Ask Ronna

Now wait a minute. We've got a sherbet sensation of an episode today. We've received so many juicy follow-ups over the past several weeks that we wanted to dedicate an entire episode to them..and we've got a LOT to say! Our follow-ups this week come from the woman who was debating moving her family to Michigan (for millions of dollars), a woman inspired by our friend Leora in Israel, the guy who was worried about being an adult child of divorce, a Dooze McBOOZE of a follow-up from the woman whose boyfriend paid for his younger female friend to meet them all in Thailand, and, finally, the woman who's having a dueling wedding with her sister-in-law. Juicy!London, we're back! We've been invited to be part of the 2023 London Podcast Festival, and we're excited to announce that we'll be back at Kings Place on Friday 15 September at 21:30 for an ALL NEW SHOW! More advice, more games, more prizes, more amazing guests. Don't miss it!

Now wait a minute. We're joined this week by none other than Mr. Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney: it's Mike Sweeney!

For decades he's worked with Conan O'Brien as a writer and producer and is responsible for, quite literally, thousands of hours of entertainment, pardon me. We're so excited he's here, and you should immediately go listen to his podcast INSIDE CONAN where he, along with Jessie Gaskell, will guide you through 28 years of late night memories. Mike helps us give advice on getting a friend to change their behavior and learning to live with the loss of attention from a sibling after they have a child of their own.We're already talking about September at AR Social Club, if you can believe it.
