Summary

Writer Nancy Johnson joins the Satellite Sisters today to discuss her acclaimed debut novel The Kindest Lie. Plus Liz is back with a health status report and a big announcement on her theme for 2021. PLUS, her own review of the excellent service she received from Lian and her son Colin this weekend. They came to install and deinstall a few things that will make her recovery much easier. We are sad to read about Tony Bennett's Alzheimers. We've been there with our father. But we've got good news too - Julie on all the people who are jumping I'm to help with vaccinations around the country. On Entertaining Sisters, Liz recommends a new podcast series from Audible called The History of Sketch Comedy written and performed by Keegan Michael Key. Smart. Funny. 10 episodes. Julie and Lian both recommend The Dig on Netflix. Archeologist Twitter is abuzz. Julie has high hopes for Tom Hanks in News of the World. And we are all excited for a new romantic comedy called The Fussy Virgin from longtime Satellite Sister McGarvey Black. Her novel will be released by Bloodhound Books this week and we feel a little responsible (in a good way!).
