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.

Read Lian's complete post-Rio Random thoughts here.

On today's Satellite Sisters, Liz Dolan and Julie Dolan make a plea for civility online in all things election-related. Comments bring out the worst in people, so we are asking you to think twice before lashing out. Far be it from us to ask you not to express yourself, but start by asking yourself this one question:  Has your mind ever been changed by what someone posted in your Facebook feed?  No? Exactly. So express yourselves freely but no need to be uncivil. Okay, people??  Julie also speaks out on behalf of the potential First Ladies one more time. It won't be the last.  We are very excited about the upcoming Olympic Games!  Lian and Liz will be attending #Rio2016 starting next week but first we have some comments on the Opening Ceremonies outfits for the USA, the best Olympic sibling story ever and Nastia Liukins beauty tips for the Games.  Can we avoid wedgie picks?  Will our fingernails be expressive enough? And what's our lucky charm?   Why should we care about doping at the Olympics? Read this fascinating story about Olympic swimmer Shirley Babashoff who was cheated out of Olympic gold medals by East German women at the Montreal Games in 1976. Julie and Liz discuss how it changed her life forever.  Yesterday was Equestrian Day at Nana Camp in Steamboat Springs, CO.  Julie had a slight saddle situation.  It sound like a cartoon but she survived it.  On cultural front, we tackle the new Jason Bourne movie and how it compares to the earlier versions, the new production of CATS on Broadway and Harry Potter hits the West End in London. Listen to our show this Tuesday August 9 because Lian Dolan will be back for our complete Olympic kick-off show.  This is the day before Liz and Lian leave for #Rio2016 so we'll lay out the complete plan.  It's a good time to subscribe.  Lian and Liz will be covering the Olympics via social media so make sure you join the Satellite Sisters Facebook Group and follow us @satsisters on Twitter and Instagram.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today's Satellite Sisters, Julie and Liz take on the Russian intelligence apparatus.  Vladimir Putin has been a specialty of Julie's for many years since she lived on Moscow, so we had a perspective on two major stories involving him: 1) the DNC hack and 2) doping at the Olympics.  The Russians have been using the code names Cozy Bear and Fancy Bear so Liz believes it's imperative that Julie choose an appropriate bear-related code name for herself.  She has many suggestions in the bear family across television and literature.  Julie also gives fleeting thought to the fact that her grandchildren hold both US and Russian passports so maybe she could train them to step in and fill in for a few banned Russian athletes?? Or maybe not. Julie also has breaking science news about a new category of women called Super Flashers.  It sounds fun, but we are here to tell you that it is not. Sorry, sisters.  More bad news about menopause.  Liz introduces our special guest longtime friend, executive producer and sixth sister Corny Koehl.  Corny helped create Satellite Sisters at ABC Radio, then moved on to Harpo Radio to produce both Gayle King and Oprah Winfrey herself.  Now she's on a gap year of her own which happens to coincide with Liz's gap year.  You can follow Corny's life journey with her dog Bitsy on Twitter. @CornyKoehl See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today's Satellite Sisters podcast, Faith Salie is our special guest.  Faith's new book is Approval Junkie: Adventures In Caring Too Much. You know Faith from her commentaries on CBS Sunday Morning and as a panelist on NPR's Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me.   In our discussion of Approval Junkie, Liz raises three red flags with Faith.  1) Marrying her "wasband", 2) seeking fame as a sitcom star, and 3) coming out against pets on CBS Sunday Morning.  On this third item, we respect her POV and desire to speak her pet truth on this but for God's sake Faith, NEVER read the Comments!  She knows that now.  We re sorry she learned the hard way.  Whether its about the new Ghostbusters or female candidates like Hillary Clinton and Carly Fiorina, the comments section is where it gets ugly.  Also on today's show, we discuss the fall of Roger Ailes at Fox News after the accusation of sexual harassment brought forward by Gretchen Carlson.  Julie raised this issue on last week's podcast.  It takes a lot for a woman to step forward and accuse a man in power of abusing that power.  Kudos to you, Gretchen.  You know what we have to say on this: #staynoisy.  Here's the New York Times story on the culture inside Fox News that allowed sexual harassment to continue.  Liz has a lot of explaining to do about the pink booties she bought for Ferris.  He's an old guy now and has trouble standing.  He needed some gripping socks but did they have to be pink??  Julie starts Nana Camp in Colorado this week.  Its all about outdoor activities but with plenty of time set aside for naps.  For all.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today's Satellite Sister podcast, Julie Dolan weighs in from the First Ladies Desk.  What the heck is going on with Melania Trump's speech last night?  We don't know and we don't like it.  Did she write it?  Did someone else? Who in their right mind would think they could get away with ripping off Michele Obama's speech?  Oh, brother.  Or as our mother would say "Isabel, feel my heart." Luckily, Liz has good news about America and has a letter to prove it. We are all going to be fine, people.  On the other hand, Julie went to a lecture by two Brookings Institute experts on Radical Islam.  How do we work this into a Tuesday show?  By adding an excellent palate cleanser about Pippa Middleton, of course!   Julie has also breaking Olympic news about the Russian delegation.  Will they be banned for doping in Sochi?  Will the IOC act? Once again, we don't know but we don't like it.  There is some good news from Rio all about Super Thursday later this week. Yesterday in our Facebook Group, Liz asked an urgent question of the Satellite Sisterhood. How should she spend Monday?  Restorative Yoga or a midday show of Ghostbusters?  Well, we have the answer. Ghostbusters! Liz shares her top three reasons to go see this movie.  It's a hoot and a much needed alternative to what's going on in the real world.   Plus, for the first time ever on Satellite Sisters, Liz does a live taste test of kombucha. She maligned the beverage last week without ever really tasting it, so in the interests of journalism, she sips her first Humm kombucha, mango passion fruit flavor.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Liz's tells the tale of her directorial debut. It turns out that telling an Oscar winner what to do was actually the easy part. Liz and Jessica Lange. Can you believe it?  No, noether can she.  Lian's Random Thoughts on the first two days of the Olympics. She's not sure she shares Danny Boyle's vision for Opening Ceremony and still wants the answer to one big question:  Where was Adele??? On the sporting front, she's enjoying it all so much, she's not sure if she'll get ANY work done this week. Sheila's worried about John McEnroe after seeing his interview of Ryan Lochte. However, she's worrried.  One question:  Anorexia??  She has some advice for his hairdresser.  Plus her own athletic career is threatened by a new injury that requires shopping for some "50 Shades of Grey bondage products", whatever that means. And everyone discusses the story in today's New York Times about whether algebra is really necessary. Our vote?  No.          See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Julie and Lian close season 2 of Outlander with a full-on recap and some looking-forward to next season.  The finale was the episode they've been waiting for all year.   Finally, a Satellite Sisters Shout-Out to 3 Solid Gold Satellite Sisters who are having a big week: Serena Williams, boffo at Wimbledon this weekend, Theresa May, new Prime Minister of the UK, and Malala Yousefzai on her 19th birthday.

CO.  Monica is in Bend, Oregon.   We start with Liz telling us about her quick fun trip to the fascinating Istanbul, Turkey.  It's mainly a work trip but she still has time for a speed tour of this beautiful city that bridges Europe and Asia.  Julie agrees that it's a unique and gorgeous place but assures Liz that she didn't miss anything by not taking a Turkish bath.  She tried it and did not like it.  Apparently those turkish towels are painful.  Liz also takes our parents Edna and Jim along with sister Sheila to a fun night at the Hollywood Bowl. Michael Feinstein, a gorgeous LA night and a gourmet picnic.  Delightful. Julie is on her own in Steamboat this week and is using her time to develop a crush on the local rodeo cowboys and log some serious hours marathoning 'Say Yes To The Dress". She finds TLC a good tonic to the negative news of the day. Monica is hosting our nephews in Bend, including a sleepover with some Jackass viewing that Lian might not approve.  She also wants to test a a Craigslist ad she saw.  This guy will come over and wash your dishes while you watch TV.  Really?  Does that include pots and pans??

On today's Satellite Sisters,  Julie and Liz start with Liz's list of three classic Central Oregon activities she participated in this week.  She's starting her new post-corporate life and has a little recreational time on her hands.  From Humm Kombucha to Sunriver Toyhouse Toys and how to send a pin, she's been learning new things. Plus Liz asks "What's that weird smell?" Julie speaks up for Gretchen Carlson from Fox News and urges her to #staynoisy.  Her sexual harassment suit against Roger Ailes has made headlines this week.  Julie also has three Tuesday trends:  redneck boot sandals, best friend tattoos and adaptive clothes.   Liz asks the hivemind of the Satellite Sisterhood to help her with something.  She does not want to use the R-word - retirement.  What's a better term for her current life state?  Julie is a full time Urban Nana, plus does many other things.  Liz needs a job title for her life post-Labor Day.  Suggestions?  Post them in the Satellite Sisters Facebook Group or tweet them with her new life hashtag:  #Liznessnotbizness   Finally a big announcement:  Lian will be on next week's show so that she and Julie can do a major Outlander season wrap-up.

On today's Satellite Sisters podcast, Julie and Liz take on the Brexit vote.  They each have recommendations for where formerly-Great Britain could go from here.  Liz is thinking it's all in on royalty.  Julie's pitching the idea of England as 51st State.  Both very solid ideas. Thoughts? Also on today's show, Julie meets a Brooklyn child named Sojourner.  Where did that name come from?  Julie is also part of planning a baby shower with a friend.  They watched a lot of Diaper Cake videos this weekend.  What's a diaper cake?  Liz wants to know too. Liz's last day of work is this Thursday.  Wow.  She met with her financial planner this week and was not psyched to face the words Asset Exhausted.  Whaaaaaaa? She's got some revolutionary suggestions for personal finance professionals.   Liz also wants to know what Julie, former business school admissions expert, would do with an application from Maria Sharapova.  Astute business woman?  For sure.  Cheater? Also yes.  How do we rule on that?

Today's Satellite Sisters show has an intro from Liz about what's coming up later this week, then we share a New To You show from May 20, 2012.  It's the Southern California Satellite Sisters:  Sheila, Lian and Liz. Sheila is prepping for a friend's major birthday party and manages to hit multiple salons in a single day, plus pick up some sushi and snooze in a massage chair along the way.  She's also not too sure she wants to try a new exercise from Dr. Oz that Lian is recommending:  The Walrus. Lian gets the word early in the morning that TODAY is the day her husband wants to start painting the kitchen, which means she has to decide on that paint color STAT.  She also tries to find new homes for her prized collection of cooking magazines, including her favorite - the now defunct Gourmet. Liz has a scene from the Theatre of the Absurd.  She takes Mom and Dad on a bizarre shopping trip that includes adult diaper pins, Uncle Sam lawn ornaments and emergency flashers.  It's impossible to explain.  You just have to listen. Plus some breaking 2012 news: Facebook goes public, Mark Zuckerberg gets married and JPMorgan loses a few billion bucks. Listen, laugh and share.  And if you have time, we'd love it if you rate and write a review of Satellite Sisters at iTunes.  Thanks. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Happy Father's Day, Satellite Misters. Fathers, uncles, coaches, mentors - we hope you are all enjoying a wonderful celebration today.  Today's show is a special one from Father's Day 2012.  This was the last Father's Day we spent with our father and it was the end of a difficult week.  Our father's Alzheimer's had accelerated to the point where we decided as a family that he needed to live in a 24/7 care facility.  This was the week when we made that move.  It was an all-hands-on-deck situation in our family with brothers, sisters and family supporters all helping.  Liz starts off with a crazy cops-and-robbers story that had just occurred in the neighborhood.  Nice to have just a little bit of humor in an otherwise very sad and trying week.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On the Tuesday Show with Lian Dolan and Julie Dolan, we cover everything from Grit to Black Holes to Ben & Jerry's. Julie explains why GRIT is more important than your SAT scores. According to social scientist Angeles Duckworth, passion and perseverance can be more important than intellectual skills in achieving success. Julie is all in on Grit but Lian is suspicious that this is just another gimmick that can be exploited by the college admissions race.

On today's New To You Satellite Sisters show from June 12, 2011, Sheila Dolan is happy to reach the end of the school year. Her grand finale lesson on South America took the form of a Top Chef South America cook-off for her third graders. Plus, Sheila breaks down how she lives on the gift card economy.  She's got the range from Peets and Starbucks to Pottery Barn and Crate & Barrel. As a local, Julie has jumped on the Dallas Mavericks bandwagon for this year's NBA Finals. She's fine being a Julie-Come-Lately. Sheila supports that. Lian commiserates with Sarah Palin over the release of her private emails. What would happen if the Satellite Sisters emails got released to the public?  Liz may have to file a Freedom of Information Act to find out what the other four sisters have been writing behind her back.  Liz goes to see Bridesmaids and recommends it to Lian who is looking for a way to be creatively inspired to start work on her next book. And Liz also questions the installation of "ass-cams" in a jean story in LA.  Who wants to really see their butt?  Apparently Sheila does.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
