Princess Diana, Martha Stewart, Summer Salads, Nana Camp, Phelps vs. Bogus Shark

Satellite Sisters podcast is brought to you by Harrys.com and Rover.com. On today's Satellite Sisters podcast, Lian Dolan, Julie Dolan and Liz Dolan announce plans for two special episodes about the Aug. 21 total solar eclipse, share their disappointment with Michael Phelps vs Shark and share their love of a heartbreaking new Princess Diana HBO documentary called Diana Our Mother and a classic episode of Say Yes To The Dress with guest star Martha Stewart. There she is in all of her chilly glory! First up, on August 1, 2017 we will release Eclipseolypse 2017: The Satellite Sisters interview astronomer Robert Kirshner PhD.  Dr. Kirshner is one of the world's leading astrophysicists, the Clowes Professor of Science at Harvard University, the Chief Science Officer at the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation and, perhaps most importantly, our cousin Bobby. Thank goodness we have a family astronomer to help us understand everything we need to know about eclipses before the big event on August 21. Our second Eclipseolypse 2017 Satellite Sisters Special will drop on August 22, the day after Liz and Monica have experienced the totality. Be sure you have subscribed to Satellite Sisters on Apple Podcasts or Stitcher so that you get both of these special episodes.

Lian is outraged that the international governing body of of swimming called FINA changed the name of Synchronized Swimming to Artistic Swimming. We have taken a pledge to never use that name even though they do wear nose clips and makeup. It's an incredibly athletic event. Let the athletes sound like athletes! Lian is still sniffling after viewing HBO's documentary about Princess Diana called XXXX. It features really moving personal interviews with her sons Will and Harry. We miss you, Diana. In Lian's downtime, there's nothing she enjoys more than bingeing on Say Yes To The Dress. This weekend she found the best episode ever. Martha Stewart as special guest in all her chilly Martha-ness. You have to find it and watch. Julie had a great Nana Camp experience crafting with a cool kit from Skullduggery. Good thing she had 10 year old Alice there to explain it to her! Success.  Easy Breezy! It's summer so we are required to talk about summer salads. Lian shares a recipe and her secret ingredient. And Julie has one Tuesday trend about the woman who invented the self-cleaning house. Sounds great until you realize that it's like living inside a dishwasher. Liz has a stalement with a neighbor in the parking garage. Grrrrrrr. Followed by a total fail at Meditation Class. Those two things might be related. Operation Sea Turtle struggles along.
