Solicited Advice with Alison Roman

This week Alison is joined by fashion journalist Emilia Petrarca. Together they advise callers on how to pack for vacation, why button downs reign supreme and why hosting a party is the perfect opportunity to pull out all the stops outfit-wise (cashmere underwear = party dress). Alison and Emilia find the balance between comfort and style, help you up your shoe game and discuss what “age-appropriate” even means. Call 856-502-4816 to solicit advice on a future episode.

This week Alison is joined by comedian and writer Jay Jurden. They advise callers on handling friend breakups, how to make friends in your 30s and why you maybe should say yes to one (only one) happy hour drink with that coworker you'd rather...not. Jay and Alison also teach how to gracefully avoid social awkwardness, chat up someone in your run club and much, much more. Call 856-502-4816 to solicit advice on a future episode.

This week Alison is joined by internet darling, author of Central Places and the Deez Links newsletter (including the newsletter within a newsletter, Hate Reads), Delia Cai. They advise callers on everything from throwing a lowkey but not too lowkey birthday to why you should give your dinner guests a job. You’ll also learn their true feelings about Partiful, bodega flowers and how doing karaoke at the karaoke bar on Succession can go horribly wrong. Plus, Delia tells you her secret to getting invited to every party (hint…talk about a near death experience). Call 856-502-4816 to solicit advice on a future episode.

This week Alison is joined by journalist and author of “We Need to Talk About Money” Otegha Uwagba to discuss finances. Is a lab grown diamond less meaningful than a mined one? What do I do about my friend’s constant comments about my finances? How do I help a friend budget? Why do women have to spend so much on grooming? And when is that fancy farmer’s market produce worth it? Together, Otegha and Alison explore how to navigate financial differences, the ever-expensive cost of big city living, making your jewelry anti-capitalist, and much more.

This week Alison is joined by burgeoning food critic, DJ and host of every coastal elite’s favorite podcast, How Long Gone, Jason Stewart to answer your questions about dining out. What should I wear to a Michelin star restaurant? How do I feel like a main character while dining alone? How do I split the check with friends who always drink too much and order the most expensive thing? Is it ever “good” to eat at the airport? Together, Jason and Alison let you know how to minimize awkwardness when the check comes, where to find the best keto sandwiches inside the Delta lounge, and why a real, paper magazine is sexier than a kindle.

In this week’s episode of Solicited Advice, Alison is joined by very punctual comedian Robby Hoffman. Together they give a young aspiring restaurateur advice on culinary school (and being eleven years old). They help another caller find the balance between finding a job you love and one that pays the bills. Alison’s tardiness offends Robby and Robby’s favorite restaurant offends Alison, but together they bond over their shared love for a rotisserie chicken.
