YTB Encore Interview with Elizabeth Gilbert Oct 15, 2015

Show notes

Our ongoing series of You're the Best Interviews continue with an Elizabeth Gilbert classic. We spoke to liz Gilbert on the day Eat, Pray, Love was published. Before Oprah, before the Ted Talk, before guru status, Liz Gilbert was just a brokenhearted woman who went to Italy and gained 20 pounds eating pasta. Awesome. In this conversation, you'll hear Liz, Lian and Monica talk to Elizabeth Gilbert, the way you share your vacation stories with your Satellite Sisters. Fun to hear again. Congratulations to Elizabeth Gilbert on the publication of her new book, Big Magic and her own podcast. Elizabeth Gilbert, You're the Best! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Satellite Sisters on Putin, Malala and Bronze Age Cake Oct 11, 2015

Show notes

On today's Satellite Sisters, Julie has much to say about her foe Vladimir Putin - his birthday, his hockey skills and his seizing the stage in Syria. Plus, she fills us in on the new Nobel laureate for literature, Belarusian author Svetlana Alexievich. Speaking of Nobel Prize winners, Liz reports from the London premiere of He Named Me Malala. She was honored to have dinner with Malala's parents and filmmaker Davis Guggenheim at the event. Liz's job at National Geographic Channel means she will be working on the movie when it comes to Nat Geo next next year. Malala and her parents want to be sure that the film gets to the widest possible audience of girls and their parents everywhere. Sheila fills us in on celebrity news from Randy Quaid, Shia LeBoeuf and Gwyneth Paltrow. Gwynnie? What could she possible have said on Twitter to upset Sheila? Lian shares some archeological news from the New York Times about British mummies from the Bronze Age. It's all about peat, apparently. Plus, she reports on her outfit for the 80"s party she warned us about. Julie recommends one thing for stress relief. People, have you tried googling CorgiCon? We recommend. And finally, it looks like Amazon has started to ship our new book "You're The Best: A Celebration of Friendship". We hope you enjoy it. If you do, we'd love for you to post reviews on amazon.com and goodreads.com. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
