73 - Mr. Secretary with Julián Castro

Now wait a minute. First off, yes, (Bryan) is back with us after his star turn as the new face of Barry's Tow Trucks, but we have GOT to get to our guest today. We've had some heavy hitters on recently, including some high-ranking government officials (we're looking at you, Senior Advisor to President Biden on COVID Policy, Andy Slavitt, excuse me), but we may have outdone ourselves this time, and you deserve nothing less. Joining us in The Carriage House this week is none other than former mayor of San Antonio, former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development under President Obama, and our VERY FIRST Presidential candidate, the host of the podcast OUR AMERICA, The Honorable Julián Castro! Secretary Castro joins us this week to help us give advice on dealing with in-laws who have been too lax during the pandemic, a boyfriend who may be sharing too much with his ex, and a young campaign worker trying to balance work and family. And we have a big announcement. Mark your calendars for Sunday, April 18th. We'll be hosting an Oscars preview show LIVE from The Carriage House! We'll have it all: predictions, music, games, prizes, and more...and, just like last month's live show, you'll have a chance for a one-on-one meeting with Ronna or (Bryan). Tickets go on sale this Friday for Patreon members, and next week for the Free Feed. Be there! This week's Carriage House Book Club on Patreon is Lydia Millet's A CHILDREN'S BIBLE. We'll be joined by acclaimed mystery author and LA TImes critic Charles Finch, who's fabulous. Our usual book club cohort, Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney, is busy promoting her new novel GOOD COMPANY which you can pre-order now ( https://bookshop.org/shop/askronna ). Plus, Cynthia will be a guest on the Free Feed next month. Be sure to read her new book so you'll be in the know when she makes her Free Feed crossover! Learn more about your ad choices.
