LOVE SOMEONE with Delilah

It's been a minute since I was able to sit down and talk with the inimitable Sarah McLachlan, but today I got my chance! Sarah is in a new chapter of her life and releasing new music that reflects the experiences that have shaped her and her dreams for the future. BETTER BROKEN, releases on September 19th and it is as soulfully beautiful as anything we expect from this three-time GRAMMY winner, an uncompromising but radically illuminating truth about the state of the human condition. Grab a cup of tea, cozy in, and join us for this intimate chat.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Many of us, (of a certain age) know John Ratzenberger from his portrayal as Cliff Claven from Cheers, and many more of us (of a much younger age) know his voice from his Pixar characters; Hammy from Toy Story, Mack from Cars, and The Underminer from The Incredibles... But he's with us today to talk about a lesser known role, that of Mike, an angel, in an early Dallas Jenkins movie, "What if...". "What if...", released several years before "The Chosen", was Dallas' first movie production. John says all his roles have been an angel of some sorts - he always plays the good guy - but only as Mike did he get to deck someone. lol  Re-releasing on its 15th anniversary, "What if..." is in theaters August 5th and 7th only. Come spend some time with John and I and find out more!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Fairly OddParents, debuted almost 25 years ago and is Nickelodeon’s second longest-running television series of all time. Its creator, legendary animation pioneer Butch Hartman, recently launched Butch Hartman Studios to produce uplifting, original, faith-based and mainstream animated programming for kids and families. He hit the ground running with The Garden Cartoon series, and now there's a Garden movie, "The Greatest Thing Ever!", coming in July! Butch and his partner/wife Julieann, drop in on us today to tell us all about the new movie, it's two main characters, "Lenny the Lion" & "Lucy the Lamb" - and a lesser but oh-so-wise call-in radio character, "Delilah the Deer"!  Will we get any clues as to what the Greatest Thing Ever is?

Most known as one-third of the 7x Grammy award winning group Lady A, seasoned and celebrated singer-songwriter Charles Kelley is also a chart-topping performer on his own. His 2016’s solo debut "The Driver", led to another Grammy nomination and now he's releasing his second solo project. "Songs for a New Moon", out on June 25th, has a full-on 80's sound, without, as Charles calls it, any "country insurance". It's 16-tracks of feel-good music for a time when we need some of that! Pull up a chair and join Charles and me as we chat about the new album, a new baby, and his new lease on life after he found sobriety. All the good stuff! ~ Delilah  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Best known for her roles on “Everybody Loves Raymond”  and “The Middle”, Patricia Heaton knows how to find and share the humor in everyday life. She's as real and relatable as the characters she portrays, and is bringing those qualities to another career defining chapter - that of producer.   FourBoys Entertainment is the name of the production company she founded with her husband, David Hunt, and "Unexpected" is a prime example of their exemplary movie making. A heartfelt dramedy that brings humor and honesty to the emotional complexities of infertility and adoption... It's a film about embracing the unpredictable beauty of life. Hang out with us for a while and get to know Patricia a little better. She's ahhhmazing! ~ DelilahSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The last name may be familiar, but A.J. Croce is as unique as they come. This seasoned multi-talented singer/songwriter/instrumentalist has spent nearly 40 years in the music business and has an impressive catalog of his own. He's played with the best of the best, and in addition to his wide array of talents and abilities, is also wonderfully warm, witty and wise. Spend some time with us getting to know A.J. You'll fall in love a little, like I did. He's got a new album - Heart Of The Eternal - and tour dates coming up, so we have that to look forward to. (And don't we all need wonderful things to look forward to?!)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From children's productions, to superhero, to football legend, Tony-nominated actor, Zachary Levi,nshines in roles so diverse it's impossible to guess where one might see his talents next.  Well, no guessing needed this month because he's here to tell us all about his latest role, that of Scott LeRette, in "The Unbreakable Boy" in theaters now. Scott is the real-life father of an amazingly upbeat, resilient young boy, Austin LeRette, who has every reason not to be either of those things.  Austin is both autistic and has brittle bone disease, but with Scott’s growing faith and Austin’s incredible spirit, they become “unbreakable,” finding joy, gratitude, and courage even in the most trying times — it's an extraordinary true story about a father and son learning together that every day can be the best day of your life! Join us for this powerful conversation then go see the film! ~ DelilahSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This Valentine's week, we've been given a gift from the heart - from music legends Sir Elton John and Brandi Carlile. "Who Believes In Angels?" the single, dropped last week, and an album of the same name will be available in April. Sharing generously of their time, these two dropped in to tell me all about the collaborative project, the highs, the lows, and the splendid outcome! Turns out, the making of the album was filmed and at some point we'll all get to watch the process. There's so much to look forward to but for right now, enjoy the conversation and this brilliant new song, "Who Believes In Angels?".  (I do!) ~ DelilahSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Oh my! What a treat it was to talk with Craig T. Nelson today, who is starring in a new movie, "Green and Gold", in theaters January 31st.  In it, he portrays Buck, a fourth-generation Wisconsin dairy farmer who, along with his granddaughter, fight to preserve their way of life, as small family farms disappear across America. Facing foreclosure, they wager everything on their beloved Green Bay Packers in a hail-Mary effort to save their little chunk of dirt. Craig T. is warm and gracious, earnest in his support of America's farmers, and hopeful for their future. Don't miss this conversation and don't even think about missing "Green and Gold"!  ~ Delilah  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
