Alison Gives Advice with Raven Smith

Alison Roman / Talkhouse
About this episode

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. Solicited Advice is brought to you with distribution and revenue support from the Talkhouse Network.
