Satellite Sisters

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.

Liz and Lian are super excited about going to the Rio games, so we want to get you in the mood, too. 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.

Despite all the negative advance press, they are rising above the mosquitoes and heading south next month. Lian has become the world's leading expert on Zika and Deet. It's all about the socks, she figures. She also got a funny pitch about a new product she is curious about: Nudy Patooty tops. Whaa?? Liz runs down some tickets that they've already secured and plans for how to get their hands on the rest. Beach volleyball on Copacabana at midnight. We are IN!!! Julie and Lian close season 2 of Outlander with a full-on recap and some looking-forward to next season. The finale was the episode they've been waiting for all year.

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.

On today's Satellite Sisters podcast, Julie and Liz take on the Brexit vote. They each have recommendations for where formerly-Great Britain could go from here. Liz is thinking it's all in on royalty. Julie's pitching the idea of England as 51st State. Both very solid ideas. Thoughts? Also on today's show, Julie meets a Brooklyn child named Sojourner. Where did that name come from? Julie is also part of planning a baby shower with a friend. They watched a lot of Diaper Cake videos this weekend. What's a diaper cake? Liz wants to know too. Liz's last day of work is this Thursday. Wow. She met with her financial planner this week and was not psyched to face the words Asset Exhausted. Whaaaaaaa? She's got some revolutionary suggestions for personal finance professionals. Liz also wants to know what Julie, former business school admissions expert, would do with an application from Maria Sharapova. Astute business woman? For sure. Cheater? Also yes.

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. Listen, laugh and share. And if you have time, we'd love it if you rate and write a review of Satellite Sisters at iTunes. Thanks. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

Lian Dolan and Julie Dolan on the Satellite Sisters Tuesday Podcast. Today we cover two potentially controversial topics on Satellite Sisters: Mommy Brain and Mommy Bloggers. Is Mommy Brain a real thing? Is that spacey, about to lose it feeling a real thing-- or just an excuse? New research yields surprising results that will make you re-think tossing out that excuse when you've lost your car keys-- again. Plus, a big Mommy Blogger calls it quits, saying that her blog was interfering with the "joys of parenting." And she signs off with a post that's making news.

On today's Satellite Sisters podcast. Liz, Julie and Lian tackle: Julie saw a movie so bad that she and her husband had to come home and watch a good movie to wipe the bad one out of their memories.

The Satellite Sisters are excited about the combination of Melissa McCarthy, Kristin Wiig, Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones and Paul Feig?

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.

Lian Dolan and Julia Dolan on the Tuesday Podcast. We cover news, fitness, college admissions and PIZZA. That's right, we are going deep on shallow topics- like Pizza. Julie has a theory on why Brooklyn is, in fact, the center of the universe and it has to do with a Pizza box made out of ... PIZZA! this sounds both intriguing and cargo-licious. It also sounds fairly unsanitary to eat a box that has traveled through the borough of Brooklyn. Lian is suspicious, but Julie's makes the case for Brooklyn. Plus..

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. Whaaa? Other points to discuss: Daisy’s work out gear Bathrobes at the ready at the weekend house 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.

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.

On today's Satellite Sisters, Monica, Liz and Julie establish the whereabouts of the missing sisters: news on Sheila Dolan and birthday girl Lian Dolan. Monica made a quick work trip to Los Angeles for a conference and provides her updates on using Uber for the first time, renting from VRBO and finding the right Yelp spot for dinner. You may be alarmed about what's happening in the election, but Julie is psyched about all the action at the First Ladies Desk. Big Dog Bill Clinton. Slovenian Supermodel Melania Trump. It's heating up, people. Julie is on the case. Julie also has a report of the movie 45 Years and a list of who should see that movie and, more importantly, who should NOT. Bravo to Charlotte Rampling for her performance but she's not so keen on the rest of it. The Styles section of the New York Times has a fascinating story by Laura Holson about music mogul David Geffen in today's paper, full of lots of great quotes including his own instructions to the reporter: "Write whatever you want." Hahaha. He renamed a building at Lincoln Center after himself. So long, Avery Fisher. Thanks for the early 70's effort. It's Geffen's music hall on your building now. Monica wants to know if you are interested at all in the new food trend: savory oatmeal. Yes? No? Sounds delish under the right circumstance. Follow us on Twitter @SatSisters.

Julie comments on the death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia and how his jurisprudence was affected by being the father of nine. We get it. It's all about the tv. Liz provides the report from the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge and the return of the birds. We are happy to have those cranes and swans were coming back to where they belong. Julie is concerned that the trends coming out of Fashion Week in NY will not be suitable for Satellite Sisters. Slip dresses, prairie dresses, bear pelts. Come on.
