Show notes

Today's show is from our new series Satellite Sisters New To You. The Bitter Business Bureau discussion of hedge funds and the Lab Rats on Dark Chocolate bookend the show, with a full helping of news, talks and laughs in between. Liz shares her celebrity sightings including John Mayer at the gym and Arnold + Maria in the park. Lian on her spring break tour of Hoover Dam, Death Valley and several other places our parents never would have taken us when we were kids. Monica explores the concept of finding your Googleganger - people out there who share your name. What exactly are they up to? Do you have anything in common? Liz and Monica both have Googlegangers. Lian does not. Apparently,she is the only Lian Dolan in the world. This edition of Satellite Sisters New To You was originally recorded on April 18, 2008.

Satellite Sister Lian Dolan Finally Goes To Washington Apr 03, 2016

Show notes

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. You will find us at booth #103 Prospect Park Books. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Satellite Sisters Liz and Julie on fitness, fun and news Mar 27, 2016

Show notes

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.

"You're the Best" Mellody Hobson: Satellite Sisters Encore Interview Mar 20, 2016

Show notes

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. You can listen to Bill Clinton, Peggy Fleming, J J Abrams, and Nora Ephron among other solid gold Satellite Sisters conversations.
