On today's Satellite Sisters, Julie and Liz provide some World Cup insights, which will be totally out of date by the time you listen to this. Plus, having nothing at all to do with international sport, Liz has a bone to pick with France and would like to thank Spain and Germany.  There are not many weeks in which she has to flee across an international border in the middle of the night.  This was one of those weeks.  Keep it on the DL.   Julie has two news stories about CEOs:  Marissa Meyer of Yahoo and Mary Barra of GM.  Matt Lauer, we would suggest that you should be totally ashamed of yourself but we struck you from our list of Satellite Misters so many years ago that your insulting question did't even surprise us.   We also have discussion of plane movies: comedies, dramas and documentaries that you'd probably not see in real life but make for good airborne entertainment.  Liz saw one this week.  It's an unusual documentary about street art and artists like Banksy that she enjoyed on a night flight.  It's called Exit Through The Gift Shop. You might want to give it a try even if you are not airborne.   Plus. Liz supplies Julie some totally rejectable and possibly terrible  advice for her crafting dilemma.  Don't forget the special audible deal for Satellite Sisters right now.  Go to www.audiblepodcast.com/sisters and get a free audiobook download.        See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
