    Sausalito Surprise!
    I live in a west coast city near Sausalito (I’m sure Ronna and Bryan can guess which one!). Every time I visit Sausalito I tell whomever I’m with about the band in LOST IN TRANSLATION and say “We are…Sausalito” just like the woman in the movie. I was so delighted when Bryan also did this on a recent episode, because NO ONE ever remembers it when I say it. I’m not Banana Pancakes and I don’t eat them, but I make Trader Joe’s protein pancakes every weekend and add blueberries to them. I would happy to make breakfast for Bryan whenever he’s in the Bay. (Ronna, too, but I know she hates Trader Joe’s, except for the peppermint Joe-Joe’s.) Since this is a review, I’ll also mention that this is my favorite podcast of all time and the highlight of my week (Tuesday and Friday - of course I’m a top-tier Patreon subscriber as well).

    She clocks you
    5 stars - Ronna absolutely clocked me when I tried to sneak a $0 cameo-esque wedding shoutout request by her. She’s always a step ahead of you.
  • Banana Pancakes!!!
    Who could leave anything but five stars?
    Ronna and Bryan saved my life - more or less literally! They gave me advice that helped me get my life back on track after a life-changing illness. A year later, I’m finally better enough I can leave this absolutely loving and delighted review - I wish I could crack wiser, but I simply must be earnest since they helped me so much. Grab a dirty martini, put on your most fabulous housedress and/or feather boa, and be ready for your life to be changed.

    Precision is Key
    My favorite episodes are when Ronna and Bryan will tear into a parking lot letter and its writer.

    I used to love this podcast and was an avid listener. I took a break for about two years and came back to it today. On the Feb 25 episode the guest made flippant comments about Hamas coming to find Michael Rapaport. 1 year into a genocide led by the 15th most powerful military in the world (170k active military and 465k reserve soldiers) against a colonized people living in conditions worse than those of Jim Crow and Apartheid South Africa. Keeping his comment in the show gives credence to the unjust war being perpetrated by that state against a people who have the right to fight against oppression. Needless to say, I will be sticking with Bryan’s other podcasts and have unsubscribed.

    Marry me, Bryan?
    This podcast has everything: thoughtful life advice, great guests, a wise intellectual from Marblehead, and the witty and whacky smoke show that is Bryan. To say I’m attached to Bryan is an understatement. What else could a guy ask for? My fantasy is to see him on that one grimey app the next time he’s in the Providence RI area, meet up so he can have his way with these cheeks, and we have a whirlwind love affair because we just can’t get enough of each other. The smile, the humor, the thoughtful yet outrageous life advice, the work ethic, the sultry voice… 🫦 I highly recommend this podcast, if for no other reason than to hear this sexy and sassy fruit seduce you simply with the sound of his voice slicing through the cacophony of a Bostonian grandmothah. Real spank bank material.

    The podcast that keeps on giving!
    Years later I still think about, laugh about, and talk about Ronna describing a necrophiliac working at a funeral home-adjacent hair salon as being "too close to the candy store" - 5 stars only.

    Alev for President!
    I almost fell over while on a walk today hearing Ronna and BrYan sing the praises of my sweet baby sister Alev, (free feed episode 242)who of course should have run for President! I was waiting for my mention...I suppose THAT will be for our Patreon members. 💋💋Sincerely! Emel (pronounced ML) AKA, Alev's Sister

    Five stars only
    I don’t know how Bryan expected anyone to be present for the episode after he kept mentioning Dante’s and where they were going.

    The love is tough. The advice is smart. The style is impeccable. 5 stars only.

    Don’t listen to this show. Just don’t.
    Long time - first time, -2x a week, Patreon - even a Patreon subscriber to the the satellite pod, Attitudes. When Ronna called Drew Barrymore the real life Jiminy Glick…. Spit take at my desk at desk… 🪦. Here’s why you shouldn’t listen to my personal style and living pod; it’s mine and you’ll dilute the brand. Why am I a influencer with my friends in Austin Texes? Because my cologne is Santa Maria Novella Tobacco, my pullover is Loro Piana and candles are Trvdon. My life mantra is now, “Do you want to be right or do you want to be affective?” Thank you Alex Edelman (ep. 114) - so if the unwashed masses listen to my style bible, I might appear less inherently chic, informed and wise. So don’t.

    Love these two hilarious cuties. Sometimes wish Ronna would let others speak more. She talks over Bryan and guests quite a lot. I can hit fast forward multiple times and she’s still talking. 😂

    Chat RGB
    I’ve had enough. Every Tuesday and Friday, my favorite socialites and advice givers provide us with the most poignant tips in navigating this world, and after I’m done agreeing and laughing, I get frustrated that more of my friends don’t listen! This is where all of those cult docs should come in handy, as I need to convince them all to jump on board lest I continue to hear them repeat the same mistakes over and over. If only I was an engineer, I could code a Chat RGB (Ronna Glickman and Bryan) so any time we need a quick quip we could simply type it in and receive wisdom from our excellences. P.S. eternal thanks for your post election episode. The combo of Ronna impersonating Trump and Bryan talking about Jurassic Park is all I needed - well that and the reminder to spread cookie cheer among my closest friends. Please provide us with your final review Bryan!

    In any event
    I loved the sleuthing involved with the math problem of figuring out whether the person was 30 or 32! Vanessa Bayer needs to be in the Ronna and Bryan murder mystery show.

    Suggestion
    Day one listener and CHIP and IG follower. Ronna please let guests talk. The Paul Scheer episode was very tough to listen to because he was only able to get a handful of sentences out without being interrupted or straight up talked over.
  • Mrl PA
    5 Stahs well deserved
    Ronna and Bryan are delightful hosts. Truly wonderful podcast.
  • shinychay
    First and only review for the best podcast EVAH
    Ronna and Lady Bryanne have MADE MY YEAR. I’ve never binged so hard, laughed (lahffed?) with such joy, and tenderly cried as I do when listening to these two and their extinguished guests (or not, as I’m a proud member of Bryan’s Romper Room so enjoy Patreon episodes as well). Each episode is a delight, they are fun, playful, heartfelt and the advice is really, really, f-ing good (sorry, Ronna - if this is read aloud I hope Bryan is reading it). What I would give to have Ronna and Bryan in my “real” life… 💛💛💛 Stop reading reviews and just listen already! You will only be disappointed you didn’t start sooner.

    Ronna (and Bryan) in Paris
    If only we could watch Ronna and Bryan traverse Paris in couture and cavort with Antoine, flirt with Gabriel, and drink champagne with Champère! Wouldn’t Sylvie’s wrists go wild watching Ronna walk in? Well, the watch-along is the next best thing. Can’t wait to toast the inauguration of the Ronna’s Chunkies tier with gorgeous champagne and a good laugh. Kiss kiss (or Bisous bisous!)

    5 stars only - each & every day!
    When I am trying not to online shop at night I occupy my fingers by rating Ronna & Bryan 5 stars over and over again! What are you waiting for? Give it up for the not only the best advice but the best style, decorum, humor - the best duo out there! They give it for free, the least you could do is pay them in stars!⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️ -JC

    The Only Podcast You will ever need in your life!
    Do you have a question? Well they have your answer. And try as you might Ronna will always see through the fog and get to the real question in the “question. “ So approach with caution but don’t be scared. Our guiding lights Ronna and Bryan will treat you with the utmost care and tenderness but with Ronna turn fist and wisdom and Bryans salacious ideas you’re going to be hooked. Cancel your weekend plans and grab a cup of ask Ronna coffee (yes! they have a legit coffee brand) shades of vanilla, excuse me, and start from the beginning. You! Will! Be! Hooked! !!!Ask Ronna Army!!

    Have a little laugh
    Lonely on a Saturday night? Need a little laugh on a Sunday Morning? Mid week pick me up? Don’t mind if I do. Ronna and Bryan feel like old friends. This podcast has pulled me through many of lonely nights and sad days. I listen even on my best days. Get with it or get lost. Five Stahs and Five Stahs Only
  • Crbpdx
    Finally leaving my five stahs
    The platform I use doesn’t let me leave reviews, so I hopped over to this platform just to leave my five stahs. Thank you both for keeping me company during long walks deep in the pandemic—so glad for the wise council and the laughs.

    Mighty Ronna-dite
    Cape Ann’s own Miss Havisham, Ronna Glickman, draws back the veil and invites us to sit at her knees as she dispenses sage wisdom, that may hurt, but like Pip, we will be better for in the end. Ronna’s Estella, is Bryan Safi, is also pretty good when he’s not distracted by popper-induced euphoria and hallucinationing Chas Dean in his room, haunting him like some modern-day Lestat

    Scarlett Curtis
    Am I the only person that has had enough of Scarlett Curtis? I would love to hear more of Casey Wilson/Danielle Schneider. 5 stars only.
  • Brick Layers Unite!!!
    Five stars but
    Ronna, stop interrupting. It’s too much and makes the episodes drag on on. Intro song. Max ten minutes of into convo. Bring in guest and mac ten minutes chatting. Then let’s get to the questions. No interrupting. You could do three questions if you just get right to it.

    Five stars, five stars only - listening to Ronna and Lady Bryanne navigate listener woes is the highlight of my week as a loyal carriage house member and instagram follower. As a former resident of Beverly, Salem and Beachmont (excuse me) - Ronna’s dulcet tones bring me back to my 20’s passing the flea market at building 19 7/8 on the Lynnway en route to the beach on Manchester by the Sea or Nahant. My only request for 2024 is for more Jason Mantzoukas. Get well soon Ronnababy 💖 kisskiss

    Five stars, five stars only, five stars only constantly
    I have never missed an episode from the very jump, be it free feed or Patreon. I have written in to Ronna (and Bryan) multiple times, but only prior to the publication of the Bible of Naomi’s Style Guide, and I wholly respect their wise decision never to answer (or probably even read) any of my desperate parking lot ramblings, though such justifiable avoidance left me to my own underwhelming devices. I don’t even want to admit where that has left me. What I wouldn’t do for just a moment of Shtetl Clairvoyance™️ to rectify my broken life. Thank you, Ronna (& Bryan) for all you do for your Carriage House community, and I can just pray for enough clarity to one day formulate a question with enough import, precision, and brevity to be worthy of your unparalleled (though never sage) advice.

    Critical, funny, warm streak of common sense
    I started with “Beverly and Ronna” years ago. I am a Ronna - always was, always will be. When that podcast stopped I was sad until… a NEW podcast! With RONNA!!! Ronna is a world builder and she brings everyone in. Even when you can hear Paul F. Tompkins or Scott Aukerman struggling) and failing) to keep a straight face, or Brian lobs a helicopter bomb, Ronna goes beyond ‘Yes and’ - Ronna is a universe. “Ask Ronna” combines caricature, interview, talk show, travel, Insider Show Business - and most surprisingly, tough and compassionate and often funny advice. The mix of genres augment, contrast, complement, roast each other. You never know what will come next except that it will be deft and layered. This is a ‘Flawless, excuse me!’ place to visit.

    It has NOT escaped my notice that Ronna is ailing during PRIDE! How convenient. Seriously though I wish all the best and most beautiful petite plume pajama.
