College Reunions, 13 Reasons Why, Princess Char...
Liz Dolan, Lian Dolan and Julie Dolan on this week's Satellite Sisters podcast. This week on the show, we discuss college reunions pros and cons. Can you really go back again? And if you go back again, should you join a flash mob with Janet Yellen? Or attempt a radio show? Maybe not, people.  Julie is following the latest on President Trump's openness to meet with "smart cookie" Kim Jong Un. She speculates on the perfect place for such a meeting. Meanwhile, Princess Charlotte has turned two and we love her mom's photo of her. She may be fourth in line to the throne but that's the world's cutest sweater. And did you hear the details of how Brigitte Trogneux met her husband Emmanuel Macron? Unusual. Lian shares some information about Netflix's 13 Reasons Why and some advice on talk to your teens and preteens about suicide and this show. Julie recommends the movie Their Finest as smart, funny, sad and sentimental. Watch for it locally. And Lian will be moderating a great Pasadena Magazine Women in Business panel with some very accomplished women in media. Hear all about it on the podcast and buy tickets here On Operation Sea Turtle, Liz's heath and fitness plan, she provides the Moment of Truth episode. Two moments: 1) her annual physical and weigh-in and 2) an observed moment of sisterhood in her water aerobics class. Here's a terrible cycling hospitality idea that none of the Dolan sisters will ever sign up for, but if this is your tribe, knock yourselves out.  To hear Liz's new podcast I Hate My Boss, go here.

Mega Millions, Supreme Court News, Happenings i...
The is a New To You show from April 1 2012. On today's show, Lian, Sheila, Liz and Julie dream of Mega Millions, discuss Supreme Court news and Liz gets caught in some light rioting in Barcelona. Plus a Listener Mailbag with questions and observations pulled from our Satellite Sisters Facebook Group. In the news, Lian loves a lottery! So much bonding over the Mega Millions. Julie finds the Supreme Court arguments about the health care law surprisingly lowbrow. Broccoli? Cell Phones? We thought this was about the law! Plus she has a theory about how the decision will come out. Sheila tells us a little more about her daily patterns around Pasadena. There's a new stop in addition to her usual Vons, BofA and Zushi Sushi. And Liz missed all the lottery and Supreme Court excitement this week, but did experience to total happening in Barcelona. She's not one to let a little light rioting spoil a good time.

Madam Secretary Recap: Convergence Season 3, Ep...
Lian Dolan and Julie Dolan of the Satellite Sisters recap the most recent episode of the CBS drama Madam Secretary.  This episode was called convergence and yes, we had the doomsday storyline and the CIA mole storlyline coming togthere. But really, I think for most of us, it was the convergence of Cupcake Wars and Tim Daly’s broken legs.  Storylines: The search for the CIA mole and the missing stinger missiles and a guy that was clearly inspired by Ken Bone.  In the middle of this storyline, we get a mob lawyer who barges into Bess’s house somehow and she watches a lot of Cupcake Wars.  Duck Dynasty Doomsday—Ian the agent we don’t really care about is being drugged. But WhatEvs. Then Henry gets shot at and we finally get the answer to how with the writers include Tim Daly's actual broken legs into the show.  The extinction of the Black Rhino in Nambia—Bess puts out a challenge for all DOS empolyess: come out with an out of the box  solution. An analyst on the global health desk rises to the challenges and it involves Viagra. Erection jokes follow.  Father- son storyline about building henry’s childhood toy and Jason joining in, but only as he wants. By watching YouTibe videos and reporting back.  A few observations:  I don’t trust Captain Baker. Something about her. Loved the scene where Bess promoted the young woman who came up with the Viagra solution.  Nadine and Mike B—let’s see more of that. Binders full of blouses: We had a lot of repeats this week which is how real women dress, so that’s cool.  Julie loved the fresh eyewear.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this New To You show from February 15, 2007, Lian, Julie and Monica are together. Lian mentions that our show is now available as a “podcast” for the very first time on the air. Don’t forget. The Satellite Sisters are podcast pioneers!

Her phones are out as well her her high-speed ISDN line. That makes it pretty hard to do a live radio show but her phone company Quest just does not care.  Because it's February, we discuss heart disease with a doctor who runs an organization to educate women about their cardiac risks. Monica, a longtime cardiac care nurse, reminds us that eighty percent of heart disease in America is caused by lifestyle factors you can change: high cholesterol, diabetes, heart disease. She also reviews a PBS special on the heart disease that was hosted by Larry King. As a cardiac care nurse, she once cared for Larry! Small world.  In other news: Liz and Sheila are both out this week and having travel troubles getting to New York City.  Lian brings us information about new Anne Frank documents have surfaced. Monica has just discovered tripadvisor.com for the first time and we provide some travel advice to callers to the show looking for good sisters getaways.  Plus, Monica has her weekly news quiz: The Believe It Or Not Game.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Madam Secretary Recap: Break in Diplomacy
Break in Diplomacy  Let’s play, Who’s the inspiration? Hmm, let see, who were the writers at Madam Secretary thinging about when they wrote this episode?  Thais was a serious episode featuring serious themes and a world leader known for being a rough around the edges narcissitic businessman who ran an usual campaign and has a history of lewd behavior and corrupt business dealings with an unusually close ties to a country that was a former foe.  If you guessed the Phillipines, you guessed right! Actually, that is the reputation of the ACTUAL president of the philipines Storylines: Sock it to me, Bess or Let Them Eat Drones The Singapore Exchange – a meaningful territorial accord with Asia Pacific. She ends up getting in a fist fight with a a dirty and dirty Philipine leader, forcing her to decide – like evry woman ever—should she say something? But she can only make this decision after digging into what appears to be the biggest bowl of cereal ever poured.  Usually Julie is here to explain the political gamesmanship of the South China Sea. What you got Liz? Jay Undercover Bess gets her CIA on and enlists Sadsack Jay to investigate the suspicious death of Kevin from Accountant, a deep cover CIA agent. Turns out Jay is pretty goos at spycraft and undercovers Kevins real mission Duck Dynastys Goes to the Devil We are rejecting this storyline on the grounds that henry seems way in over hi head. But I don’t trust Ian and his neck tattoos. Not one bit.  Binders Full of Blouses The star of the show—the Carolina Herrera dress Bess wore for seemingly 36 hours without a wrinkle.

Men in the Doghouse, Entertaining Sheila

Her diagnosis of this out-of-control politician is sounding so familiar now! Julie puts a number of men "in the doghouse” for insisting that prostitution is a victimless crime including Alan Dershowitz, James Carville, Bill Maher.  The First Ladies Desk has a lot to say about Mrs. Spitzer. That poor woman stood by her man at his press conference and then Dr. Laura Schlessinger of radio fame was all over TV blaming her for not "doing enough to keep her man at home." Shut it, sister.

MSEC314: Madam Secretary Recap Labor of Love
Satellite Sisters Lian Dolan and Julie Dolan discuss the latest episode of Madam Secretary: Love, heartbreak, Peace & Poison! What an episode! It's called Labor of Love and it had it all. This show looked like it was going to be a schmoopy episode about young love, new love and love lost—until EVERYONE DIED!!!!  Storylines:  Love is in the Air—until it’s totally not! The Romeo and Juliet of Colombia show up in America to sign a peace treaty and a trade deal. Unforatunetly, they don’t really love each other. Soledad—the first person to actually be inspired by one of President Dalton’s speech, goes runaway bride and hides out at STEVIE’s apartment. Meanwhile, the future of Acai and Quinoa are in the balance? What are we going to eat in California if this deal doesn’t go through…  Jay’s storyline. Have you heard the one about the three wonks that goes running in puffer jackets? Finds out his wife is actually having an emotional affair with his best friend—thanks to Blake’s Dateline techniques Daisy’s Storyline: I think we can all agree that Daisy should stop dating guys from work. First—no kissing in the office  in the meantime:  Duck Dynasty goes to the Devil—ugh. I had sort of forgotten about Henrys latest undercover mission—infiltrating an extreme Christian group with a former military guy. I will never look at neck tattoos the same I think Henry should never do this job again. I gotta say, he’s not very good at it!  And then at the end—everything GOES NUTS!!!! Drowning!  Poison! CIA?

On today's podcast, Sheila, Lian and Monica discuss Oscars, Spirit Awards and more. At the very end of the show at Monica plays a special edition of Oscar "Believe It Or Not", so stay tuned all the way through. It starts at 1 hour 40 minutes in. You know it’s a show from 2007 when the opening convo is about American Idol and Monica talks about taking a nap so she can stay up for LOST! Sheila is trying to get organized financially. Her credit card got shut off. Can she live on GAP and Starbucks cards alone? Lian has some Hot Property premium real estate in the $18 - $30 million dollar range to discuss because David Beckham and Posh are looking for a new home in LA. Sheila and Monica prepare to cover the Spirit Awards on the blue carpet. They love the independent spirit! Sheila was way ahead of her time in her love of Ryan Gosling.  It’s Awards Season so Lian reads some of the great listener letters we have gotten from you for awards you think you are a shoo-in for! Congratulations! Monica has some new product reviews to share, plus a plea for one simple thing in grocery stores: customer service! What happened to all the people in the deli department? Hellooooooo? Kentucky Fried Chicken fish sandwich?? Maybe. Cars that come with safety kits? Yes, please. Lavender scented tires? Not so much.  At 1 hour and 13 minutes in, we interview Laura Sessions Stepp about high school and college girls. She wrote a book called Unhooked: How Young Women Pursue Sex, Delay Love and Lose At Both. There’s frank discussion of hooking up and oral sex so be aware if you are listening with your kids.
