Satellite Sisters Father's Day Remembrance Jun 19, 2016

Show notes

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.

Show notes

On today's New To You Satellite Sisters show from June 12, 2011, Sheila Dolan is happy to reach the end of the school year. Her grand finale lesson on South America took the form of a Top Chef South America cook-off for her third graders. Plus, Sheila breaks down how she lives on the gift card economy. She's got the range from Peets and Starbucks to Pottery Barn and Crate & Barrel. As a local, Julie has jumped on the Dallas Mavericks bandwagon for this year's NBA Finals. She's fine being a Julie-Come-Lately. Sheila supports that. Lian commiserates with Sarah Palin over the release of her private emails. What would happen if the Satellite Sisters emails got released to the public? Liz may have to file a Freedom of Information Act to find out what the other four sisters have been writing behind her back. Liz goes to see Bridesmaids and recommends it to Lian who is looking for a way to be creatively inspired to start work on her next book. And Liz also questions the installation of "ass-cams" in a jean story in LA. Who wants to really see their butt? Apparently Sheila does. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Satellite Sisters Launch Pro-Ghostbusters Campaign May 22, 2016

Show notes

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. What was bad and what was good? One was Nice Guys. One was Spy. You guess. On a related movie note, Liz does not understand what the internet's problem is with the new Ghostbusters. Come on, people! The Satellite Sisters are excited about the combination of Melissa McCarthy, Kristin Wiig, Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones and Paul Feig? And yet, there's a giant negative internet backlash from those who feel like this effort is "vandalizing a pop culture franchise to promote a feminist agenda." Are you kidding us? It's a comedy about ghostbusting. Relax and enjoy. Or don't enjoy. Whatever. You don't have to watch it but we intend to. Circle your calendars for July 15. Lian has some tips about the role luck plays in your career. Here's the complete story from The New York Times.
