Satellite Sisters

On today's show, Julie, Liz and Lian tackle russian hacking, Lian's new dog Silky Steffi Von Graf and Liz's science news on the power of optimism in our lives. Plus Julie poss the ethical question: Is a Santa in uniform ever off duty? And Liz has an etiquette question: If you get sick after dinner at a friend's party, do you inform the hosts? On the current headlines about Russian hacking, Julie wants to remind you that she has been talking about this on Satellite Sisters for years, starting when she lived in Moscow from 2001 to 2006. Lian introduces us to the new 3 year old German Shepherd she got from a local organization, Burbank German Shepherd Rescue. She's not quite at top health so Lian has a little dog nursing to do before she makes her neighborhood debut. Lian also has some timely Santa stats from Nat Geo and says a fond farewell to Self Magazine. Liz talks about the Nurses study results on how optimism enhances our lives. We invite you to post your own optimistic goals for 2017 on the Satellite Sisters Facebook Group. Meet our new sponsor Storyworth.

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. She also had a great experience with a rental car that she wants to share. Ford Flex. Who knew??

Season finale!! The Satellite Sisters are here to recap the Big Show, featuring many many windswept scenes, furious riding, angry mobs, trembling lips, a birthing and a coupling. Will Demelza forgive Ross? Will Elizabeth do something besides stare out the window? Will Dwight join the Navy or continue to dissect himan body parts in Cornwall? Will Caroline exchange that red coat for a blue one? Will George the Weasal gift his henchman a few sessions at a tanning salon? And finally, when will we see Aunt Agatha standing over that bubbling cauldron, reciting, Double, Double Toil and Trouble? Storylines one at a time: Dwight & Caroline: he joins the Navy and she’s all ‘Hey, Sailor..” George & Elizabeth: George builds a wall, tosses out the poor and belives in boarding school. Elizabeth preggers Ross & Demelza: She’s not all that impressed by the tin, the new man, Elizabeth’s set-up. Ross plays matchmaker, town leaders and then sweeps in and gets to be a hero.

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. Julie tells us that has something to do with the production of nuclear weapons, but Lian thinks it's really more about show tunes at Piano bar. Election day Ohio Electoral college- NOOOOOOO! Nooo!!!! Three storylines: Diplomatic Crises on Election Day: the nuclear deal that the admin negotiated with Russia and Iran is in jeopardy The staff on Election Day—apparently, it’s the one day in DC when everyone goes crazy, drinkins a lot, sings showtunes and sleeps with fremenies. It made me think that these people need to get out more often because they all made some socially awkward choices. Home Front: Jason goes Oppo and Henry has to school him on keeping your mouth shit until you actually know something. Hahahahahaha. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

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.

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.

Season 3, Episode 3: South China Sea Alternate titles: Battle of the lapel pins The President Leaves the Oval Office Catfishin’ Panda Diplomacy China Blinks What the heck is going on with our fridge? Storylines: Activists captured in South China Sea and China vows to make an example of them. It’s LOST! Oh, no it’s not China also pretends to own everything in the South China Sea. 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.

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. She has a cough and sends for Verity, rather than a doctor because Elizabeth the Vixen—now we hate her See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

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.

On today's Satellite Sisters, Liz and Julie tackle: The sad news about Gene Wilder. Here's the announcement his family sent out that explains why he did not tell the world he had Alzheimers and here's where you can watch James Corden's lovely story about meeting Wilder backstage on Broadway. The equally sad news, but in a different way, about Huma Abedin and Anthony Weiner. Huma, your Satellite Sisters are rooting for you. Emmy voting! Liz is an Emmy voter and discovered a whole new category of content this year as she was completing her voting. Have you checked out the overlooked Emmy category of Outstanding Short Form Variety Series? Liz recommends you check out: Epic Rap Battles of History on YouTube, Gay of Thrones from FunnyorDie.com, Honest Trailers on YouTube, Making A Scene with James franco from AOL and Park Bench with Steve Buscemi on AOL. Julie's Picks and Pans: Julie recommends one movie Hell or High Water and one book American Heiress. Having seen the trailer, she's not so keen on that new Meryl Streep movie. We love you, Meryl, but we are not going to see Florence Foster Jenkins. Sorry, sister. Liz brings us a trend: Hammocking. It's all the rage. Want to know how to sleep in a tree? Liz explains how. And of course we end with dogs. What are they thinking? And why can't they just tell us? Here's the latest science on dogs. Thanks for listening to Satellite Sisters.

ONE OF OUR MOST REQUESTED SATELLITE SISTERS PODCASTS EVER: A NEW TO YOU SHOW FROM AUGUST 8, 2008. We've never solved this mystery of Julie, the stranger and Zorro's slobbery tennis ball. Lian, Monica and Sheila can't believe Julie was so trusting with a odd request. What started as a "sticky situation" became a potentially dark tale for intrigue and germs. Listen and tell us what you think was actually happening. Post your theories on our Satellite Sisters Facebook Group. Monica has questions about online reading. Does it have the same effect as reading a book or magazine? Julie recommends a new play based on Little House on the Prairie that's on stage in Minnesota. Lian has some new TV habits. Her household has become a Nick At Night household. Science with Sheila! Sheila has a list of the 10 things not to worry about on vacation from science writer John Tierney of Thew New York Times. Killer hot dogs, shark attacks, unmarked wormholes. Plus big entertainment news from Sheila: She's been cast in a reality show. She's Dating Brad Garrett?

On today's Satellite Sisters, Julie shares a cautionary tale of organic cherry tomatoes, benign salad-making and an unexpected attack by a killer bee. Plus FISH FRAUD. What is this world coming to??? Liz is feeling the post-Olympic blues. Katie? Allyson?? Simone??? What are YOU doing today? Special thanks to NBC for deleting Ryan Lochte from every single video highlight reel. Quick work! Julie thinks Ryan should get advice form Tyra Banks so that she will be teaching Project You about branding yourself at Stanford Business School. Liz thinks he might get more useful perspective from from Tonya Harding. It's college drop-off season so we have many comments and some advice from the Satellite Sisters Facebook Group about how to survive this potentially wrenching transition.

Urban Nana hits the Barclay Center. Lian shares the Satellite Sisters Keys to Success in Rio. Sports cliches are not just for athletes, people! We've got focus. We overcame adversity. We ran our race. We don't have a medal to show for it, but we got awesome stamps in our passports and didn't run into a single mosquito. Read Lian's complete post-Rio Random thoughts here. On the podcast, we talk about our big nights with Usain Bolt, Michael Phelps, Jenny Simpson, Maya DiRado, Michelle Carter, Lily King, Brazil soccer, Simone Manuel.

Much like Ryan, Liz has an apology she would like to make to a community she may have offended. Lian awards her own gold medals. We also have a few lingering questions for our friends in Brazil. But most of all, we want to say thank you to the Olympians, the families and coaches of Olympians and our hosts in Brazil who gave is beautiful, memorable sporting competitions on one of the world's most beautiful cities.

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.

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.
