We asked you to Ask Us Anything and you did. In this special BONUS podcast episode from 2018, you get a fresh installment of answers from Lian Dolan, Liz Dolan and Julie Dolan. We got to as many of your questions as we could, including a lightning round for each sister individually. What keeps us sane now? What's one thing we would do over? How do we produce Satellite Sisters? Were there times when we considered quitting? Do we ever fight? What are our hidden talents? Why did Liz step in and out of multiple corporate jobs during her career? Why did Julie live all over the world and what's her favorite place? What's the latest with Lian's next novel and what advice does she have for aspiring writers? We tackle all of this and more on this summer 2018 special. There are even some answers that surprised the sisters! Many thanks to all of you who posted questions in the Satellite Sisters Facebook Group.

Rico Gagliano joins Liz, Lian and Julie to talk about his book Brunch Is Hell, summertime entertaining and his impending fatherhood. He'll become a first-time dad in September and Urban Nana has some totally unsolicited advice. Rico will interview Lian Dolan at her Vroman's Book Launch for Lost & Found In Paris on April 6, 2022 at 7 pm.

We also discuss guilty pleasures (Lian does not like the term), why we get sick on vacation (the let-down effect) and and a few of entertainment recommendations. Julie just saw the Guggenheim exhibit Basquiat’s “ Defacement”: The Untold Story exhibit centered on painting by Jean-Michel Basquiat commemorating death of artist Michael Stewart and found it very powerful and timely. Liz has picked out a classic audiobook by Bill Bryson for her road trip: A Walk In The Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail.

This episode is a replay from July 2019.
