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]
We're going back to December 2023 with this week's peek inside The Patreon Carriage House. If you're not already a member, you're missing out! Join us for bonus episodes, ad-free Free Feeds, and, of course, the coveted Shades of Vanilla Newsletter! patreon.com/askronna
From December 29, 2023: Have we made it through the holidays? (Bryan)'s in AI mode, but we have indeed made it through, and had a LOVELY time, pardon me. We've got a great last show of the year as we deep dive on the Senate staffer sex scandal and do some comments on the dinosaurs' final days as well as all the ribbon mail we've been getting. Then we give advice on how to remain supportive of "foolish" wedding plans and whether it's appropriate for a 34 year old gay man to have full-on Shirley Temple ringlets.

Now wait a minute. Here we are with the last Free Feed of the year, and Ronna (& Bryan) are in a dispute. Did (Bryan) actually want Ronna to join him in Milan for the holidays, or was an invitation extended because of guilt? They go at it, but luckily we've got the perfect mediator: it's the absolutely delightful Casey Wilson!
Of course you know Casey as the co-host of BITCH SESH at its new home, Garbage World. You can also see her as co-host of THE GREAT AMERICAN BAKING SHOW on Roku.
After helping negotiate the peace treaty for the Glickman-Safi Dispute of 2024, she helps us give advice on a pair of UK-based love quandaries.
We'll see you in the New Year with ALL NEW Free Feeds!

Well, here we are. We recorded this episode the morning after last week's not so super Tuesday, so we're feeling riled up. We've got LOTS to talk about, excuse me.
But then we move on to greener pastures with a veritable feast of follow-ups. We hear about the mother in a relationship with the Porsche owner, the lesbian romance author, the mowing maniac, the fruit sperm donor, and an egg donor from four years ago. After the week we've all had, it's nice to reconnect with old friends!
Speaking of connection, we couldn't be more excited about our upcoming Ronnukah LIVE Cabaret Show on December 7th. We all need the laughs, the community, and the good cheer. Join us for what promises to be an evening to remember! Tickets at askronnalive.com

We've got a treat for you this week to celebrate the peak of Spooky Season. It's a trip inside the Patreon Carriage House for one of the most talked about mysteries we've ever had. There was a LOT of chatter about this when it first aired in August of 2021, and what better way to get into the Halloween spirit than with this!
You know we love a good mystery in The Carriage House. We have GOT to get to this chilling cliffhanger that's worthy of its own Josh Mankiewicz DATELINE story. It involves the mysterious disappearance of a local dog walker and we are in desperate need of more information! After that, we give our advice on using a shared space that another person seems to have claimed as their own. With Ronna well rested after her doubles tournament win, and (Bryan) high on sugar from his day-late birthday cake, we've got a lot to say this week!
And if you enjoyed this peak into the Patreon Carriage House, we'd love to welcome you as a full member! Join us for bonus episodes, surprises, and of course the coveted Shades of Vanilla Newsletter. patreon.com/askronna
