Satellite Sisters History

Satellite Sisters is a weekly podcast produced by Mudbath Productions and sold by True Native Media. It’s an award-winning pep talk for modern women. Hosted by Lian Dolan, Liz Dolan and Julie Dolan, real sisters with very different lives, Satellite Sisters informs listeners daily lives with entertaining conversation, smart advice and positive support. With laughter and friendship, Satellite Sisters tackles current events, family/friends and pets, health and wellness, culture, travel and entertainment, work and careers, life transitions and decisions and bad haircuts. Satellite Sisters began its life as a weekly public radio show created with WNYC/ OPB and syndicated by PRI. Satellite Sisters then moved to ABC Radio where it was a live three-hour-a-day, six-days-a-week talk show for five years. In 2007, it became a pioneering podcast, one of the first for women. Now in its 20th year, Satellite Sisters remains an upbeat, female-forward spot in the media landscape.

In addition to the podcast, the Satellite Sisters have written two books, Satellite Sisters Uncommon Senses and You’re the Best: A Celebration of Friendship. They’ve written for O, The Oprah Winfrey Magazine and toured with Ms. Winfrey on her Hello, Gorgeous Tour. They were featured on CBS Sunday Morning, The Today Show and in print from People Magazine to The New York Times. They’ve won more than a dozen awards for excellence in women’s media.

Sheila is a swimmer and once went on a strenuous hike.

Monica Dolan has spent most of her career as hospital R.N. specializing in cardiac care.

Currently she is a clinical research coordinator for acute stroke trials at a university hospital. She has a B.S. from Georgetown, is single and lives in Portland, Oregon.

An award-winning podcast that’s part pep talk, part weekly check-in, like having coffee with a friend.
