Sheila's got snacks and a first date report, Julie's in our Wondery Studio with us and Liz is home from DC visit

Sheila's got snacks! We run the gamut this week from new research on women in the workplace to some hot TV shows. First our Satellite Sisters Of The Week: Congrats to the astronauts who executed the first ever all-female space walk and to Ann McClain, the woman left behind who cheered them on. Personally, we would have behaved more like Aidy Bryant on the SNL skit.

According to McKInsey and Fortune Magazine, what's between you and that last big promotion? It's not getting that first big promotion. They call it "the broken rung" and it appears to be the biggest system barrier to gender parity.

Liz has her first visit to the National Museum of African American History and Culture. It won't be her last. Want to meet America's Sweetheart? Here's Adam Rippon's Book Tour Schedule

Who is sticking up for Meghan Markle? We are. Hang in there, sister.

The latest fights on planes? Julie says it's about the window shades now and she's got some rules.

Entertaining Sisters:

Watch the new Catherine the Great with Helen Mirren on HBO

Read Circe by Madeline Miller.

Just catching up on Succession? Us, too. Liz and Sheila have Succession confessions.

Using Improv to Spark Creativity and Fall Book Recommendations

Today on the podcast, we follow-up on Liz Dolan's whereabouts (The World Track & Field Championships in Doha), the new law in California for college athletes, some Fall Organizing tips that we don't want to follow, our Fall Book Recommendations and interview Jorjeana Marie about using improv to spark creativity.

Thanks to Jorjeana Marie for coming into the studio. Find out more about her and her book Improv for Writers here.

Fall Books We Love:

From Lian:

The Dutch House-- Ann Patchett

Beautifully written novel about a broken family and the two siblings that emrege from the wreckage. Novel of memory-- a warning. You?re either going to love that-- or not. 

The Nobodies-- Liza Palmer

This is a super fun page turner about a former journalist that goes to work at a tech companyy as the lowest person in the department. But her journalistic instincts kick in when she senses something in off behind the scenes. Liza Palmer is the best-selling author of Conversations with the fat Girl and she based her novel on her real life experiences going to work at BuzzFeed. So sosososos funny.

We Met in December-- Rosie Curtis

For fans of Rom Coms and British people saying funny British things and drinking way too much on the weeknights. Engaging romance that unfurls over a calendar year.

Bringing Down the Duke -- Evie Dunmore

Take a regency romance and ramps it up with a fun storyline you don?t see often-- womens suffrage! 

From Julie

A Single Thread -- Tracy Chevalier

A pre World War II story about a women who uses her stitching to connect with other women and the world

Things You Save in a Fire -- Katherine Center

Firefighters. Boston. Romance. Funny. We're in!

Reminder about GoodReads + BookClubGirl for The Sweeney Sisters give-aways

Downton Abbey Recap, #staynoisy Women, Investment Clubs for Women, Global Travel

Downton Gabby is back as Lian and Julie recap the Downton Abbey film. Disloyal tomfoolery, indeed!

Julie's Tuesday trends:

Mass Weddings

Lavender Everything

Where in the world is Liz Dolan? You can find out about her latest adventure by following @SatSisters on Instagram and #satsisterstravel. Liz has provided these clues: She'll be in a country she has never visited before, after flying there on an airline she has never flown.

Inner Fitness Life Coaching, Urban Nana, NASA's Artemis Program, Cheese-filled Wedding, Serena Williams and Steph Curry

Lian recounts the personal growth aspects of her visit to Rancho La Puerta with her husband and highly recommends the Inner Fitness Program from life coach Emily Boorstein. Emotional learning!

Nasa has promised to send a female astronaut to the moon on the next trip. Here's our favorite cheese-filled wedding announcement. Much better than this story about out-of-control bridesmaids celebrations. And Amanda Knox crowd-sourcing her wedding? We don't get it.

On today's podcast, we recap the big family engagement party that Lian and Julie threw for Sheila's daughter Ruthie and Liz's 40th College Reunion at Brown. Plus, Julie had a family medical emergency when her son contracted Guillain-Barre Syndrome. Thanks to some excellent medical care at Columbia-Presbyterian from a Rothy's wearing doctor, he's better now but she's headed back to Brooklyn to provide some more family support.

Royal Baby Sussex,Working Hours vs. Working Parents plus Dance AND POETRY!

Welcome, Baby Boy Sussex. Well done, Meghan and Harry! That's the good news. Here's the bad news in one NYT headline: Women Did Everything Right. Then Companies Got Greedy. How American's obsession with long hours has widened the gender gap.

Forget Fosse Fosse Fosse. We love Verdon. Verdon. Verdon. If you are not watching Fosse/Verdon on FX, we recommend!

On a related note, is dancing the new kale? We discuss: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/30/well/move/health-benefits-dancing.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share

Give A Listen: Imagined Life

Satellite Sisters is off this week so we wanted to share an excerpt from another Wondery podcast we enjoy called Imagined Life. This starts with a special intro from Liz.

Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to walk in the shoes of a legend?

In Imagined Life, you can play along as you are immersed in the story of a notable celebrity, living their life from their point of view?persevering through poverty or bullying, and finding joy in self acceptance. 

Are you a legendary musician, or maybe a famous entrepreneur? Clues about your identity are dropped along the way, but only at the end of each episode will you learn who ?you? really are.

Hosted by actress Virginia Madsen (Dune, Candyman, Sideways) and voice actor Robbie Daymond (Spider-Man, Tuxedo Mask), each episode of Imagined Life will immerse you into an individual's innermost thoughts as they experience adversity, hope, trial and error.

If you enjoy this excerpt, subscribe to Imagined Life on Apple PodcastsSpotifyStitcherWondery.com and wherever podcasts are available.

Remember, you can always catch up on Satellite Sisters episodes you may have missed over the years. We've got hundreds of them! Subscribe at Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher or Wondery.com. And we love when you share your favorites episodes with your own Satellite Sisters and Misters.

Notre Dame Remembrances, Lori Loughlin Pleads Not Guilty, Bitter Business Bureau, Abby Wambach Podcasts + Our Book Recommendations.

We start with our remembrances of Notre Dame, after yesterday's terrible fire. Then more from The Edna and Jim "I've Already Been To College" Update on the Admissions Scandal: It's not looking good for Aunt Becky

Books: At the wonderful LA Times Festival of Books, which attracts more than 100,000 visitors, Liz went to panels featuring:

Frederick Douglass Prophet of Freedom by David W Blight. It just won the Pulitzer for History

The New Negro: The Life of Alain Locke by Jeffrey C Stewart. Just won the Pulitzer for Biography.

Bad Blood by John Carreyroux, about Theranos, which we have discussed on previous podcasts.

Say Nothing by Patrick Radden Keefe about The Troubles in Northern Ireland.

Bitter Business Bureau. Wait a sec. The Uber people are going to make $100 million dollars in a IPO for a company that LOST a billion dollars in 2018?? We could think of plenty of business ideas that could LOSE money.

We admire Abby Wambach and recommend her new book Wolfpack plus two really great interviews with her: TBD with Tina Brown podcast and Norah O'Donnell on CBS This Morning podcast on Stitcher..

Cheeseboarding, Brexit, What We Want In Restaurants, Theranos Book + Doc + Podcast

Is snowplow parenting related to the college admissions scandal? We think so.

Brexit. Could it be going any worse? In a word, no.

This woman who feels no pain. It seemed cool until we read the part about her flesh burning.

The right restaurants for those of us over 50.

How to talk to dogs. And yes we'd like to see them on court at the U. S. Open. Who wouldn't?

Breakdancing in the Paris Olympics? Oui ou non?

Julie recommends following Harry and Meghan in instagram here @sussexroyal.

We are going to see Patrick Radden Keefe and John Carreyroux at the L A Times Festival of Books. Here's the whole schedule. Are you going? There's also a special audio Sound Trip: An Immersive Experience from our podcast network Wondery.

College Admissions Scandal, NASA Fail, Audiobook Recommendation: Say Nothing

The College Admissions Scandal is a story tailor-made for the Satellite Sisters. Remember, Julie was an admissions officer and Lian hosted a podcast called College Bound Chronicles. Today we tackle the news story we suspect will keep on giving. Best coverage is here in the LA Times. Plus, we just love the name Operation Varsity Blues. In other news, NASA lets us down. Really NASA? Not enough spacesuits for TWO women? Plus we report on our Spring Break activities. Julie was on Urban Nana duty in Brooklyn, Lian was on her writer's retreat in Sonoma Valley and Liz was in Bend, Oregon avoiding doing her taxes. Want to understand WHY you procrastinate?

In Entertaining Sisters, we recommend the audiobook Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder and Memory by Patrick Radden Keefe. Plus Julie saw the movie US and the Broadway version of Frozen.
