Ronna and Beverly

Ronna Marlene Glickman and Beverly Ginsberg (née Kahn) are the 50-something characters created and embodied by actor/comedians Jessica Chaffin and Jamie Denbo. They host a podcast on the Earwolf network wherein they interview/interrogate a celebrity guest, interact with one another, and dispense advice to listeners. Chaffin and Denbo developed their characters in 2006 when they were asked to host an all-Jewish 'Kosher Christmas Show' at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre.
== Podcast ==
Ronna and Beverly have a new podcast every other week on their eponymous show, Ronna and Beverly, at Earwolf. The podcast premiered on May 25, 2011.Earwolf Show Page Former guests include people working in comedy, as well as actors, authors, and filmmakers.
== Television ==
In 2009, a television pilot "Encyclopedia of Television Pilots, 1937-2012" based on the two women was produced by Showtime with Jenji Kohan co-writing and co-producing and with Paul Feig directing. The pilot was not picked up.
In 2012, British network Sky Atlantic aired one season of a chat show starring Ronna and Beverly. The 6-episode run was also directed by Paul Feig. IMDB Guests included such as Jon Hamm, Michael Bolton, Will Arnett, Warwick Davis, David Walliams, and Alan Cumming, among others.
== Live performances ==
Ronna and Beverly perform monthly in Los Angeles at the UCB-LA Theatre. They also brought their show to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2010. The characters make especial fuss over their international lifestle, and London is a frequent topic of note on their podcast and in print. In 2010, Denbo and Chaffin performed in as Ronna and Beverly for a brief run at London's Soho Theatre.
== Fans ==
According to Ronna and Bev, the original listeners are their friends, The Barbaras (Barbara Eschelbach, Barbara Levin, and Barbara Sidman).
=== I'm A Ronna / I'm A Beverly ===
Through their time interviewing people and interacting with fans, it became clear that people are often more inclined to relate with one of the hosts to the exclusion of the other. Those who are drawn to Ronna relate to her exquisite taste level and interest in world events and the arts. Those who are drawn to Beverly relate to her free spirit and believe that the human condition must not apologize for itself.
There is a fan movement on the rise to use #imaronna#imaronna and #imabeverly.#imabeverly
