You have questions. I have answers. (And so does Bryan.) A weekly podcast hosted by @RonnaGlickman and @BryanSafi. Every Tuesday, wherever you get your podcasts. Send us your questions at [email protected]
Notified by text mere minutes beforehand, (Bryan) found out that not only was Ronna out today, but that his co-host was going to be someone he owes quite a bit of money to. Luckily he was able to put this awkwardness aside and welcome to The Carriage House our dear, dear friend Naomi Ekperigin!
Of course you know Naomi from her podcast COUPLES THERAPY, which, if you're not listening to, shame on you. But did you know Naomi is also a fancy Hollywood writer? Look for her new show ST. DENIS MEDICAL this fall on NBC!
And Naomi can be seen this November in Los Angeles at Dynasty Typewriter opening for none other than...Bryan Safi! Go to bryansafi.com for tickets and info!
(Bryan) and Naomi give advice this week on dealing with social anxiety on the job and what to gift a father for his second marriage at age 75.

Now wait a minute. (Bryan) is off conquering Hollywood, as he's wont to do these days, but don't worry; we've got someone who's just as glamorous, just as charming, and just as Hollywood as our dear (Bryan). It's none other than our dear friend Paul Scheer!
Of course you know Paul from his countless TV and film credits as well as his fabulous podcast HOW DID THIS GET MADE, which he hosts along with June Diane Raphael and Jason Mantzoukas. But he's also an instant New York Times Bestselling Author, pardon me. His book, JOYFUL RECOLLECTIONS OF TRAUMA, is an incredible read and available wherever you get your books!

You know Grace from her fabulous podcast THIS MIGHT GET WEIRD with Mamrie Hart. She's also the voice of Cindy Bear on JELLYSTONE on Max.
Grace (& Bryan) give some GREAT advice this week on a torrid love affair gone awry, keeping professional accomplishments from a family member, and how to deal with a partner who takes on the local accent of wherever they travel.

All new episodes are coming back soon, but until then, we're letting Yadvina grant you access to another episode from behind the Patreon wall, this one from August 2022.
(Bryan)'s back in The Carriage House! He hasn't listened to Scarlett Curtis's Free Feed episode yet, but there's just SOMETHING about her that rubs him the wrong way (we have no idea what it could be, but Naomi and Cynthia might know, pardon me).
After a thorough chat about THE DEEP END, the Hulu documentary about Teal Swan, we answer a cliffhanger about a brother and his socially anxious girlfriend causing a rift in the family. Then we end with some follow-ups, including one for the ages from our Lonely in Madrid letter writer that you've got to hear. This is the kind of episode that you'll want to listen to while walking down the cobblestone roads of Spain, excuse me.

On this week's Yadvina's Keys adventure, we go back to April 2021 with Patreon 61. And the most fun part of this trip in the Time Machine is that we get to hear Ronna (& Bryan)'s first reaction to EMILY IN PARIS Season 1, which at the time was all the rage on Netflix. Here's how Patreon 61 was described originally.
"OK, there's no need for alarm. Ronna's having some eye issues today, which explains her Telly Savalas glasses. But she's off to the doctor after the recording, and no, (Bryan) won't be driving her there, excuse me. Until then, how about a Carriage House Catch-Up? After an in depth analysis of the gloriously bad EMILY IN PARIS, Ronna (& Bryan) give some advice on a VERY interesting situation involving childhood friends, a pathological liar, and her wedding. This is a good one!"
On a related note, don't forget that we've got some watchalongs of the new fourth season of EMILY IN PARIS on Patreon right now. It's like watching your favorite show while cuddled up with your best friends on The Carriage House sofa. Join us at the Romper Room level or above for access! patreon.com/askronna

One of our DEAREST friends of The Carriage House, Great British Bake-Off winner Edd Kimber, has a new book out soon. SMALL BATCH COOKIES, the follow-up to his smash hit best-selling SMALL BATCH BAKES, comes out August 29 in the UK and September 24 in the US.
SMALL BATCH COOKIES is for when you don’t want to bake just for the big celebrations but also for the small moments in your everyday life; a single cookie when a craving hits or a batch of six when friends or family have popped in to visit.
To celebrate Edd's upcoming book, we wanted to do a Carriage House Encore of the last time Edd joined us. This episode is from October 2022 when Edd joined us to talk about his first book SMALL BATCH BAKES and helped us give advice on a marriage dominated by a hygiene problem and a midwife who doesn't want to mix business and pleasure.
And don't forget to pre-order SMALL BATCH COOKIES, out August 29 in the UK and September 24 in the US!
