Our third big announcement is this:  Starting October 1, we will post a new show every Thursday entitled Satellite Sisters "You're The Best" Encore Interviews.  There are our favorite conversations over the years with some of our solid gold Satellite Sisters and Misters.  The first three will you get in October will be Nora Ephron, Julia Louis Dreyfus and JJ Abrams.  Listen.  Laugh. Share.  Now to this week's news: Lian covers the Pope's visit. We're glad that humility, mercy and joy are making a comeback.  Plus, good week for you, Fiat. Bad week for Volkswagen. Monica's a longtime VW owner and she has a broken heart about the VW Jetta TDI, a car that's ubiquitous in her hometown of Portland, Oregon.  Plus, she wants you to know about her new fence.  You've asked so she's ready to fill you in. Liz has a report from Emmy Awards last week and some details about hobnobbing with Lady Gaga and Fred Savage. You are going to want to watch his new show that premieres this week called The Grinder. It's hilarious.  Liz and Lian will both be seeing He Named Me Malala this week.  We encourage you to go, too.  Lian will have a complete review on next week's show. Julie and Liz discuss Black Mass about James Whitey Bulger starring Johnny Depp. Our father was friends with his brother Billy Bulger played by Benedict Cumberbatch. We've got our own Whitey Bulger tales. Finally, tales of New York.  Julie has a new installment of Urban Nana.  Monica shares a hilarious letter to the Social Cues column at the New York Times.     See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
