Solicited Advice with Alison Roman

This week, Alison is joined by Raven Smith, known to many as the funniest man on Instagram (he is also a columnist for Vogue and the author of Trivial Pursuits and Men). How do you invite your friends to hang out… without their partners? How do you tolerate a flat out mean sister-in-law? Alison and Raven discuss. They also cover surefire playlists for hosting, what wine they bring as party guests, and cooking with salt. Call 856-502-4816 to solicit advice on a future episode. Production by Redd Rock Music.

Alison is joined this week by Tinx - author, podcast host of It’s Me, Tinx, and beloved advice giver. They respond to questions from callers about screen addiction (it’s real), how to reinforce self-confidence in girls, and whether greek yogurt is a swap for sour cream (not on a baked potato, it’s not). Tinx and Alison learn they share the same secret to a successful dinner party - and that they have very different martini orders. Call 856-502-4816 to solicit advice on a future episode.

In this week’s episode, Alison hosts one of her favorite podcast hosts - Sam Fragoso of Talk Easy with Sam Fragoso. The talk with Sam (as always) is easy, but some questions from callers are hard. Can family with opposing politics leave the bullshit behind for a wedding the weekend before the presidential election? Maybe, if they vote early (PSA: vote early!) Can practicing confrontation make you more comfortable with it? Maybe, if your neighbor sets the heat to 80 degrees. Call 856-502-4816 to solicit advice on a future episode.

Alison is joined on today’s episode by Catherine Cohen - the actor, comedian, writer, poet, and podcast host (she really does it all!) Callers have questions about neighbors who park in the middle of the road, making friends when you work remotely, and rinsing rice. Some takeaways from Alison and Cat include be nice AND bad, consider sitting at the bar and friend flirt, and when it says use the whole lemon…don’t be scared ... use the whole lemon. Call 856-502-4816 to solicit advice on a future episode.

This week Alison is joined by friend and actress Heléne Yorke, most recently (and iconically) known for her role as Brooke Dubek on The Other Two. How do you take care of people when you also want to be taken care of? Is Invisalign worth it? FMK: lemon, dill, tinned fish? Alison and Heléne (try to) answer these questions and a handful of others. Call 856-502-4816 to solicit advice on a future episode. Production by Redd Rock Music.

In this pilot episode of a podcast about giving advice, it’s only fitting that Alison is joined by someone she goes to looking for it - longtime friend and Home Movies darling: David Cho. They discuss with callers the importance of being yourself, posting photos when you’re feeling yourself, and reminding yourself “it’s not about me” when it isn’t. Alison and David also talk cast iron skillets, Costco blueberry muffins, and storing fresh herbs. Call 856-502-4816 to solicit advice on a future episode.
