Ask Ronna

Now wait a minute. Our guest this week, who's quickly become one of our best friends, pardon me, is quite the little dealmaker. Just ask her landlord! Joining us is the delightful Chloe Radcliffe!

You know Chloe from her numerous stand up appearances as well as in Steven Soderbergh's COMMAND Z. She's been named one of Just For Laughs' New Faces of 2025 and will appear in Bradley Cooper's new film IS THIS THING ON? You can also catch her in Denver tonight at Denver Comedy Underground as well as in New York this Friday 12/12 at Ars Nova.

Chloe joins us to give advice on what happens when a friend refuses to give you a hot guy's phone number and whether or not you need to shed your quirky ways as you age.

If any tickets are left to LONELY HEARTS LIVE in New York, you better grab them quick! We'll be there Saturday February 7th at the Bell House in Brooklyn, and it's guaranteed to be a Valentine's event to remember!

Ronna (& Bryan) are off this week celebrating Thanksgiving in style, but Yadvina has been gracious enough to let us borrow her keys for another sneak peek inside The Carriage House.

This week we're going back just a few weeks to one of the more risqué cliffhangers we've had in a while. It involves retired neighbors and a mistakenly opened personal item, and then it's on to some VERY good advice on how to hit the ground running after a long-haul flight. Did we give advice? Let's just say we were "locked and loaded" for this episode!

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, and we'll be back next week with all new episodes!

Ugh, did Ronna have a journey to get to today's recording session or what? After a quick medical procedure in New York, she had an absolute SAGA getting back to Toronto in time for Steve's Halloween festivities. But she made it, and she's here with (Bryan) for some amazing follow-ups from our one straight male listener from last week as well as the woman who's sister (named 'None of Your Business") wanted nothing to do with a family wedding.
