Sheila's birthday comes later in the month but she's a Libra. Sheila also has some offbeat practices about how to beat the heat. Think fold-out couch, ceiling fan and Brazilian sarong. Plus, she's wandering the aisles of Rite-Aid daily now and has spotted some new products worthy of her investigation. She tries them out on Liz and Monica. It's not in her horoscope, but Monica is fine with the return of the fanny pack as predicted in the New York Times this week. She believes in hands-free living. Go for it sister. Also on today's show, Liz shares some information about an email she received from Mercy Corps in response to the drowning of 3 year old Aylan Kurdi.

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!

Entitled INSIDE AMAZON; WRESTLING BIG IDEAS IN A BRUISING WORKPLACES, it's definitely worth a read. Does your impression of Amazon change when you read male ex-employees say "Nearly every person I work with I saw cry at their desk."

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.

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. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

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.

Listen to the new Satellite Sisters show. Liz provides a complete Las Vegas Trip Report on her road trip to the New Media Expo and The Podcast Awards. Many thanks to Corny Koehl, Ian Punnett and Margery Punnett for the road trip/friendship/hilarity. A highlight of the trip was a visit to the Cirque du Soleil Beatles show LOVE. Highly recommened to all. It was an amazing and moving and totally delightful experience and a good reminder in the midst of all the Vegas noise: All You Need Is Love. It's actually true. Also at the New Media Expo, Liz was very happy to meet Matt Cox, host of Brunch With The Brits podcast. Turns out that Matt Cox lived in Moscow when Julie Dolan did and he listened to Julie's reports about Moscow on Satellite Sisters. Also on the show, Monica brings back her wildly popular segment Science of the Obvious. She's got some science news on why we love our dogs. And more news on the need to exercise. So no shockers there. Julie's back with Putin Watch. She's paying very close attention to Vladimir Putin's latest attempt to rehabilitate Stalin. That's right, people. Stalin. On a lighter note, she wants us to go see the new Helen Mirren movie Woman In Gold and she thinks her hairdresser is trying to ditch her. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today's Satellite Sisters, welcome back the Lab Rats. Monica Dolan and Sheila Dolan join forces to determine whether or not it's true: Bon Appetit: Is Matzoh the new Toast? Obviously, Julie Dolan and Lian Dolan have taken strong pro-toast points of view on previous Satellite Sisters podcasts, but the Lab Rats have minds and paws of their own. Also on today's show, Julie is up close and personal with Kevin Costner and comes away pretty impressed. Impressed that he speaks up for victims of human trafficking and impressed as a good match for Sheila. Liz is off the spend tonight with Arlo Gurthrie at Alice's Restaurant and tomorrow night with The Beatles in Vegas. What's up with that? She's there for the Podcast Awards.
