Spirits are perfect! Of course there's the Suds 'n Spuds package, with the most fabulous bottle of champagne along with chocolate goodies from See's Candies and Ronna's family latke recipe...but there's also the Black Manhattan / Old Fashioned set and the SuperGay Vodka Martini set. And what holiday table is complete without a gorgeous bottle of Negronna at the center? Get them today at negronna.com

We're baaack! And just in time for our most anticipated episode of the year. It's Ronnukah! After Ronna drops an announcement for the ages (to say she had her hands full during her time off is an understatement), we give our suggestions for the perfect holiday gift at any price point. In fact, we have so much to say and share that we had to split Ronnukah into TWO episodes, excuse me. So if you missed us during our hiatus from the Free Feed, you'll get double your pleasure on our return this week! Happy Ronnukah!

And video of the entire episode is available exclusively to our Sauna Privileges members on Patreon. Do you want to watch (Bryan) model his gift suggestions? Become a Sauna Privileges member today!

Yes, Ronna had a busy time off...but that included spending time in the lab again. We couldn't be happier to announce not one, but TWO holiday coffee blends available this season! Of course, we're bringing back last season's Ronnukah Blend, the rich, chocolate hazelnut, full-bodied organic mocha that was such a hit in The Carriage House. It's still the only Hanukkah inspired coffee on the market, pardon me. But, as if that weren't enough, we've also got a BRAND NEW holiday blend. Fresh out of the lab, we're pleased to offer you Vienna in Winter. This cinnamon-dusted confection will transport you to the snowy streets of Vienna and its famous winter markets at the most magnificent time of year. And the smell? Divine. Combine our new holiday blends with our delicious stand-bys, Carriage House Blend and Shades of Vanilla, and you've got some of the most delicious coffee around and an AMAZING gift for the holidays. Visit askronnacoffee.com to order yours!

Here it is! Another little bite-sized portion of our most recent Patreon for you to nibble on this week. To hear the rest, join us on Patreon!

And don't forget, next week Ronna (& Bryan) return to the Free Feed with Ronnukah 2021! We've got our gift recommendations ready for you, and if you have any gifting questions or ideas, be sure to let us know at [email protected]

As for the Amuse-Bouche on the Free Feed this week, we let you know that we've got some exciting things in store in The Carriage House this holiday season. Ronna's been in the lab and we're putting our little elves to work to make sure you all have a special holiday courtesy of Ronna (& Bryan), excuse me. And if that weren't enough, we've also got a fabulous show! After a follow-up from the young lovers from Patreon 87, which leads to a second round of advice, we finish up with advice on what to do when you think your brother-in-law is lazy and immature.

It's time for another little amuse-bouche Patreon preview, but be sure to listen for the VERY special announcement at the top. We think you'll like it, excuse me.

Now, wait a minute...anyone watching on video will have to pardon the darkness at the top of the show. We're just doing a dramatic reveal of Ronna's (& Bryan)'s Halloween costumes for this year, and, trust us, it'll be worth it! See if you can guess what they are before the lights come up (longtime listeners of the show have an advantage here). After the big reveal and a quick catch-up, we're off to the races with some advice on an uncertain and ambiguous relationship and what to do when a good friend has chosen to stop wearing deodorant. It'll be a great way to start your Halloween weekend!

This is just a taste of what's on the menu over on Patreon. Wanna eat the whole meal? Join us on Patreon! patreon.com/askronna

It's time for another Free Feed preview of our most recent Patreon episode!

We're beyond excited about Halloween here in Marblehead. (Bryan) is getting his Chucky costume ready, though he has a second costume he's preparing specifically for The Carriage House, excuse me. Until then, we've got another absolutely fantastic show for you this week! After we gab about Phantom of the Opera and the travesty of banned American sprinkles in the UK, we give advice on a pair of husband related questions: how to handle a video game-playing spouse and what to do when you feel as though your significant other isn't carrying his weight around the house.

Now wait a minute. The reaction to this past week's Patreon episode was INCREDIBLE, pardon me, and we couldn't agree more. Was Paul F. Tompkins a delight? Of course he was. Was our discussion of the Bad Art Friend from the New York Times everything we said it would be and more? Of course it was. And was our Halloween Candy Tasting a high/low treat of monumental proportions? You better believe it was.

Here's a little taste of what you missed if you aren't a Carriage House member. Wanna hear the whole thing? Why wouldn't you! Join us on Patreon to listen to (or watch!) what can only be described as an episode for the ages.

It's another amuse-bouche this week to give you a taste of our most recent episode over on Patreon! This is an excerpt from this past weekend, "The Twink with a Clairvoyant Streak" (Patreon 87). As the title suggests, there's a lot to talk about.

The town of Marblehead may be making a racket outside The Carriage House today with their tree trimming crew (which Ronna doesn't need since she has her own people to do that, pardon me), but that's not stopping us from hosting an absolutely fabulous show. After some helpful tips about shopping in Europe and some clarification on whether or not Ronna is mentioned in the Pandora Papers, we offer some advice on what to do after a very awkward OB-GYN visit, how to let a friend know you want to keep the relationship platonic, and navigating the insecurities of young love.

Wanna hear the rest? Of course! Head over to patreon.com/askronna to get this episode in its entirety.

Hello, dears! This week we thought we'd try something a little different on the Free Feed. Here's an excerpt from our latest Patreon episode from this past weekend, "The (W)hole Shebang" (Patreon 86). Think of it as an amuse-bouche to whet your appetite for the main course, pardon me.

Ronna doesn't even know where to begin this week. She and (Bryan) are still up in arms about last week's "best friend" letter, but they eventually work it out and get to some VERY interesting questions! After several follow-ups, including the best P.S. we've EVER received, Ronna (& Bryan) give advice on a delicate situation involving a stranger's cremated remains and a supportive mother who found text messages on her son's phone that suggest he may be questioning his sexuality.
