Special New To You Replay of our first show of pivotal year 2013. Lucky 13! That's right, we are back and embracing 2013 as a new start. Our mother died near the end of 2012 so we are pulling ourselves together. Julie, Liz and Monica are on today's show covering the full range of Satellite Sisters news. Monica reports on her trip to Dallas to visit our father (and Julie) plus they try to solve the mystery of who really screwed up the remote on the upstairs television. Julie has a Trifecta of Tidbits! And she poses a big existential question: what you would really want on your own custom grocery store aisle? Liz unveils her Punchlist for 2013 and provides a progress report. It's getting real. She even bought a helmet. And we anxiously look forward to tonight's Golden Globe Awards. With Tina Fey and Amy Poehler as co-hosts, we actually think of it Golden Globes: Satellite Sisters Edition. Yes, we have a few opinions on who should win, but with those two in charge, we have no doubt we'll be wildly entertained.

REPLAY FROM NOVEMBER 2015. MADAME SECRETARY IS NOW AVAILABLE ON NETFLIX. Lian Dolan and Julie Dolan recap the latest Madam Secretary episode You Say You Want a Revolution which is all about Cuba, Kale and car Crashes. Then we interview the EP and show runner of Madam Secretary, Lori McCreary and Barbara Hall.  MADAM SECRETARY stars Téa Leoni as Elizabeth McCord, the shrewd, determined Secretary of State who drives international diplomacy, battles office politics and circumvents protocol as she negotiates global and domestic issues, both at the White House and at home. Find Madame Secretary here on Netflix: https://www.netflix.com A college professor and a brilliant former CIA analyst who left for ethical reasons, Elizabeth returned to public life at the request of President Conrad Dalton following the suspicious death of her predecessor. The President values McCord apolitical leanings, her deep knowledge of the Middle East, her flair for languages and her ability to not just think outside the box, but to not even acknowledge there is a box. McCord’s team includes her Chief of Staff Nadine Tolliver, speechwriter Matt Mahoney, press coordinator Daisy Grant and her charming assistant, Blake Moran. As McCord debates third world problems, finesses foreign dignitaries at work and does battle with the President’s combative Chief of Staff Russell Jackson, that’s just a warm-up for when she goes home to her supportive husband, Henry, and their three children, where “politics” and “compromise” take on new meaning. Barbara Hall, the creator and show runner of Madam Secretary, is a longtime TV writer and Executive Producer whose credits include a fantastic list of shows like Moonlighting, Norther Exposure and Chicago Hope. She created both Joan Of Arcadia and Judging Amy and serves as the Co=-Executive Producer of Homeland. She is also a founding member of the Alt Country band The Enablers and released several solo albums. Lori McCreary is the Executive Producer of Madam Secretary with her producing partner Morgan Freeman. She is a co-founder of Revelations Entertainment and has also produced such films as Invictus and and TV series like Through the Wormhole. She is on the Board of Directors of the Producers Guild of America.   NOTE: THIS SHOW ORIGINALLY AIRED IN 2015 so all of the Satellite Sisters' upcoming book events mentioned have already happened. The book "You're The Best: A Celebration of Friendship is available here: https://www.amazon.com/Youre-Best-Celebration-Lian-Dolan/dp/1938849582/ref=sr_1_1?crid=39S6YGNZU9C7S&keywords=You%27re+The+Best+A+Celebration+of+Friendship&qid=1680024867&s=books&sprefix=you%27re+the+best+a+celebration+of+friendship%2Cstripbooks%2C140&sr=1-1 Our other podcast feeds: Satellite Sisters Talk TV channel: https://cms.megaphone.fm/channel/TNM3304131130 Chaos Chronicles channel: https://cms.megaphone.fm/channel/TNM2221124865 Sign up for our weekly newsletter PEP TALK here: https://conta.cc/2OxTnog Go to the Satellite Sisters website here: https://satellitesisters.com SHOP the Satellite Sisters Shop here: https://www.cafepress.com/satellitesi...

THIS EPISODE IS A REPLAY FROM MARCH 2018. We've got two qualified candidates right here for Secretary of State. Lian is a citizen diplomat who works on the International Women of Courage program. Julie lived in Russia, has been to North Korea and seems to know quite a bit about poisons, nerve agents and the South China Sea. Together they host Satellite Sisters Talk TV, a recap of the CBS drama Madame Secretary so they are totally read in on the latest global hotspots. On today's podcast, we propose an innovative and historic job sharing plan where they both take over after Rexit. Plus, Julie visits the new Ladies First exhibit in Dallas and has a close encounter that seems like fate. Here's a link to the podcast that goes with the Ladies First exhibit. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ladies-first/id1355861946 NOTE: THE ADS EMBEDDED IN THIS EPISODE ARE ALSO 2018 SO THE DEALS AND PROMO CODES ARE NOT VALID.

Today's Satellite Sisters Podcast is a replay of a conversation with Nike Co-Founder and Creator Phil Knight about his new memoir Shoe Dog, the story of Nike's early days. This episode first aired in May 2016 and is rereleased now in anticipation of the new Ben Affleck/Matt Damon movie AIR, in which Ben plays Phil Knight and Matt plays Sonny Vaccaro. Both Liz Dolan and Lian Dolan worked at Nike and our conversation today will focus on what made the corporate culture at Nike unique and special and took the business from the trunk of Phil's car to a 30 billion dollar business. Liz Dolan who started as the Nike PR Director in 1988 and went on to become Global CMO, shares the one-page Nike Principles that she received in her first day of work in 1988.  Phil Knight shares why running, the pioneering spirit of Oregon and a sense of humor were all critical to Nike's success and creating the culture that made Nike so special.  The book is Shoe Dog, a must-read for business people, entrepreneurs and sneaker fans. Shoe Dog has been optioned as a movie by Netflix and is in development by Frank Marshall. Air is an original screenplay by Alex Convery. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt16419074/. It is inspired by real events but the creation of Air Jordan is much debated and has many versions. The real Phil Knight and the real Sonny Vaccaro do not agree on this story. https://www.kgw.com/article/entertainment/movies/air-film-ben-affleck-matt-damon-nike-phil-knight/283-57c210cb-1299-4a84-93ab-366fb0b8ee6c Learn more about your ad choices.

The perfect way to kick off 2023-- with an inspiring interview from our archives with Robin Roberts.

It's was a pleasure to talk to Robin about her work, her life, her inspiration and her sister. You can tell from this conversation why Robin turned to her sister when she needed her most-- for a bone marrow transplant a few years back.  You're the best, Robin Roberts.

Our series of You're the Best Holiday Replays continues with Julia Louis-Dreyfus who gets our vote as the funniest women ever on TV. What a pleasure to talk to our comedic heroine from Seinfeld and today's Veep. We talked to her when her sitcom The New Adventures of Old Christine was debuting on CBS, a hilarious show about a couple trying to execute a "good divorce." Since then, she's gone on to star in Veep and win a slew more Emmys. Well-deserved, Madam President. JLD opens up about what it's like to really be a working mom on TV and her most embarrassing mothering moment. It's a winner!

We can't think of a better way to spend the holidays than with our Solid Gold Satellite Sister Nora Ephron. We spoke to Nora Ephron in 2006 upon publication of her book, "I Feel Bad About My Neck". Funny, warm and wise, Nora Ephron makes us laugh and cry when talking about aging, friendship and death. We miss you, Nora. You're the best.  Ephron is best known for her romantic comedies and was nominated three times for the Academy Award for Best Writing: for Silkwood, When Harry Met Sally..., and Sleepless in Seattle. She won a BAFTA Award for Best Original Screenplay for When Harry Met Sally.... She sometimes wrote with her sister Delia Ephron. Her last film was Julie & Julia. She also co-authored the Drama Desk Award–winning theatrical production Love, Loss, and What I Wore.  In 2013, Ephron received a posthumous Tony Award nomination for Best Play for her play Lucky Guy.

REPLAY FROM 2018: We have elections and holidays coming up so we decided to reshare this Satellite Sisters Family Dynamics Special with Alan Alda. He talks to us about improving family communications, communicating with empathy and always being willing to change. Are we? Well...not always. He shares great communication tools with us here and on his own podcast Clear + Vivid.   Father Greg Boyle about Compassion, Kinship and How To Help Others with Alan Alda on Clear + Vivid in 2018. Cheryl Strayed Gives Advice on How To Give Advice with Alan Alda on Clear + Vivid. FBI Hostage Negotiator Chris Voss with Alan Alda on Clear + Vivid. The Satellite Sisters always say "Not every conversation will change your life, but any conversation can." This conversation with a longtime favorite Satellite Mister proves how true that is. We are grateful to him for this great pep talk. Satellite Sisters will be back with a new episode on November 8, 2022.

#Witchyleaks. On today's Satellite Sisters podcast, we have an all-time fave New To You show. It's the finals of the Halloween Witch Costume Contest from October 2008. Guest judge listener Kathy from Iowa critiques each costume and is joined by Dancing With The Stars judge Bruno Tonioli and Project Runway's Tim Gunn. Julie is a Classic Witch. Lian is a Yoga Witch. Sheila is the Irish Hag with a Swag. Monica is Drugtown Witch. Liz is Baby Witch. The sisters beg and pitch and work as hard as they can to get Kathy's vote. She's a tough judge but we all respect the final results and did not demand a recount. At the end of the show, Sheila also gives us her Entertaining Sheila review of Synecdoche, New York, a film by Charlie Kaufmann. For more Entertaining Sheila film reviews, go to our website and search the audio archive. There are some good ones in there. For information on our book "You're the Best: A Celebration of Friendship", go here.

Julie's Favorite Sports Movies: We’re celebrating Satellite Sisters Summer Sports Spectacular this week. Here’s Julie's list of favorite sports movies. A League of Their Own This is a Satellite Sister Solid Gold choice. This movie has everything: sisters, baseball, Geena Davis, Rosie O”Donnell, Madonna in center field, and Tom Hanks telling the players,” there’s no crying in baseball”. Bend It Like Beckham A wonderful coming of age/cultural assimilation/girl power story about Jess Bijam who wants to play soccer like her idol, David Beckham but struggles to respect her traditional Indian family values. And, hello, Keira Knightley plays Jess’s friend and David Beckham makes a cute cameo. Bull Durham It’s hard to pick my favorite baseball movie but the kitchen scene with Susan Sarandon and Kevin Costner makes Bull Durham my top pick. The movie is about baseball in a very deep way but also has breezy romantic comedy.  Rocky I loved the original Rocky. It’s the ultimate underdog movie and has one of the best theme songs ever. Also, Talia Shire shines in the film.  Hoop Dreams An excellent documentary following two young Chicago basketball prospects trying to use their athletic talents to get to a better life. The two stars face racism, poverty, injury and other roadblocks trying to make their dreams come true. The film left me in tears.  Friday Night Lights Watch the original movie with clear eyes and a full heart. Before there was Kyle Chandler as Coach Eric Taylor, there was Billy Bob Thornton and Tim McGraw in a film that follows the coach and players of a high school football team in Odessa, Texas. As a transplant, I am beginning to appreciate what Friday night football means to Texas communities. The film is as much about Texas culture as it is about football.  Bad News Bears Haven’t we all been on a team for work or play where you feel like a group of misfits or outcasts? This is a movie about kids who never expect to care about competing or winning. Tatum O’Neal is the 11-year old star pitcher. Walter Matthau as an alcoholic ex-baseball pitcher turned coach is perfect. The ending involves a championship game and a big celebration for the Bears.   Liz's sport movie faves include Robert Redford in Downhill Racer and Bill Murray in Caddyshack! Plus Without Limits, a great T&F movie with Billy Crudup as Steve Prefontaine and Donald Sutherland as Coach Bill Bowerman Lian names the great cycling flick Breaking Away and The Cutting Edge, a skating rom-com that does the sport proud.

Major announcement from Liz and Julie on our first podcast episode of the new year. Operation Sea Turtle 2018: The Adventure Continues!

Julie picked this favorite episode from 2012 because she loves hearing Sheila and Monica. Ask Sheila any question about her Oscar picks and her answer is Ryan Gosling, despite the fact that he is not nominated for anything. Oh, well. Ask Julie about her Oscar picks and the answer is pretty much "Please. Anyone but The Artist!." Here's Julie's pitch: "It is Oscar time 2012 and Sheila has an excellent Entertaining Sheila report direct from her Cozy Couch. Monica and Liz have their own picks and pans and Oscar-watching strategies for the big night. As usual, I’m a beat behind on all things Hollywood but I did manage to get face-to-face with Adam Levine at Mardi Gras. I also have an excellent business proposition for Liz. I suggest we launch an alternative to the Apple Store that's less intimidating. Fewer nerds and geniuses please! You know, it still sounds good to me in 2017. And all the sisters love the listener idea of holding a Carry-On Coat Contest. You'll just have to listen to understand.There is excitement is in the air on this podcast."   Also, Liz recommends an audiobook in the spirit of the Satellite Sisterhood. It's Mindy Kaling's Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?  For great Satellite Sisters gifts, visit our online shop, go here.  To subscribe to Satellite Sisters on Apple Podcasts, click here.  To subscribe to Satellite Sisters on Stitcher, click here.

Camping. A sure sign that the Eclipseolypse was upon us. Monica was doing sunrise yoga and listening to a Portlandia-inspired astronomer dude in Salem, Oregon at Brooks Winery. Jill, friend of the Satellite Sisterhood/former producer on The Oprah Winfrey Show/podcast producer, was in Saluki Stadium in Carbondale, IL after convincing her dubious husband that the totality was the only place to spend her birthday. Julie and Lian file their reports from the partiality. Julie concludes that "much joy was to be had" on her end, while Lian has a beef with some "toddler talk" on hers. Lian also joyfully provides a complete round-up of the eclipse love that all the Satellite Sisters shared with us on the Satellite Sisters Facebook Group.  You must take in all the happy photos there right now!

Lian is outraged that the international governing body of of swimming called FINA changed the name of Synchronized Swimming to Artistic Swimming. We have taken a pledge to never use that name even though they do wear nose clips and makeup. It's an incredibly athletic event. Let the athletes sound like athletes! Lian is still sniffling after viewing HBO's documentary about Princess Diana called XXXX. It features really moving personal interviews with her sons Will and Harry. We miss you, Diana. In Lian's downtime, there's nothing she enjoys more than bingeing on Say Yes To The Dress. This weekend she found the best episode ever. Martha Stewart as special guest in all her chilly Martha-ness. You have to find it and watch. Julie had a great Nana Camp experience crafting with a cool kit from Skullduggery. Good thing she had 10 year old Alice there to explain it to her! Success.  Easy Breezy! It's summer so we are required to talk about summer salads. Lian shares a recipe and her secret ingredient. And Julie has one Tuesday trend about the woman who invented the self-cleaning house. Sounds great until you realize that it's like living inside a dishwasher. Liz has a stalement with a neighbor in the parking garage. Grrrrrrr. Followed by a total fail at Meditation Class. Those two things might be related. Operation Sea Turtle struggles along.

LET THEM WEAR SKORTS! Julie thinks Michael Phelps vs Shark is the equivalent of Roger Federer vs Bear. It's beneath his stature as a great champion. Lian's all for it. Do we need some Floaty-Pants to watch that? Who should run Uber?  Liz does some handicapping of the current candidates and suggests a novel sisters-oriented solution. Lian is in a Masterclass with Aaron Sorkin: You've seen the ads on Facebook for all those famous people teaching classes- Dustin Hoffman on Acting; Hans Zimmer on Music; Usher on Performance. Are they really worth it? Lian says yes. https://www.masterclass.com Julie's Royal Report: The Duchess of Cambridge's wardrobe strategy impresses.

At thirty-eight, Lillian Curtis is content with her life. She enjoys her routine as a producer for a talk show in New York City starring showbiz veteran Vi (“short for vibrant”) Barbour, a spirited senior. Lillian’s relationship with her husband is pleasant if no longer exciting. Most nights she is more than happy to come home to her apartment and crawl into her pajamas. Then she’s hit with a piece of shocking news: Her husband wants a divorce. Blindsided, Lillian takes a leave of absence and moves back to her parents’ home in suburban New Jersey. Nestled in her childhood bedroom, where Duran Duran and Squeeze posters still cover the walls, she finds high school memories a healing salve to her troubles. She hurtles backward into her teen years, driving too fast, digging up mix tapes, and tentatively reconciling with Dawn, a childhood friend she once betrayed. Punctuating her stroll down memory lane is an invitation to the Bethel Memorial High School class of 1988 twenty-year reunion. It just might be Lillian’s chance to reconnect with her long-lost boyfriend, Christian Somers, who is expected to attend. Will it be just like heaven? Lillian discovers, as we all must, the pitfalls of glorifying the glory days, the mortification of failing as a thirtysomething adult, and the impossibility of fully recapturing the past. Don’t You Forget About Me is for anyone who looks back and wonders: What if? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Women we love, the songs they wrote and the men they slept with. On this episode of Satellite Sisters podcast from July 2, 2008, Liz, Sheila and Monica interview Sheila Weller about her New York Times Times Bestseller "Girls Like Us: Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Carly Simon and the Journey of a Generation." On April 6, 1971, Carly Simon was about to take the stage at The Troubadour in Los Angeles. In the audience, James Taylor with his girlfriend Joni Mitchell. And back in NYC in the famed Brill Building, Carole King was already so famous as a songwriter that she was the person the Beatles asked to meet on their first trip to America. Meanwhile, in Fairfield CT, Monica, Sheila and Liz were in the 6th, 7th and 8th grades learning to love these voices of a generation. And love the men they loved. We are talking to you, James Taylor.  Please fill out our 2017 Listener Survey: https://survey.libsyn.com/satellitesisters Here's  from amazon about Girls Like Us:  "A groundbreaking and irresistible biography of three of America’s most important musical artists—Carole King, Joni Mitchell, and Carly Simon—charts their lives as women at a magical moment in time. Carole King, Joni Mitchell, and Carly Simon remain among the most enduring and important women in popular music. Each woman is distinct. Carole King is the product of outer-borough, middle-class New York City; Joni Mitchell is a granddaughter of Canadian farmers; and Carly Simon is a child of the Manhattan intellectual upper crust. They collectively represent, in their lives and their songs, a great swath of American girls who came of age in the late 1960s. Their stories trace the arc of the now mythic sixties generation—female version—but in a bracingly specific and deeply recalled way, far from cliché. The history of the women of that generation has never been written—until now, through their resonant lives and emblematic songs. Girls Like Us is an epic treatment of midcentury women who dared to break tradition and become what none had been before them—confessors in song, rock superstars, and adventurers of heart and soul."

Lian Dolan and Julie Dolan of the Satellite Sisters recap the most recent episode of the CBS drama Madam Secretary.  This episode was called convergence and yes, we had the doomsday storyline and the CIA mole storlyline coming togthere. But really, I think for most of us, it was the convergence of Cupcake Wars and Tim Daly’s broken legs.  Storylines: The search for the CIA mole and the missing stinger missiles and a guy that was clearly inspired by Ken Bone.  In the middle of this storyline, we get a mob lawyer who barges into Bess’s house somehow and she watches a lot of Cupcake Wars.  Duck Dynasty Doomsday—Ian the agent we don’t really care about is being drugged. But WhatEvs. Then Henry gets shot at and we finally get the answer to how with the writers include Tim Daly's actual broken legs into the show.  The extinction of the Black Rhino in Nambia—Bess puts out a challenge for all DOS empolyess: come out with an out of the box  solution. An analyst on the global health desk rises to the challenges and it involves Viagra. Erection jokes follow.  Father- son storyline about building henry’s childhood toy and Jason joining in, but only as he wants. By watching YouTibe videos and reporting back.  A few observations:  I don’t trust Captain Baker. Something about her. Loved the scene where Bess promoted the young woman who came up with the Viagra solution.  Nadine and Mike B—let’s see more of that. Binders full of blouses: We had a lot of repeats this week which is how real women dress, so that’s cool.  Julie loved the fresh eyewear.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Break in Diplomacy  Let’s play, Who’s the inspiration? Hmm, let see, who were the writers at Madam Secretary thinging about when they wrote this episode?  Thais was a serious episode featuring serious themes and a world leader known for being a rough around the edges narcissitic businessman who ran an usual campaign and has a history of lewd behavior and corrupt business dealings with an unusually close ties to a country that was a former foe.  If you guessed the Phillipines, you guessed right! Actually, that is the reputation of the ACTUAL president of the philipines Storylines: Sock it to me, Bess or Let Them Eat Drones The Singapore Exchange – a meaningful territorial accord with Asia Pacific. She ends up getting in a fist fight with a a dirty and dirty Philipine leader, forcing her to decide – like evry woman ever—should she say something?

Lian Dolan and Julie Dolan of the Satellite Sisters recap the CBS drama, Madam Secretary called The Beautiful Game Three storylines Iran/Isreal Peace Deal Nobel Nomination vs. Madam Sexy-tary Personal Toll of grueling diplomacy work First—a shout out to Tim Daly who was in a serious skiing accident at Park City—Julie notes homage to Tim's legs First storyline: Iran/Isreal Well guess what? A complicated middle east peace plan falls apart over major negotiating points like recognizing Isreal’s right to exist and the acknowledgement of Isreal’s nuclear program. But I think we really have to note that bess tries HYGGE to seal the peace deal—the Cozy Lifestyle at Camp David! It fails but didn’t you want to cozy up before the fire in your woolen sock, drink glog and forge peace in the Middle East. That doesn’t work, but soccer does! Second Storyline: Sexy Magazine photo spread undermines Secretary’s professionalism. And it REALLY BUGS Bess.  Well, maybe if she stopped wearing black lingerie under white blouses! Good and timely storyline… Finally, POOR JAY Touches on the personal lives of the staffers occasionally and I like those storylines. Burn-out is real in DC and it must take a very difficult toll on couples, new parents. Jay’s wife has had it… Henry’s weird storyline—all I have to say is that Henry gets into a lot of life threateneing situtaions for a theologian.  Binders full of blouses Red Puffer Coat The camel coat Daisy’s dress and THE CAPE!!

The Satellite Sisters Talk TV with their weekly recap of Madam Secretary. This week, Season 3 Episode 12 called The Detour. But it could have have been called The Amazing Race.  3 teams!  One Team goes to Africa on a dilapidated plane with one engine and the Chinese in pursuit One Team goes to the Department of Defense and tries to pull rank One Team goes to Crazytown with a Doomsday Cult Race between The US and China to partner with various Africa nations on windfarms. With the US doing it to promote sustainability and education and China in the race to exploit oil leases.  MSEC, Blake, Daisy and Undersecretary take off in old with a doubting press corp.  Nice moment at Girls STEM camp. MSEC waxes rhapsodic about Math. But China on their heels. Bess wins the gamesmanship but loses the PR Battle. Special shout-out to the moving scene at the slave fort between Daisy and the undersecretary—a history lesson and more on MK weekend. Very nice moment Race to the DOD for parts I mentioned this because we get a chance to Nadine and Matt try to convince a pentagon colonel that somehow the speechwriter outranks the military man. But Nadine gets her parts.  Race to Crazytown When the FBI says, I’ll be there in 5 minutes, do you have to let them in? Henry is back on the trail of a doomsday cult he once hunted down. One of the cult members  is selling bombs to isis. Pretend to be a radicalized Islamic terrorist—but Henry gives him the “are you islamic test” and he fails miserable. Theory—cult guy setting up end of the world standoff between the west and isis. Everybody in the truck!!

 Journalist and master communicator Tina Brown talks to the Satellite Sisters about her biography of Princess Diana called The Diana Chronicles.  Ten years after her death, Princess Diana remains a mystery. Was she “the people’s princess,” who electrified the world with her beauty and humanitarian missions? Or was she a manipulative, media-savvy neurotic who nearly brought down the monarchy? Only Tina Brown, former editor-in-chief of Tatler, England’s glossiest gossip magazine; Vanity Fair; and The New Yorker could possibly give us the truth. A fascinating interview because Ms. Brown is an amazing storyteller and communicator.

To close 2016, we want to celebrate some of our Solid Gold Satellite Sisters. The great podcasts just keep coming! Today, we talk to figure skater/commentator/hair idol Peggy Fleming. Listen and you can hear Satellite Sister Julie Dolan hyperventilate as she talks to her idol. Someone get the smelling salts. Peggy Fleming is as gracious with the Satellite Sisters as she could possibly be. And for that, we send her holiday cheer. Of course, we wanted to dish a little bit on some of the skaters-- but it's clear Peggy Fleming does not operate that way, so we stuck to her standards. You're the best, Peggy Fleming!

It's the Satellite Sisters Recap with Lian Dolan and Julie Dolan.  Get out your highschool history books! Brinksmanship is back! This was an ambitious episode—presidential election, creating lasting piece between Iran and Isreal, Brinkmanship, Visits to Federal Prison, Charity Runs, way too many trips to the hospital for POTUS and the disc earrings are back.  Breaking it down Random Thoughts style: If you’re going to have a heart attack, have it at the White House.   If this was a Disney Channel Show, EMT Stevie would decide to go to med school instead of law school.  National security advisor Helen looks like our cousin Patty. President Dalton appears to be the one person in the Oval Office completely without ego.  I like Bess a lot. She’s smart. But she is not a constitutional scholar or even a lawyer, so having her weigh in on the election lawsuit seemed sort of lame.  Guys coming out of a manhole is never a good sign.  Okay, the McCord brothers are stubborn. We get it.  Prison is cold. Who knew? I wish we lived in a world where one great photo op could win a presidential election.   Nobody wants to see Russell cry.  Our election drama is over—but not on MSEC. Just how many down coats did Bess have on in that last scene at the charity race?  BOB: Disc earrings Blue Coat Daisy’s textures Black Turtleneck    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

To end 2016, we want to share with you some of our favorite interviews with favorite Solid Gold Satellite Sisters. This week, we bring you Commander Eileen Collins.  When the space shuttle Columbia blasted off on July 23, 1999, pilot Eileen Collins became NASA's first female shuttle commander. Synopsis In 1990, Eileen Collins was only the second woman to graduate as a test pilot and be selected as a NASA astronaut. She became the first woman to pilot a space shuttle mission during the Discovery's rendezvous with the Mir space station in 1995. By 1999, she had logged 419 hours in space and was given command of the space shuttle Columbia, another first for a woman. Early Life and Education Like Amelia Earhart, Valentina Tereshkova (a Soviet cosmonaut and the first woman in space, in 1963), and Sally Ride (the first American woman in space, in 1983), Collins has become a pioneer in the world of aviation, as the first woman to command a space shuttle mission. From the time she was very young, Eileen Marie Collins wanted to be a pilot. She earned an associate's degree in science from Corning Community College in New York and a B.A. in mathematics and economics from Syracuse University in 1978. After college, Collins enrolled in the pilot training course at Oklahoma's Vance Air Force Base; her class was one of the first at the base to include women. She completed the course in 1979 and then stayed on at Vance for three years as an instructor. In 1983, Collins was transferred to Travis Air Force Base in California, where she flew C-141 cargo planes as part of various military and humanitarian missions all over the world. She received an M.S. degree in operations research from Stanford University in 1986 and an M.A. in space systems management from Webster University in 1989. That same year, she was accepted at the competitive Air Force Test Pilot School at Edwards Air Force Base, also in California. In 1990, she became only the second woman to graduate as a test pilot and was selected to be an astronaut by NASA. First Female Astronaut In February 1995, after several years of training with NASA, Collins became the first female astronaut to pilot a space shuttle mission, she served as second-in-command of the shuttle Discovery during its unprecedented rendezvous with the Russian space station Mir. In 1996, she took time off to give birth to a daughter, with her husband Pat Youngs, a former Air Force pilot who works for Delta Airlines. A year later, in May 1997, Collins piloted her second mission, on the shuttle Atlantis, during its delivery of 7,000 pounds of equipment to Mir. Collins had logged 419 hours in space by the time she was chosen by NASA to become its first female shuttle commander. The shuttle Columbia, under Collins' command, made history on July 23, 1999, when it blasted off from Cape Canaveral, Florida, on its way to the deployment of a $1.5 billion telescope into earth's orbit. In 2005, Collins retired from the Air Force and in 2006 from NASA. Since her retirement, Collins has received numerous awards and honors, including induction into the National Women's Hall of Fame and inclusion on the Encyclopedia Britannica's list of 300 Women Who Changed the World.

This is a New To You show from December 7, 2014 featuring Julie, Liz and Sheila, the chronological Top 3 sisters. On today's Satellite Sisters, they tackle some headline news including hacking, traffic court and the take of the lost mail key. The surprising Sony Pictures hacking and the implications for very average people in the entertainment business, not just Seth Rogan and James Franco who we now now are wildly overpaid. Who knew hacking would become a major factor in our lives? From there, Sheila shares her day in court. Traffic Court. No spoilers here but Sheila does admit "I'm no Erin Brockovitch." And it all started near the urban sweatlodge. Who would have predicted it?  From there, Sheila climbs the ladder to a few Federal offenses she may be currently be committing. Losing your mail key may seem like a misdemeanor, but it's not when you get called out in public at the post office.  Julie's excited about the Royal Visit to NYC and Washington, DC . Will and Kate roll into town this week. Let's hope they get to have a little fun!  Plus what's the color of the year for 2015? Julie's got it and it sounds delicious. Marsala. She's also got a new product scoop. Would you wear moisturing tights? We'll explain. And Sheila's life is changed by a pair of slippers. Not just any slippers. SAS slippers. And she believes she might be the youngest person in the world wearing them.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today's New To You podcast from December 2011, Julie is running the Technical Operation Center while Liz is in Argentina for work and Lian is away with her in-laws. Sheila and Monica join the show.  Sheila had a Santa Ana wind situation that somehow threw her into the path of Peter in Lane 1 at Masters Swimming. This prompts Sheila to make two confessions: "I have always wanted a bodyguard" and "I don't mind looking vulnerable.  I just don't want to look crazy."  Monica has a great holiday party at work and is grateful for her co-workers. Julie is getting on the holiday spirit by taking her granddaughter Alice and daughter-in-law Vera to a Dallas performance of The Nutcracker.  In a story in the Wall Street Journal today about unusual Nutcrackers, Julie wants to warn us about Salt Lake, with their sports-themed version and Chicago, who has dogs in the cast!  Monica has a new scientific study about how to eat less.  We are skeptical.

Lian Dolan and Julie Dolan of the Satellite Sisters recap the CBS drama Madam Secretary. This week, it's Season 3, Episode 8 called Breakout Capacity.

Poldark   NOT THE FEEL GOOD EPISODE OF THE YEAR   A few observations:   Men Suck- except Dwight Enys who is a decent soul As women, we are our own worse enemies We need to work on our uppercuts. Fetch me the Brandywine is our new personal rallying cry.   Let’s start with the good stuff so we can work up a head of steam over Ross:   Good Stuff! Verity is having a baby!  Caroline returns Dwight’s letters. Please don’t ever write to again.  But we know, that is the oldest trick in the book. So Caroline will be back!  Aunt Agatha has an outstanding show!  The mail! Again, Cornwall seems to have the fastest mail in world Demelza’s right hook. Not a fan of violence but sock it to me, baby.    Bad Stuff   Almost 80% of the show was bad to worse to terrible   The mine collapse killing several men, including new dad Tinners show up. OMG! Elizabeth’s mother literally blows a gasket! Child birth at home- I needed a slug of that Brandywine to watch the scene Elizabeth—just Elizabeth. The whole show we were screaming at the TV every time she was in a scene. All the handwringing over “doing the right thing” Oh please, girl.  And Ross. Just Ross.    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

More of a Random thoughts this week:   Most of this episode was shot in the dark—or maybe I was sitting in the dark waiting for the election to be over, but here’s what I remember:   My heart is broken for Dwight the Good Doctor and Caroline, Cheeky Heiress. Doomed from the start—but I fell for it.    I think Ross and the boys there on Poldark are using some new hair products, because some great man hair this week. A lot of messy holds.   Aunt Agatha cracking wise about Ross. Bright spot.    Nobody does windswept like Demelza   Could Elizabeth be any more pathetic? Why on earth would the French Revoltution be an issue for Trenwith? Pull yourself together there, Buttercup.  And seriously. Maybe Ross isn’t calling on you because he has a wife, child and failing mine!!   It’s been almost two seasons, will  they ever find and copper? And why does Ross seem to have one stupid idea after another—as in,  I’m going to catcha  ride with these smugglers and then drink myself silly why you hold down the fort, the town, the family, okay, honey?    And who the heck was that hairy , hairy man? Oh, wife killer and mining savant Mark Daniel. I stopped caring about half way through that scene.    Big winner of the episode: Dwight Enys. I mean, what a man, what a man, what a mighty good man. Sticking with his people, hunting down the snitch and then beating him down in a great man-fight, then building that bonfire on the bluff to save Ross.    Big Loser: Redcoats   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It is Sunday November 6, 2016.  Our New To You Satellite Sisters podcast today is from Tuesday November 4, 2008.  Election Day!  All the Satellite Sisters review our voting and TV watching plans but the real goal of this show was to take your mind off both the election and that fact that the world economy was in complete terrifying fretful.  Remember that?  It colors all of our conversations whether they are about Martha Stewart and the fairness of her stint in the federal pen or Sheila's Tips to Clip from Woman's World, the official publication of the Cozy Couch. Thank you for subscribing to Satellite Sisters at iTunes, Stitcher or wherever you listen to podcasts, and thanks also for rating and reviewing our show.  Coming up later this week on Tuesday, we will have a new Satellite Sisters show plus our TV recaps of both Madam Secretary on CBS and Poldark on PBS.

Madam Secretary is Back in Action! And she’s doing it from the State Department right there in DC. The only foreign country she went to was Cleveland- in this episode. Lian Dolan and Julie Dolan of the Satellite Sisters re-cap the CBS drama Madam Secretary Season 3, Episode 4 called The Dissent Memo   Props to Julie for calling out The Power Jumper ! The fashion look returns and MSEC rocks one for most of the show.    And we all give thanks that President Dalton stayed out on the campaign trail so that Bess could do her job – without any blah, blah blah in the blue blazers    Three story lines:   Africa, Antiquities, and Awful British People   The Bombing in Angola and a vaguely democratic dictator suppressing the vote and imprisoning his opponent to ensure victory. A chance to focus on Africa and the double standard fo press coverage. Turning point when Bess gets a Memo of Dissent--  which as far as I can tell is basically a mean anonymous note in your locker… But Bess has a Classic LIGHT BULB MOMENT!!    Black Dog Station- Henry and Jose are back on the trail of linking stolen black market antiquities and terrorists—specifically the group HS. Love this storyline. When henry said the word “reliquary’ I swooned. I also loved the fact that they got on this inside of this vast black-market world in like one commercial break. Now working with a French agent who is impersonating a Bad Archaeologist.    On the Home Front, the stalking storyline takes a back seat to young love—Jareth is Lord Jareth and he’s coming to stay in a Twin Bed with Stevie. Lian doesn't support this romance. Julie is suspicious about Stevie Energy Level. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Lian Dolan and Julie Dolan of the Satellite Sisters Talk TV. Our commentary on the PBS drama Poldark. This week, Season 2, Episode 5. This week at SSHQ, Julie and Lian wear our Team Demelza t-shirts while recording this podcast.    But first…   Who is putting silk stocking on their Christmas list? Does that count for one or two nights of Hannukah?    In this episode: Demelza fights for her family, her man, mucks out a barn, stands on the right side of smuggling, marches into a creditors office like a boss and makes Christmas dinner. As Mrs Drunk says, Do you need a lits of all the things she does to keep us safe and warm and fedded?   Meanwhile, Elizabeth bears herself nobly and rides that damn horse around town.  We think the choice is obvious to us—but apparently not to Ross.   This episode set up the post Francis life for Elizabeth—and it’s apparently one of heavy sighs and sexy mourning dresses with a little bit of sad blanket weaving mixed in.  The bright spot? Caroline and Dr. Ennis! Yes!    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

And if you like me were wondering what happens in the South China Seas, the Wonk Team comes up with some facts and figures.        Panda Talk—did it seem like someone in the writers room just discovered the Panda cam and decided to write a whole episode about it? Fine with that—but lots of Panda talk.      Crazy Henry and the Spooky Fridge Henry and Bess make the bed. And fight about former student who made threats. And putting on pillow shams.. at one point, Henry starts mansplaining mental illness and stalking. To Bess. Who was in the CIA. Henry runs with his theory that a former student is the one threatening an terrorizing the family. The FBI not that helpful—or so it seems. Until they are and Henry almost blows the whole deal.      See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Lian Dolan and Julie Dolan of the Satellite Sisters re-cap the PBS drama Poldark. This week: season 2, Episode 4. This episode had two personalities—loving and fun and forboding and tragic   Loving and fun:  Sassy talk between Demelza and Ross! Caroline returns in that red coat and Dr. Ennis goes for it! Even sad sack Francis gets a little action from Elizabeth   Foreboding and Tragic: Mining, fighting, smuggling and snitching.   Elizabeth decides to unload on Ross in some very inappropriate dinner party conversation. And for goodness sakes, Frances, why didn’t you learn to swim!!!   But first, I have a few questions:   Since when is Francis a magistrate? Is Captain Gilbert & Sullivan away on a ship?  Didn’t those red coats learn anything in the revolutionary war? Like buy some green coats? After that eye gauging beatdown convince George the Weasal to give up fighting for fencing?  Did it seem strange that Ross & Francis were holding hands during a dance?     Story lines:    Mining, fighting, smuggling and snitching. Blah, blah, blah.    Love is in the air: Caroline and Dr Ennis               Aunt Agatha and Verity              Aunt Agatha could be 60 or 160.

All our favorite Poldark tropes are back: staring at the sea; riding furiously along the coast; gratuitous shiftlessness! Yes!  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Phew. This is a New To You show from Sept. 22, 2008.  Sheila has a customer service issue with her HP Ink Cartridges.  Why do they run out so fast?  She turns to Lian first.  She calls Lian "the Executive Producer of her life".  Lian suggests she call the experts so Sheila tries gets on the line with HP.  Not surprisingly, this does not go well.   Lian has insights into math from this story in the New York Times entitled Gut Instinct's Surprising Role In Math. This results in to Pop Quiz for the sisters.  This does not go well either. New Satellite Sisters Sticky Situations: Julie's challenge is dog-related.

On today's Satellite Sisters, we handle the breaking news of the Angelina Jolie/Brad Pitt divorce.  Liz has a history with Brad Pitt. She has actually slept with Brad Pitt. It's true. Details on today's podcast.  Is this a #liznessnotbizness sign from the universe that Brad is in Liz's future?  She also asks Julie for a little dream interpretation.  Liz had a dream involving LLCoolJ and auto bodies.  What does it all mean?  If you have thoughts, please post on the Satellite Sisters Facebook Group.  While on a few days vacation in NYC last week, Liz did a Hamilton/Spamilton double. She saw both the Broadway superhit and a spoof of the Broadway superhit on the very same day.  Yup.  She's a hard core #Hamilfan.  Both were fantastic!  We recommend! Julie has several trends for Tuesday Trends today. First about CEO of Lyft says they are going to all self-driving cars within five years.  Second trend is about how people no longer want to sit at restaurants. Julie's third trend is a new sport called Forest Bathing. Whaaaa?  Next, how do you feel about electronic implants instead of house keys or car keys?  Whose bright idea was that?  Liz awards the Satellite Sisters of Week to the Brownlee brothers Jonny and Alistair. They are both international triathletes and Olympic medalists but their performance at a race in Cozumel was the best.  When brother Alistair lost his mojo and became confused near the finish, Jonny literally picked him up and pushed him over the finish line. That's heart.  Love these sibling stories. As long as we are talking about brotherhood, we heartily recommend the new Beatles documentary 8 Days A Week:  The Touring Years.  Liz saw it at a packed Monday afternoon matinee.  The documentary includes interviews with Paul and Ringo plus Elvis Costello, Whoopi Goldberg and Malcolm Gladwell. In the theatre, you get a bonus 30 minute digitally remastered film of their famous Shea Stadium concert. If you want to watch at home instead, you'll find it on Hulu. For the start of the TV season, Julie recommends a process for how to decide what to watch.  Liz repeats her recommendation that PITCH debuting on Thursday night on FOX is definitely worth checking out.  Finally, we announce the launch of our new Satellite Sisters season next week. It's season 16, people.  Can you believe it?? Starting next Tuesday, Liz, Julie and Lian will be on every Tuesday.  Lian and Julie will also do their TV recaps for Poldark starting with Sunday Sept 25 Secretary and Madam Secretary starting October 2, 2016. Monica and Sheila both of have other professional and personal commitments so they will not be on any of the news shows but you can continue to hear them on our New To You shows that will continue to be released on the weekends.

From the Wall Street Journal, Liz brings us a sad story of older women getting exploited by scammers in online dating services.  Victims lost more than $120 million to "romance scams" in the first six months of 2016. What?  As if online dating wasn't bad enough.  Media Round-Up:  Julie saw "The Light between Two Oceans" which she describes as a slow satisfying cinematic sobfest. Lian recommends Delia Ephron's book Siracusa and Mike Virbiglia's movie Don't Think Twice. She cannot, however, get on board with the much beloved Gilmore Girls.  We guess she's just too late to that party.  Lian makes a shopping breakthrough.  She was stalked by a Steve Madden bag online and managed to actually buy it here! She's also got the scoop on fall fashion trends from Real Simple Magazine, most of which the Satellite Sisters will not be wearing.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today's show, Liz and Lian are home from Rio with a complete Olympic report.  But first, you aren't going to believe Julie's adventure (or misadventure?) with Barbra Streisand in Brooklyn.  Urban Nana hits the Barclay Center.  Lian shares the Satellite Sisters Keys to Success in Rio.  Sports cliches are not just for athletes, people!

Read Lian's complete post-Rio Random thoughts here.

On today's Satellite Sisters, Liz Dolan and Julie Dolan make a plea for civility online in all things election-related. Comments bring out the worst in people, so we are asking you to think twice before lashing out. Far be it from us to ask you not to express yourself, but start by asking yourself this one question:  Has your mind ever been changed by what someone posted in your Facebook feed?  No? Exactly. So express yourselves freely but no need to be uncivil. Okay, people??  Julie also speaks out on behalf of the potential First Ladies one more time. It won't be the last.  We are very excited about the upcoming Olympic Games!  Lian and Liz will be attending #Rio2016 starting next week but first we have some comments on the Opening Ceremonies outfits for the USA, the best Olympic sibling story ever and Nastia Liukins beauty tips for the Games.  Can we avoid wedgie picks?  Will our fingernails be expressive enough? And what's our lucky charm?   Why should we care about doping at the Olympics? Read this fascinating story about Olympic swimmer Shirley Babashoff who was cheated out of Olympic gold medals by East German women at the Montreal Games in 1976. Julie and Liz discuss how it changed her life forever.  Yesterday was Equestrian Day at Nana Camp in Steamboat Springs, CO.  Julie had a slight saddle situation.  It sound like a cartoon but she survived it.  On cultural front, we tackle the new Jason Bourne movie and how it compares to the earlier versions, the new production of CATS on Broadway and Harry Potter hits the West End in London. Listen to our show this Tuesday August 9 because Lian Dolan will be back for our complete Olympic kick-off show.  This is the day before Liz and Lian leave for #Rio2016 so we'll lay out the complete plan.  It's a good time to subscribe.  Lian and Liz will be covering the Olympics via social media so make sure you join the Satellite Sisters Facebook Group and follow us @satsisters on Twitter and Instagram.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today's Satellite Sisters, Julie and Liz take on the Russian intelligence apparatus.  Vladimir Putin has been a specialty of Julie's for many years since she lived on Moscow, so we had a perspective on two major stories involving him: 1) the DNC hack and 2) doping at the Olympics.  The Russians have been using the code names Cozy Bear and Fancy Bear so Liz believes it's imperative that Julie choose an appropriate bear-related code name for herself.  She has many suggestions in the bear family across television and literature.  Julie also gives fleeting thought to the fact that her grandchildren hold both US and Russian passports so maybe she could train them to step in and fill in for a few banned Russian athletes?? Or maybe not. Julie also has breaking science news about a new category of women called Super Flashers.  It sounds fun, but we are here to tell you that it is not. Sorry, sisters.  More bad news about menopause.  Liz introduces our special guest longtime friend, executive producer and sixth sister Corny Koehl.  Corny helped create Satellite Sisters at ABC Radio, then moved on to Harpo Radio to produce both Gayle King and Oprah Winfrey herself.  Now she's on a gap year of her own which happens to coincide with Liz's gap year.  You can follow Corny's life journey with her dog Bitsy on Twitter. @CornyKoehl See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today's Satellite Sisters podcast, Faith Salie is our special guest.  Faith's new book is Approval Junkie: Adventures In Caring Too Much. You know Faith from her commentaries on CBS Sunday Morning and as a panelist on NPR's Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me.   In our discussion of Approval Junkie, Liz raises three red flags with Faith.  1) Marrying her "wasband", 2) seeking fame as a sitcom star, and 3) coming out against pets on CBS Sunday Morning.  On this third item, we respect her POV and desire to speak her pet truth on this but for God's sake Faith, NEVER read the Comments!  She knows that now.  We re sorry she learned the hard way.  Whether its about the new Ghostbusters or female candidates like Hillary Clinton and Carly Fiorina, the comments section is where it gets ugly.  Also on today's show, we discuss the fall of Roger Ailes at Fox News after the accusation of sexual harassment brought forward by Gretchen Carlson.  Julie raised this issue on last week's podcast.  It takes a lot for a woman to step forward and accuse a man in power of abusing that power.  Kudos to you, Gretchen.  You know what we have to say on this: #staynoisy.  Here's the New York Times story on the culture inside Fox News that allowed sexual harassment to continue.  Liz has a lot of explaining to do about the pink booties she bought for Ferris.  He's an old guy now and has trouble standing.  He needed some gripping socks but did they have to be pink??  Julie starts Nana Camp in Colorado this week.  Its all about outdoor activities but with plenty of time set aside for naps.  For all.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today's Satellite Sister podcast, Julie Dolan weighs in from the First Ladies Desk.  What the heck is going on with Melania Trump's speech last night?  We don't know and we don't like it.  Did she write it?  Did someone else? Who in their right mind would think they could get away with ripping off Michele Obama's speech?  Oh, brother.  Or as our mother would say "Isabel, feel my heart." Luckily, Liz has good news about America and has a letter to prove it. We are all going to be fine, people.  On the other hand, Julie went to a lecture by two Brookings Institute experts on Radical Islam.  How do we work this into a Tuesday show?  By adding an excellent palate cleanser about Pippa Middleton, of course!   Julie has also breaking Olympic news about the Russian delegation.  Will they be banned for doping in Sochi?  Will the IOC act? Once again, we don't know but we don't like it.  There is some good news from Rio all about Super Thursday later this week. Yesterday in our Facebook Group, Liz asked an urgent question of the Satellite Sisterhood. How should she spend Monday?  Restorative Yoga or a midday show of Ghostbusters?  Well, we have the answer. Ghostbusters! Liz shares her top three reasons to go see this movie.  It's a hoot and a much needed alternative to what's going on in the real world.   Plus, for the first time ever on Satellite Sisters, Liz does a live taste test of kombucha. She maligned the beverage last week without ever really tasting it, so in the interests of journalism, she sips her first Humm kombucha, mango passion fruit flavor.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Liz's tells the tale of her directorial debut. It turns out that telling an Oscar winner what to do was actually the easy part. Liz and Jessica Lange. Can you believe it?  No, noether can she.  Lian's Random Thoughts on the first two days of the Olympics. She's not sure she shares Danny Boyle's vision for Opening Ceremony and still wants the answer to one big question:  Where was Adele??? On the sporting front, she's enjoying it all so much, she's not sure if she'll get ANY work done this week. Sheila's worried about John McEnroe after seeing his interview of Ryan Lochte. However, she's worrried.  One question:  Anorexia??  She has some advice for his hairdresser.  Plus her own athletic career is threatened by a new injury that requires shopping for some "50 Shades of Grey bondage products", whatever that means. And everyone discusses the story in today's New York Times about whether algebra is really necessary. Our vote?  No.          See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today's Satellite Sisters, Julie, Lian and Liz come to you from Steamboat Springs. CO, Pasadena CA and Bend, OR.  It's a jammed packed Tuesday show but we start with Julie's thoughts about being a resident of Dallas in light of the awful violence there last week.  Julie recommends this front page editorial for the Dallas Morning News and reflects on the great leadership shown by Police Chief David O. Brown.  Julie also fills us in on her project this week.  She is with her husband and sisters-in-law emptying her in-laws home in rural Colorado.  They both passed away last year after 50 years in this home.   In other news, Lian is totally down with the new Pokemon Go craze. She explains it to her older sisters.  Here's a starter guide for the rest of you.

On today's Satellite Sisters, we bring you a New To You show from July 31, 2011.  On this show, Liz, Julie and Monica tackle the world.  Liz is in Santa Monica but just back from Istanbul.  Julie is in Steamboat Springs. CO.  Monica is in Bend, Oregon.   We start with Liz telling us about her quick fun trip to the fascinating Istanbul, Turkey.  It's mainly a work trip but she still has time for a speed tour of this beautiful city that bridges Europe and Asia.  Julie agrees that it's a unique and gorgeous place but assures Liz that she didn't miss anything by not taking a Turkish bath.  She tried it and did not like it.  Apparently those turkish towels are painful.  Liz also takes our parents Edna and Jim along with sister Sheila to a fun night at the Hollywood Bowl. Michael Feinstein, a gorgeous LA night and a gourmet picnic.  Delightful. Julie is on her own in Steamboat this week and is using her time to develop a crush on the local rodeo cowboys and log some serious hours marathoning 'Say Yes To The Dress". She finds TLC a good tonic to the negative news of the day. Monica is hosting our nephews in Bend, including a sleepover with some Jackass viewing that Lian might not approve.  She also wants to test a a Craigslist ad she saw.  This guy will come over and wash your dishes while you watch TV.  Really?  Does that include pots and pans??

Plus Liz asks "What's that weird smell?" Julie speaks up for Gretchen Carlson from Fox News and urges her to #staynoisy.  Her sexual harassment suit against Roger Ailes has made headlines this week.  Julie also has three Tuesday trends:  redneck boot sandals, best friend tattoos and adaptive clothes.   Liz asks the hivemind of the Satellite Sisterhood to help her with something.  She does not want to use the R-word - retirement.  What's a better term for her current life state?  Julie is a full time Urban Nana, plus does many other things.  Liz needs a job title for her life post-Labor Day.  Suggestions?  Post them in the Satellite Sisters Facebook Group or tweet them with her new life hashtag:  #Liznessnotbizness   Finally a big announcement:  Lian will be on next week's show so that she and Julie can do a major Outlander season wrap-up.

Today's Satellite Sisters show has an intro from Liz about what's coming up later this week, then we share a New To You show from May 20, 2012.  It's the Southern California Satellite Sisters:  Sheila, Lian and Liz. Sheila is prepping for a friend's major birthday party and manages to hit multiple salons in a single day, plus pick up some sushi and snooze in a massage chair along the way.  She's also not too sure she wants to try a new exercise from Dr. Oz that Lian is recommending:  The Walrus. Lian gets the word early in the morning that TODAY is the day her husband wants to start painting the kitchen, which means she has to decide on that paint color STAT.  She also tries to find new homes for her prized collection of cooking magazines, including her favorite - the now defunct Gourmet. Liz has a scene from the Theatre of the Absurd.  She takes Mom and Dad on a bizarre shopping trip that includes adult diaper pins, Uncle Sam lawn ornaments and emergency flashers.  It's impossible to explain.  You just have to listen. Plus some breaking 2012 news: Facebook goes public, Mark Zuckerberg gets married and JPMorgan loses a few billion bucks.

Happy Father's Day, Satellite Misters. Fathers, uncles, coaches, mentors - we hope you are all enjoying a wonderful celebration today.  Today's show is a special one from Father's Day 2012.  This was the last Father's Day we spent with our father and it was the end of a difficult week.  Our father's Alzheimer's had accelerated to the point where we decided as a family that he needed to live in a 24/7 care facility.  This was the week when we made that move.  It was an all-hands-on-deck situation in our family with brothers, sisters and family supporters all helping.  Liz starts off with a crazy cops-and-robbers story that had just occurred in the neighborhood.  Nice to have just a little bit of humor in an otherwise very sad and trying week.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Is your so-called put-together life killing you? Fashion publicist, working mom and straight talker Beth Thomas Cohen has advice for women who want to drop the act and get real. Lian Dolan of the Satellite Sisters interviews Beth as part of our occasional interview series.  Drop the Act, It’s Exhausting! is one woman’s call to all women to embrace the imperfections in their lives and to air their “improper” thoughts about relationships, love, sex, parenting, careers, self-esteem, and self-image. By no longer being ashamed or apologetic about how they "really feel,” women will become more aware of who they are and more accepting of themselves and one another. With wit, candor, and refreshingly blunt observations, Beth Thomas Cohen proves herself the prime example of how freeing, fun, and unifying it can be to drop the act and live a not so put-together life.   Find the book here: https://www.amazon.com/Drop-Act-Its-Exhausting-Put-Together-ebook/dp/B0157Y727C?ie=UTF8&btkr=1&ref_=dp-kindle-redirect   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This episode called Ghost Detainees starts off like any typical Madam Secretary...with breakfast.  The McCord family, dressed in tasteful blues, greens and greys is eating toast in their charming Goergetown kitchen. Liveley banter abounds about Mom’s big speech at the UN, mocking mom’s love for her horse Buttercup, and of course, the eternal relevance of Hello Kitty—   But by the end of the show, Henry had ratted out his OWN WIFE to Amnesty International  Can you say, 'Passive Aggressive Henry?"      In terms of storyline, we go back to Russia with Madam Secretary working on a  coalition to stop the terrorists El-Shahib and Henry working to get answers from the terrorists Dinesh’s wife HJHJHJHJHJ.    But then the stories intertwine and more deals with the devil are made—or in this case, the Ghost of  of Dmitri Petrov appears in the form of Dmitri’s sick sister who is back in Russia and arrested. Remember, young Dmitri that Henry recruited and then abandoned in Moscow? Well, Henry feels really bad, it’s making him unhappy and crazy and,  frankly, kinda unsexy as he snaps at his wife over his work failing.      In the middle of the show, we had some excellent DC-speaks with phrases tossed about like:   The Shark Technique The Human Cost     But ultimately, Henry is OUT OF LINE. As if it's not bad enough that Buttercup needs to be put down—Henry busts his own wife to Amnesty International.

Today's show is from our new series Satellite Sisters New To You. The Bitter Business Bureau discussion of hedge funds and the Lab Rats on Dark Chocolate bookend the show, with a full helping of news, talks and laughs in between.   Liz shares her celebrity sightings including John Mayer at the gym and Arnold + Maria in the park.  Lian on her spring break tour of Hoover Dam, Death Valley and several other places our parents never would have taken us when we were kids.   Monica explores the concept of finding your Googleganger - people out there who share your name.  What exactly are they up to?  Do you have anything in common?  Liz and Monica both have Googlegangers.  Lian does not. Apparently,she is the only Lian Dolan in the world.   This edition of Satellite Sisters New To You was originally recorded on April 18, 2008.  Even we are shocked about how relevant most of the discussions are.  Except maybe for the Arnold and Maria situation.  Don't forget about our Satellite Sisters Celebrations Contest happening on Facebook and Instagram.  Post your favorite photos of your personal celebrations with Satellite Sisters and Mists, hashtag those photos #satsistersytb, and we'll do a drawing once a month in April, May and June.  To order our book 'You"re the Best: A Celebration of Friendship" go to amazon or a bookstore near year.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You are not going to believe this one.  Satellite Sister Lian Dolan went to Washington and got locked down in the Capitol Building.   On today's show, Lian tells Julie and Liz all about her long-awaited, momentous trip to Washington with her son Colin.  The reason for her visit was the ceremony to honor the International Women of Courage at the State Department.  Lian was invited to the event as part of her work for NGO American Women for International Understanding.   Much advance planning took place.  Who knew that spring break/cherry blossom season is a very popular time in town?  Not Lian!   Planes. Hotels. Reservations for tours of the Capitol and the White House.  She got it all locked in.  But then who would have guessed that Lian and Colin would be in the Capitol Building during the incident with the shooter on Tuesday.  They got hustled into a lockdown, held by the Capitol Police and finally released, along with thousands of others.  One problem:  their phones has be taken by the police and they had just one flimsy claim check to get them back.  That took days.  But meanwhile, she and Colin had an amazing day at Foggy Bottom.  The personal stories of the Women of Courage were very moving. Secretary of State John Kerry and Vice President Joe Biden spoke.  Check of the photo. After Lian's report, Julie has a neighbor issue that she needs some advice on.  Is this request appropriate or too much? Liz has an update on her Aqua Zumba experiment.  She's also got a review of her night at the theatre with Sheila.  They went to see Women Laughing Alone With Salad at the Kirk Douglas. Described as a "gender-bending comedy vinaigrette, inviting everyone to savor this complex recipe of desire and shame." Sheila laughed so loudly that the women next to her asked her to be quiet!! Coming up this week, don't miss our Satellite Sisters Meet-Up at Slipstream in Washington DC on Friday night 6 - 8 pm or Lian and Liz's book signing at the LA Times Festival of Books Sunday April 10 at 11 am.  You will find us at booth #103 Prospect Park Books.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today's Satellite Sisters, Liz Dolan and Julie Dolan tackle a wide range of subjects from the serious to the silly. First, the awful news from Brussels this week.  Liz was in London when the news broke across the world.  The victims represent many ages, cultures, regions and ethnicities.  Here are some profiles from today's New York Times.  Julie uses the latest presidential candidate twitter wars about their wives to speak up for the importance of her regular First Ladies Desk features.  As she has always said, leave the ladies alone. On a lighter note, Julie is just back from a fabulous wedding in New Orleans and she has advice for everyone:  HAVE A WEDDING IN NEW ORLEANS!  She breaks all the reasons why NOLA is more entertaining than, well, than almost anywhere else in the world.  If you know anyone who is about to get married, spread the word people. Liz wants to talk about three new fitness movements.  First a story from the Wall Street Journal entitled The Gym Class Where You Do Nothing. This class is called Antigravity Cocooning.  We are not too sure that climbing in and out of those hanging cocoons sounds too safe..  Next up, the first 420 Games in Santa Monica.  We can't even explain. Finally, Liz's new deep water aqua aerobics class.  It's all good except for the soundtrack.  But next week's she's going to try Aqua Zumba! Of course, we have to discuss Boaty McBoatface. How can we not?  Plus, Liz reviews Whiskey Tango Foxtrot and is off to see the new play Women Laughing Alone With Salad.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today's Satellite Sisters, we bring you a favorite interview we did about personal finance with Mellody Hobson of Ariel Capital and Good Morning America.  It's tax time, people, so we figured you could use the financial inspiration.   Mellody helps us think about all the issues about friendships and money.  Her first piece of advice is "Get straight with who you are." You have made life choices and career choices along the way.  Those choices have implications.  Accept them.     Next piece of advice is "Stop trying to keep up with the Jones'". If you can't afford it, you have to say so. A friend wants a fabulous destination wedding in Italy and there's no way you have the money to go?  You have to fess up early. You'll stay friends as long as you don't flake out late.  Picking a restaurant for dinner? Be sure it's something everyone can afford. Don't get into the habit of always treating if you are the one with more resources.  Your friends do not want to be your charity case.  A caller has a questions about money secrets.  Should you loan friends money without telling your spouse?  Even with the best of intentions, Mellody says everything needs to be on the up and up.  No subterfuge. No surprises.  And finally, how about loaning money to friends or family? Mellody says yes, as long as it's above board and documented.  After all, if you can't count on your friends to help once in a blue moon, who can you count on?  But never loan more than you can afford to lose.  For more "You're the Best" Encore Interviews from the Satellite Sisters, go to iTunes or www.satellitesisters.com.  You can listen to Bill Clinton, Peggy Fleming, J J Abrams, and Nora Ephron among other solid gold Satellite Sisters conversations.  To order copies of "You're the Best", try amazon, vromans or bookstores near you.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A You're The Best Encore Interview from the satellite Sisters Archives. This week, we talk to Commander Eileen Collins.  When the space shuttle Columbia blasted off on July 23, 1999, pilot Eileen Collins became NASA's first female shuttle commander. Synopsis In 1990, Eileen Collins was only the second woman to graduate as a test pilot and be selected as a NASA astronaut. She became the first woman to pilot a space shuttle mission during the Discovery's rendezvous with the Mir space station in 1995. By 1999, she had logged 419 hours in space and was given command of the space shuttle Columbia, another first for a woman. Early Life and Education Like Amelia Earhart, Valentina Tereshkova (a Soviet cosmonaut and the first woman in space, in 1963), and Sally Ride (the first American woman in space, in 1983), Collins has become a pioneer in the world of aviation, as the first woman to command a space shuttle mission. From the time she was very young, Eileen Marie Collins wanted to be a pilot. She earned an associate's degree in science from Corning Community College in New York and a B.A. in mathematics and economics from Syracuse University in 1978. After college, Collins enrolled in the pilot training course at Oklahoma's Vance Air Force Base; her class was one of the first at the base to include women. She completed the course in 1979 and then stayed on at Vance for three years as an instructor. In 1983, Collins was transferred to Travis Air Force Base in California, where she flew C-141 cargo planes as part of various military and humanitarian missions all over the world. She received an M.S. degree in operations research from Stanford University in 1986 and an M.A. in space systems management from Webster University in 1989. That same year, she was accepted at the competitive Air Force Test Pilot School at Edwards Air Force Base, also in California. In 1990, she became only the second woman to graduate as a test pilot and was selected to be an astronaut by NASA. First Female Astronaut In February 1995, after several years of training with NASA, Collins became the first female astronaut to pilot a space shuttle mission, she served as second-in-command of the shuttle Discovery during its unprecedented rendezvous with the Russian space station Mir. In 1996, she took time off to give birth to a daughter, with her husband Pat Youngs, a former Air Force pilot who works for Delta Airlines. A year later, in May 1997, Collins piloted her second mission, on the shuttle Atlantis, during its delivery of 7,000 pounds of equipment to Mir. Collins had logged 419 hours in space by the time she was chosen by NASA to become its first female shuttle commander. The shuttle Columbia, under Collins' command, made history on July 23, 1999, when it blasted off from Cape Canaveral, Florida, on its way to the deployment of a $1.5 billion telescope into earth's orbit. In 2005, Collins retired from the Air Force and in 2006 from NASA. Since her retirement, Collins has received numerous awards and honors, including induction into the National Women's Hall of Fame and inclusion on the Encyclopedia Britannica's list of 300 Women Who Changed the World.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Journalist and master communicator Tina Brown talks to the Satellite Sisters about her biography of Princess Diana called The Diana Chronicles.  Ten years after her death, Princess Diana remains a mystery. Was she “the people’s princess,” who electrified the world with her beauty and humanitarian missions? Or was she a manipulative, media-savvy neurotic who nearly brought down the monarchy? Only Tina Brown, former editor-in-chief of Tatler, England’s glossiest gossip magazine; Vanity Fair; and The New Yorker could possibly give us the truth. A fascinating interview because Ms. Brown is an amazing storyteller and communicator.

The next interview in our continuing podcast series, You're the Best Encore Interviews. This week, our conversation with the late Elizabeth Edwards recorded in 2006 upon publication of her book, Saving Graces.  Elizabeth Edwards came into the public eye as the wife of Vice Presidential candidate John Edwards. Elizabeth, a smart, down-to-earth lawyer, mother and friend was a favorite of many women in the US for her warmth and compassion. Her book Saving Graces explores the time period after the death of her 16 year old son and the unending grief after his car accident. It's personal, emotional and revelatory. Our conversation with Elizabeth Edwards is the same. After this conversation took place, her cancer returned, her marriage fell apart in a public  spectacle and she succumbed to her disease.   We were fans and she seemed like a true Satellite Sister.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today's Satellite Sisters, Julie, Liz, Sheila and Lian discuss where heroes come from.  On a story in the New York Times, evolutionary dynamicists (whatever that means) tell us how evolution has favored heroes.  Thank goodness.  Sheila is trying to give up sugar.  She has a list of food she has had to deny herself.  It's not easy.  She also has a few new restaurant names around Pasadena and Altadena that are bugging her.  What do you think? Liz questions a couple of new anti-aging practices: one is this face fitness program in New York and the other is an anti-aging potion she saw advertised that allegedly "battles graying".  Julie has some commentary on two new movies:  She has a cultural issue with No Escape starting Owen Wilson and Lake Bell, and recommends Mistress America starring Greta Gerwig.  Speaking of Greta, we hereby issue an apology to Greta for the misinformation we spread about her midway through the show which we correct by the end.  Oops.  Here's her bio from IMDB. Love ya, Greta! Lian wants to draw our attention to this wedding announcement in the New York Times for one tiny detail: the romantic theatrical gesture of the pearl and the kiss.  She thinks maybe Sheila and Liz could find romantic partners on the stage! It's the final week of our instagram contest #satsisterssummerfun so be sure to follow @satsisters and tag your own fun photos #satsisterssummerfun to be eligible to win our great Sol de Janeiro 2 Step Foot Fetish Care.     See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today's Satellite Sisters, the Lab Rats Sheila and Monica Dolan go on a Chip Quest.  Monica is determined to participate in the Lays Do Us A Flavor Contest.  She convinced Sheila to get on board to test flavors Gyro, Truffle Fries, Biscuits & Gravy and New York Reuben,  but despite many store visits they could not find the new product.  Not to worry, sisters.  Monica will carry on this week even if it means ordering them from Walmart.com.  Meanwhile, Sheila tries Bikram Yoga for the first time with less-than-ideal results. She has a complete report on that as well as the baby shower she is hosting at her home next weekend.  The workback schedule is being drawn up now.  Now all she needs is a place for guests to actually sit down.  Plus, she crosses town to her new CVS.  Also with mixed results, we'd say. Liz has a celebrity-sighting report from Superba Snack Bar in Venice, CA. Gotta love, JLD.  It was fun to see her and fun to just leave her alone to enjoy her lunch. Food there is superba, by the way.  We recommend it. Then Liz and a friend tried a new place in Santa Monica last night that is part butcher shop/part restaurant. True touch of Portlandia. Very high marks for Belcampo, including the best Beet Cocktail ever.  Yes, people.  Beets and tequila.  Give it a try.  Called Beets By J.  Hahaha.  You may also be interested in trying the camp the restaurant runs at their ranch in Northern California.  Women's Meat Camp.  Yes, people.

On our continuing series the Satellite Sisters Word Write Festival, author Lian Dolan talks to two forst time mystery writers: Kris Calvin and Anne Flett-Giardano.    Kris Calvin One Murder More A former local elected official, Kris Calvin, author of debut novel One Murder More, knows politics from the inside out. She lives minutes from Sacramento, capital city of California and has been honored by the State Assembly and the California Governor’s office for her leadership in political advocacy on behalf of children.  Educated at Stanford and UC Berkeley in psychology and economics, Kris has been employed as a college-level lecturer in economics and as the CEO of a 5000-member nonprofit association in children's health.  Kris is a single parent of a daughter and two sons who make every day worthwhile, and the guardian (never owner) of  black cat Nigel  and cattle dog Lily, both strays who found their way to Kris and family and never left. You're most likely to run into Kris at regional mystery writers, readers conferences, in the halls of the Capitol of Sacramento or at a sporting venue or sports bar watching her favorite teams: the Golden State Warriors, the San Francisco Giants and the SF Forty Niners.  One Murder More is the first in Kris Calvin's new Maren Kane Mystery series.  Anne Flett-Giordano Marry, Kiss, Kill Anne Flett-Giordano is a five-time Emmy-winning television writer and producer whose credits include Frasier, Hot in Cleveland, Becker, and Desperate Housewives. In addition to the three Best Comedy and two Best Writing in a Comedy Series Emmys, Anne (with her screenwriting partner Chuck Ranberg) has won a Producer’s Guild Award and a Golden Globe and was nominated for the Writer’s Guild Best Writing in a Comedy Series award. Anne divides her time between Los Angeles and Santa Barbara, California, where she shares a home with her husband, Arnie, and two book-blocking cats, Raider and Gracie. Marry, Kiss, Kill is her debut novel and the first in a series.

On today's Satellite Sisters, Julie leads off with an International News Round-Up that starts in outer space and lands in Thailand.  We are all very happy to hear that the Philae comet lander has woken up and tweeted a message to earth.  Hello!  Also in Julie's tour of the world: A flood in Tblisi, Georgia has wild animals roaming the streets, Putin keeps the Pope waiting (again), eating live red ants in Thailand may be good for you but the raw fish might not.

It's not the first time Liz has gotten a message at work about a wild animal in her home. Who remembers the tale of the raccoon enjoying life on her living couch? Julie has a movie quiz for the sisters about the new movie Aloha. Despite what you've heard on Rotten Tomatoes,  Julie enthusiastically endorses Aloha.  She calls it  "pleasant" and ""it's not going to kill you." Really makes you want to run right out and buys your tickets, right? Julie's attitude:   A fine movie to see in Texas during a 300 year storm.  Breaking news on Triscuits, people.  Have you heard about Martha Stewart's new flavor?  It's all part of a "celebrity Triscuit" effort.  We've got some ideas about Satellite Sisters triscuits, including Monica's completely breakthrough flavor idea.  So new we can't even write it here.  You have to listen.

Satellite Sisters WordWrite Festival 2015 author interview with writer Eleni N. Gage about her latest novel ,The Ladies of Managua.    For more information about Eleni Gage and her book, click here.    When Maria Vazquez returns to Nicaragua for her beloved grandfather's funeral, she brings with her a mysterious package from her grandmother's past--and a secret of her own. And she also carries the burden of her tense relationship with her mother Ninexin, once a storied revolutionary, now a tireless government employee. Between Maria and Ninexin lies a chasm created by the death of Maria's father, who was killed during the revolution when Maria was an infant, leaving her to be raised by her grandmother Isabela as Ninexin worked to build the new Nicaragua. As Ninexin tries to reach her daughter, and Maria wrestles with her expectations for her romance with an older man, Isabela, the mourning widow, is lost in memories of attending boarding school in 1950's New Orleans, where she loved and lost almost sixty years ago. When the three women come together to bid farewell to the man who anchored their family, they are forced to confront their complicated, passionate relationships with each other and with their country--and to reveal the secrets that each of them have worked to conceal.  Lushly evocative of Nicaragua, its tumultuous history, and vibrant present, Eleni N. Gage's The Ladies of Managua brings you into the lives of three strong and magnetic women, as they uncover the ramifications of the choices they made in their pasts and begin to understand the ways in which love can shape their futures.

  The Satellite Sisters author interview series, the Word Write Festival 2015, continues with novelist Elyssa Friendland talking about her book Love and Miss Communication, a modern rom-com about digital detox For more about the book and the author, click here  Synopsis Evie Rosen has had enough. She’s tired of the partners at her law firm e-mailing her at all hours of the night. The thought of another online date makes her break out in a cold sweat. She’s over the clever hashtags and the endless selfies. So when her career hits a surprising roadblock and her heart is crushed by Facebook, Evie decides it’s time to put down her smartphone for good. (Beats stowing it in her underwear—she’s done that too!) And that’s when she discovers a fresh start for real conversations, fewer distractions, and living in the moment, even if the moments are heartbreakingly difficult. Babies are born; marriages teeter; friendships are tested. Evie just may find love and a new direction when she least expects it, but she also learns that just because you unplug your phone doesn’t mean you can unplug from life.   Host and author Lian Dolan and guest Elyssa Friedman talk about love in the time of social media what it's like to bring our a first novel and what all lawyers seem to want to be writers.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today's podcast, Liz, Monica and Lian offer a Satellite Sisters Fall TV Preview, an App review and more news of the Snoopy comeback. Lian steps in for Urban Nana this weekend and hosts Julie's son, daughter-in-law and baby Josephine.  But first there's some babyproofing to be done and some Martha Stewart guest room standards to be applied.  It's all starts with the floors. Liz describes what she's up to this week - "the best week of the year on my job" means she just sits around and watches TV all week.  Yes, people actually do that for a living but not usually her.  She's happy to report that the new Rob Lowe/Fred Savage comedy The Grinder is hee-larious and kinda heartwarming.  She also got to meet Snoopy, who is hard at work on his new Peanuts movie for the end of the year.  Lian was not kidding on Tuesday's show.  The beagle's on a major comeback trail. In other media news, major Satellite Sisters congratulations to Pitch Perfect 2, for being the #1 movie of the weekend.  The actual words in the Wall Street Journal headline are PITCH PERFECT 2 TROUNCES ITS COMPETITION .  Take that, Mad Max.   And kudos to Mindy Kaling and The Mindy Project for moving to Hulu.  We'll be there for you, sister. Glad we could save your show.  That's what sisters are for.   Monica announces that Uber has finally come to Portland, Oregon.  Now she wants to know how it actually works.  Plus, she's got questions about some other new apps including Airpnp, which Lian and Liz agree sounds awful for all involved. Good health news:  even walking for two minutes during your work day is good for you, so Monica's on it. Bad health news: Are twitchy eyelids a medical thing, a stress thing or not a thing at all? Liz needs to know. Does it have anything to do with this news about stress? On the Satellite Sisters Facebook group, there are discussions about skorts - both pro and con.

On today's Satellite Sisters,  Liz, Sheila and Monica start and finish with Mother's Day wishes, first for all the mothers in the Satellite Sisterhood and last for our niece and Satellite Sister Next Gen Meghan who will become a mom for the first time next month. In other news, Monica files a complete trip report on her beachfront bargain hunt on Annamaria Island in Florida.  Let Monica be your personal Trip Advisor.  Sounds like it was a total winner plus it allowed her to hone an important skill to land the perfect rental.  Negotiation. That's  a first for her. She's also got some Portland food trends to share:  Hams (yes) and Crickets (no).  Sheila checks out the new sushi place in South Pasadena with less success, but she did hear about a couple of made-for-TV characters Rufus and Lucas.  Or at least that's what she thought she heard over the din of the train. Liz wants to get everyone on the Save Mindy bandwagon.  Minday Kaling is a longtime fave.  We can do it, sisters! Liz also envisions a crossover Satellite Sisters episode for the fall.  Mindy's got a new book coming out in September.  Ours comes out in October.  We are thinking joint tour!  Or at least a little Mondy visit to the show.  Yes! It's fate. Liz also recruits some help in the dream interpretation area.  She does not understand a recent dream but is super glad that Don Cheadle is her new boyfriend.   Thanks to Betty for posting this great story about growing old with your friends on our Facebook group.  Tiny House movement meets Satellite Sisters movement.  We are in. More thanks to Karen for her post about a major post office fail.  But how were they to know the difference between Austria and Australia?? And do you want the backstory about the best little gelato place in Bend, Oregon?  Bonta Gelato.  Yes, you do, people, because it's part travel adventure, part love story, part agriculture heart and all Oregon soul.  Just one of the many reasons the Sarellite Sisters love Bend.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
