  • Satellite Sisters September 8, 2013: Lian, Julie and Liz with text updates from Sheila and Monica.

    08/09/2013 Duration: 56min

    On today's Satellite Sisters, written reports come in from Sheila and Monica. Sheila's already been back in the pool with Diana Nyad.  Yes! Again with Diana so Sheila could extend personal congrats from the whole Satellite Sisterhood. Monica's report had good news (walking with a group at her gym) and bad news (colonoscopy tomorrow. Ugh.) Julie is almost overcome with lavender sachets as she reports on her college roommate's daughter's wedding. Great party with real Roman ruins.  Nice touch. Liz was working all week in Madrid, a city she loves.  Now she feels even worse that Madrid did not win the 2020 Olympics yesterday. Lian's been home in the sweltering SoCal heat but staying inside gave her time to whip up a great Chico's and HGTV report! Plus some awesome letters from you, our true Satellite Sisters.  Thank you.

  • Satellite Sisters August 18: Special Summer Surprise Ending!

    18/08/2013 Duration: 01h16min

    This week's show is a little longer than usual due to some surprise ringing-in at the very end.  Bedeviled as we were by some connectivity issues at the start, it all turned out quite okay.  You are going to want to hang in for the full show to get the advance word on "Bamboo Dreams".  And no, we are not going to provide any hints about what that could possibily be, except this one:  Felt is involved.  Enough said. Other topics tackled before we get the the Bamboo Dreams finale? Some theories on mean shopgirls around the world.  Oprah, you are not alone. Book recommendations: one to read and one we are staying entirely away from for reasons that will be obvious in the discussion. Movie Talk:  The Way Way Back And some mailbag notes from you and to you, including a special shoutout to THE MAN IN THE SEERSUCKER SUIT. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
