Satellite Sisters on Chip Quest, Hot Yoga and Women's Meat Camp Jul 26, 2015

Show notes

On today's Satellite Sisters, the Lab Rats Sheila and Monica Dolan go on a Chip Quest. Monica is determined to participate in the Lays Do Us A Flavor Contest. She convinced Sheila to get on board to test flavors Gyro, Truffle Fries, Biscuits & Gravy and New York Reuben, but despite many store visits they could not find the new product. 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. We recommend it. Then Liz and a friend tried a new place in Santa Monica last night that is part butcher shop/part restaurant. True touch of Portlandia. Very high marks for Belcampo, including the best Beet Cocktail ever. Yes, people. Beets and tequila. Give it a try. Called Beets By J. Hahaha. You may also be interested in trying the camp the restaurant runs at their ranch in Northern California. Women's Meat Camp. Yes, people. Women's Meat Camp. We want someone we know to try this camp that includes farm chores, pig butchery, food, wine and, of course, yoga. Who's in?? Also on today's show, we give you the latest on our @instagram contest. Are you posting your summer fun photos on Instagram with our hashtag #satsisterssummerfun and our tag @satsisters? Prizes from Sol De Janeiro awarded at the end of the summer. Join in the fun. For the fall, don't forget that we have two big book events coming up for You're The Best: A Celebration of Friendship. Join us October 29 in Brookly NY and November 8 in Pasadena. Make plans with your own Satellite Sisters to join us. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

SSWW: Debut Mystery Authors Kris Calvin & Anne Flett-Giordano Jul 15, 2015

Show notes

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.
