Satellite Sisters April 21, 2013: Julie, Liz and Lian on Bostonians, Chechens and Ice Cream Apr 21, 2013

Show notes

On today's Satellite Sisters, we tackle the aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombing. Having lived in Russia, Julie has a personal perspective on the history of Chechen people. Plus, Julie's daughter-in-law was born and raised in Kyrgyzstan, where the Tsarnaev brothers were born. Once again, she knows more about this than most of the people you are watching on TV. Growing up in New England, we've attended the Boston Marathon as a family. We are happy to see the city back on it's feet so quickly. But we draw the line at supporting the Red Sox. Later, we share our plans to support Lian's new book Elizabeth The First Wife. Julie's flying in for the launch at Vromans in Pasadena on Wednesday May 8, then Liz and Sheila are hosting an ice cream social at Diesel at the Brentwood Country Mart on Sunday May 19. More details on Lian's Author Page on Facebook. Be sure to go there and LIKE her. Finally, Lian's appearance at the L A Times Festival of Books yesterday was a success but her search for the fro-yo on the way home? Not so much. Listen for the Sheila-like details.

Satellite Sisters March 10, 2013: Julie, Liz and Sheila say "William J Dahn, this one's for you." Mar 10, 2013

Show notes

Julie, Liz and Sheila connect on today's Satellite Sisters, which we dedicate to loyal, longtime Satellite Mister William J. Dahn. Sheila fills us in on her latest creative project - there's more poetry and coffee in her future. Plus, she has a nomination for a host to replace both Joy Behar and Elizabeth Hasselbeck on The View. You may know her . Lian Dolan? Yes! Got onboard the campaign, people. Julie's got the latest on Lian's new book Elizabeth The First Wife, plus news about her son's book. She needs a little help decoding that one. And she's got a bone to pick with the new TSA regulations. Liz is feeling a groundswell of support for potential Pope Dolan. No, we are not related but we think it would be hilarious. Have you registered yet with popealarm.com? You are going to want to do that for all your breaking pope news needs. And where do you intend to spend your golden years? Liz found a front page story in the New York Times today on this subject a little alarming. Great deals in South Florida retirement villages are attracting boomers who never would have expected they'd end up there. It was just the motivation she needed to start madly working on less buggy alternatives. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Satellite Sisters March 3, 2013: Julie, Liz and Lian on Dennis Rodman, Marissa Mayer, Going To Mars With Your Spouse And Living With Siblings. Mar 03, 2013

Show notes

On today's Satellite Sisters, Liz connects with Julie + Lian from Julie's home in Dallas. Lian's racking up some Frequent Visitor points at Julie's place and shares some compliments and observations on her high level concierge skills! Plus: As our North Korean expert, Julie speaks out on Dennis Rodman's visit to North Korea. His reaction seems to have been wildly different from hers when she was there several years ago. Surprised? Liz thinks Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer's new plan to force everyone to work in the office all day Monday through Friday might not be so bad if they didn't also expect you to answer email and phone calls nights and weekends, while Julie think's it's all just a big stunt to make Yahoo feel cutting edge by going back to the future. Good luck with that. Lian is envious of her husband's "office of the future" which apparently is more advanced than the old Ikea dining room table that serves as her home office. Fancy stand-up desks? Isn't that what kitchen counters are for? Plus quick updates on Sheila (Report Cards + Laryngitis), Monica (Dim Sum) and Ferris (Thriving!). And Lian has tips on how to keep up on all the news on her new novel Elizabeth The First Wife coming out in May. Join her Lian Dolan Author Page on Facebook for the latest.

Liz is losing a lot of stuff lately. What's up wth that? And we are totally on the bandwagon for Pope Dolan. We think that would a totally appropriate salute to our Dad.
