Ask Ronna

Let's go back in time. Back...to the front! As a little bonus treat, join us in the Time Machine as we revisit the earliest days of Ask Ronna. This week we go back to the tail end of 2019. It's just Ronna (& Bryan) in The Carriage House as they answer listener questions and prep for the new year. They give advice on how to confront noisy neighbors, how to make New Year’s special if you're staying in, and how to overcome imposter syndrome in a new job. Plus, Ronna walks you step-by-step through the Swiss First Class experience. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Now wait a minute, We've been chasing this particular guest for a while, and when we finally got her in The Carriage House, we knew we'd made a great decision, excuse me. Joining us this week is the utterly delightful Mandell Maughan!  You know Mandell from shows like ME, MYSELF, AND I and RESIDENT ALIEN. And, of course, one of our favorites, BAJILLION DOLLAR PROPERTIE$. You can catch her in January in the upcoming Netflix comedy FREE BERT. Mandell helps us give advice on spending Christmas alone and how to handle a spouse who might not have the best dining etiquette. Join us for THE Ask Ronna social event of the year, LIVE and in person in New York! LONELY HEARTS LIVE is coming to the Bell House in Brooklyn on Saturday, February 7th. If you missed us in Boston, here's your chance to be part of Carriage House history. It is NOT to be missed!

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! And don't forget that tickets to Ask Ronna Lonely Hearts LIVE in New York are on sale now! This is THE Ask Ronna social event of the year, and it's your chance to join us in person on February 7th.
