It is Sunday November 6, 2016.  Our New To You Satellite Sisters podcast today is from Tuesday November 4, 2008.  Election Day!  All the Satellite Sisters review our voting and TV watching plans but the real goal of this show was to take your mind off both the election and that fact that the world economy was in complete terrifying fretful.  Remember that?  It colors all of our conversations whether they are about Martha Stewart and the fairness of her stint in the federal pen or Sheila's Tips to Clip from Woman's World, the official publication of the Cozy Couch. Thank you for subscribing to Satellite Sisters at iTunes, Stitcher or wherever you listen to podcasts, and thanks also for rating and reviewing our show.  Coming up later this week on Tuesday, we will have a new Satellite Sisters show plus our TV recaps of both Madam Secretary on CBS and Poldark on PBS.

Madam Secretary is Back in Action! And she’s doing it from the State Department right there in DC. The only foreign country she went to was Cleveland- in this episode. Lian Dolan and Julie Dolan of the Satellite Sisters re-cap the CBS drama Madam Secretary Season 3, Episode 4 called The Dissent Memo   Props to Julie for calling out The Power Jumper ! The fashion look returns and MSEC rocks one for most of the show.    And we all give thanks that President Dalton stayed out on the campaign trail so that Bess could do her job – without any blah, blah blah in the blue blazers    Three story lines:   Africa, Antiquities, and Awful British People   The Bombing in Angola and a vaguely democratic dictator suppressing the vote and imprisoning his opponent to ensure victory. A chance to focus on Africa and the double standard fo press coverage. Turning point when Bess gets a Memo of Dissent--  which as far as I can tell is basically a mean anonymous note in your locker… But Bess has a Classic LIGHT BULB MOMENT!!    Black Dog Station- Henry and Jose are back on the trail of linking stolen black market antiquities and terrorists—specifically the group HS. Love this storyline. When henry said the word “reliquary’ I swooned. I also loved the fact that they got on this inside of this vast black-market world in like one commercial break. Now working with a French agent who is impersonating a Bad Archaeologist.    On the Home Front, the stalking storyline takes a back seat to young love—Jareth is Lord Jareth and he’s coming to stay in a Twin Bed with Stevie. Lian doesn't support this romance. Julie is suspicious about Stevie Energy Level. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Lian Dolan and Julie Dolan of the Satellite Sisters Talk TV. Our commentary on the PBS drama Poldark. This week, Season 2, Episode 5. This week at SSHQ, Julie and Lian wear our Team Demelza t-shirts while recording this podcast.    But first…   Who is putting silk stocking on their Christmas list? Does that count for one or two nights of Hannukah?    In this episode: Demelza fights for her family, her man, mucks out a barn, stands on the right side of smuggling, marches into a creditors office like a boss and makes Christmas dinner. As Mrs Drunk says, Do you need a lits of all the things she does to keep us safe and warm and fedded?   Meanwhile, Elizabeth bears herself nobly and rides that damn horse around town.  We think the choice is obvious to us—but apparently not to Ross.   This episode set up the post Francis life for Elizabeth—and it’s apparently one of heavy sighs and sexy mourning dresses with a little bit of sad blanket weaving mixed in.  The bright spot? Caroline and Dr. Ennis! Yes!    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Season 3, Episode 3:  South China Sea   Alternate titles:  Battle of the lapel pins The President Leaves the Oval Office Catfishin’ Panda Diplomacy China Blinks What the heck is going on with our fridge?   Storylines:   Activists captured in South China Sea and China vows to make an example of them. It’s LOST! Oh, no it’s not China also pretends to own everything in the South China Sea. And if you like me were wondering what happens in the South China Seas, the Wonk Team comes up with some facts and figures.        Panda Talk—did it seem like someone in the writers room just discovered the Panda cam and decided to write a whole episode about it? Fine with that—but lots of Panda talk.      Crazy Henry and the Spooky Fridge Henry and Bess make the bed. And fight about former student who made threats. And putting on pillow shams.. at one point, Henry starts mansplaining mental illness and stalking. To Bess. Who was in the CIA. Henry runs with his theory that a former student is the one threatening an terrorizing the family. The FBI not that helpful—or so it seems. Until they are and Henry almost blows the whole deal.      See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Lian Dolan and Julie Dolan of the Satellite Sisters re-cap the PBS drama Poldark. This week: season 2, Episode 4. This episode had two personalities—loving and fun and forboding and tragic   Loving and fun:  Sassy talk between Demelza and Ross! Caroline returns in that red coat and Dr. Ennis goes for it! Even sad sack Francis gets a little action from Elizabeth   Foreboding and Tragic: Mining, fighting, smuggling and snitching.   Elizabeth decides to unload on Ross in some very inappropriate dinner party conversation. And for goodness sakes, Frances, why didn’t you learn to swim!!!   But first, I have a few questions:   Since when is Francis a magistrate? Is Captain Gilbert & Sullivan away on a ship?  Didn’t those red coats learn anything in the revolutionary war? Like buy some green coats? After that eye gauging beatdown convince George the Weasal to give up fighting for fencing?  Did it seem strange that Ross & Francis were holding hands during a dance?     Story lines:    Mining, fighting, smuggling and snitching. Blah, blah, blah.    Love is in the air: Caroline and Dr Ennis               Aunt Agatha and Verity              Aunt Agatha could be 60 or 160. She has a cough and sends for Verity, rather than a doctor because    Elizabeth the Vixen—now we hate her   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Phew. This is a New To You show from Sept. 22, 2008.  Sheila has a customer service issue with her HP Ink Cartridges.  Why do they run out so fast?  She turns to Lian first.  She calls Lian "the Executive Producer of her life".  Lian suggests she call the experts so Sheila tries gets on the line with HP.  Not surprisingly, this does not go well.   Lian has insights into math from this story in the New York Times entitled Gut Instinct's Surprising Role In Math.

On today's Satellite Sisters, we handle the breaking news of the Angelina Jolie/Brad Pitt divorce.  Liz has a history with Brad Pitt. She has actually slept with Brad Pitt. It's true. Details on today's podcast.  Is this a #liznessnotbizness sign from the universe that Brad is in Liz's future?  She also asks Julie for a little dream interpretation.  Liz had a dream involving LLCoolJ and auto bodies.  What does it all mean?  If you have thoughts, please post on the Satellite Sisters Facebook Group.  While on a few days vacation in NYC last week, Liz did a Hamilton/Spamilton double. She saw both the Broadway superhit and a spoof of the Broadway superhit on the very same day.  Yup.  She's a hard core #Hamilfan.  Both were fantastic!  We recommend! Julie has several trends for Tuesday Trends today. First about CEO of Lyft says they are going to all self-driving cars within five years.  Second trend is about how people no longer want to sit at restaurants. Julie's third trend is a new sport called Forest Bathing. Whaaaa?  Next, how do you feel about electronic implants instead of house keys or car keys?  Whose bright idea was that?  Liz awards the Satellite Sisters of Week to the Brownlee brothers Jonny and Alistair. They are both international triathletes and Olympic medalists but their performance at a race in Cozumel was the best.  When brother Alistair lost his mojo and became confused near the finish, Jonny literally picked him up and pushed him over the finish line. That's heart.  Love these sibling stories. As long as we are talking about brotherhood, we heartily recommend the new Beatles documentary 8 Days A Week:  The Touring Years.  Liz saw it at a packed Monday afternoon matinee.  The documentary includes interviews with Paul and Ringo plus Elvis Costello, Whoopi Goldberg and Malcolm Gladwell. In the theatre, you get a bonus 30 minute digitally remastered film of their famous Shea Stadium concert. If you want to watch at home instead, you'll find it on Hulu. For the start of the TV season, Julie recommends a process for how to decide what to watch.  Liz repeats her recommendation that PITCH debuting on Thursday night on FOX is definitely worth checking out.  Finally, we announce the launch of our new Satellite Sisters season next week. It's season 16, people.  Can you believe it?? Starting next Tuesday, Liz, Julie and Lian will be on every Tuesday.  Lian and Julie will also do their TV recaps for Poldark starting with Sunday Sept 25 Secretary and Madam Secretary starting October 2, 2016. Monica and Sheila both of have other professional and personal commitments so they will not be on any of the news shows but you can continue to hear them on our New To You shows that will continue to be released on the weekends.

On today's Satellite Sisters podcast. Julie, Liz and Lian tackle: Two awards for Gretchen Carlson on her $20 million settlement from Fox News.  Gretchen, you are our #staynoisy sister of the week.  Also, Best Use of An I-Phone for secretly taping the illegal and vile things Roger Ailes said to you.   How Not To Get A Meeting With the President of the United States:  Speaking of vile things, Julie has a review of the vile things so-called diplomats have said to each other lately. President Duterte of Philippines, welcome to the list. Philae Lander, We Hardly Knew Ye:  Well, the finally found a photo of where that Philae lander ended up on the comment.  In a dark ditch after bouncing twice.  It makes us :( Speaking of space, get out your lightsabers! Lian saw John Williams conduct the score from Stars Wars with the LA Phil at the Hollywood Bowl this weekend. Loved it. Next up for Lian Dolan this month is a college drop-off for her freshman son.  The shopping starts now. There's a bathrobe debate happening, among other things. On the Satellite Sisters Facebook Group, listener Kathleen posted asking for advice for her son starting his senior year in high school.  Lian recommends the parenting website Grown and Flown and thanks all the members of the Satellite Sisterhood who posted their own suggestions.  Julie recommends Maria Shriver's website for some empty nest insights as well as thoughts on Mother Theresa and unconditional love from the book A Gift of Love by Tony Cointreau. From the Wall Street Journal, Liz brings us a sad story of older women getting exploited by scammers in online dating services.  Victims lost more than $120 million to "romance scams" in the first six months of 2016. What?  As if online dating wasn't bad enough.  Media Round-Up:  Julie saw "The Light between Two Oceans" which she describes as a slow satisfying cinematic sobfest. Lian recommends Delia Ephron's book Siracusa and Mike Virbiglia's movie Don't Think Twice. She cannot, however, get on board with the much beloved Gilmore Girls.  We guess she's just too late to that party.  Lian makes a shopping breakthrough.  She was stalked by a Steve Madden bag online and managed to actually buy it here! She's also got the scoop on fall fashion trends from Real Simple Magazine, most of which the Satellite Sisters will not be wearing.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
