Listen to the new Satellite Sisters show.  Liz provides a complete Las Vegas Trip Report on her road trip to the New Media Expo and The Podcast Awards.  Many thanks to Corny Koehl, Ian Punnett and Margery Punnett for the road trip/friendship/hilarity.  A highlight of the trip was a visit to the Cirque du Soleil Beatles show LOVE.  Highly recommened to all.  It was an amazing and moving and totally delightful experience and a good reminder in the midst of all the Vegas noise:  All You Need Is Love.  It's actually true.  Also at the New Media Expo, Liz was very happy to meet Matt Cox, host of Brunch With The Brits podcast.  Turns out that Matt Cox lived in Moscow when Julie Dolan did and he listened to Julie's reports about Moscow on Satellite Sisters.  Also on the show, Monica brings back her wildly popular segment Science of the Obvious.  She's got some science news on why we love our dogs.  And more news on the need to exercise.  So no shockers there.  Julie's back with Putin Watch.  She's paying very close

On today's Satellite Sisters, welcome back the Lab Rats.  Monica Dolan and Sheila Dolan join forces to determine whether or not it's true: Bon Appetit: Is Matzoh the new Toast?  Obviously,  Julie Dolan and Lian Dolan have taken strong pro-toast points of view on previous Satellite Sisters podcasts, but the Lab Rats have minds and paws of their own.  Also on today's show, Julie is up close and personal with Kevin Costner and comes away pretty impressed.  Impressed that he speaks up for victims of human trafficking and impressed as a good match for Sheila.   Liz is off the spend tonight with Arlo Gurthrie at Alice's Restaurant and tomorrow night with The Beatles in Vegas.  What's up with that?  She's there for the Podcast Awards.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
