We'll be joined by special guests Sue Perkins, Edd Kimber, and Gearóid Farrelly, pardon me, and we've got advice to give and prizes to give away. You won't want to miss it! And if you can't be there in person, you can still stream it from home! Go to askronnalive.com for all the details.

Summer's in full swing, and there's no better way to class up your summer barbecues than with a top notch bar to impress your guests. Join AR Social Club for August to ring in the dog days of summer right. arsocialclub.com

173 - Classic Cliffhangers: June Is Bustin' Out All Over Jun 20, 2023

Show notes

Now wait a minute. Ronna doesn't know what's more horrifying: that (Bryan) has put ice in his Negroni or that he thinks the title of this episode means something VERY different than what she thinks it means. In any event, have we got some fun in store for you this week or what? It's time for some Classic Cliffhangers, and these cliffhangers really shocked us. First up is Liesel the frog killer, which has been one of the most talked about cliffhangers in Ask Ronna history. Then it's onto the Canadian grifter who can't follow any rules. Of course we also have to talk about the Song of Takumi and Rizzo, and then we end on Rick the ***hole. Ronna (& Bryan) have got a LOT to say about these!

And as a little bonus, you can watch this entire Classic Clifhangers episode on YouTube! Just go to our channel at Ask Ronna. https://www.youtube.com/@AskRonna
