We discuss an interesting article about the changing nature of friendship during the pandemic from The Atlantic magazine. Do you miss your "weak ties"? We do.

Julie fills us in on the latest from Russia including the investigative report on Putin's Palace. Also, how much lying goes on in job interviews? A lot! Listen to this WSJ report here.

Lian is on the White House dogs beat. Lots of fun details.

Julie recommends this free online lecture series: The Brain - An Owners Guide.

One of our favorite podcasts By The Book hosted by Kristen Meinzer and Jolenta Greenberg featured a Satellite Sisters interview with Liz and Lian on their most recent episode. We discuss how to stay connected from four different bedroom closets. Listen and share.
