LOVE SOMEONE with Delilah

Frontman for the band bearing his name, DAUGHTRY sang his way to prominence on the fifth season of American Idol. Since then he's released four albums, all of which reached the Billboard Top Ten and have combined sales of over 8 million copies in the U.S. You probably know him for one of his smash singles, "It's Not Over", "Leave This Town", "Break The Spell", or maybe "Waiting For Superman."  Recently I got to know him for so much more! Chris came to hang out for a day at the farm so he could get the lay of the land before he performs at my annual Farm to Feast garden gala benefitting Point Hope. We had such an amazing time together laughing, talking, and checking in on Zena the zebra, Emmy the Emu, and Peek-A-Boo's new pups. His single, "As You Are,"  from the 2018 album, "Cage To Rattle", was written with his wife Deanna; An incredible testimony to unconditional love, it wrecks me, He even put on an impromptu performance for me in the studio, and I'm still a-swoon. I'm so glad you're joining us today on LOVE SOMEONE to share in the Daughtry experience! ~ Delilah Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I've admired the acting skills of today's guest for years and I've been equally impressed (and entertained) with his musical abilities! But it is his devotion to our Veteran's, our First Responders, and their families that propelled my esteem for him into the upper stratosphere. Gary Sinise is a man of talent, honor, and action. Join us as we talk about his new book, Grateful American, A Journey from Self to Service, and the work of The Gary Sinise Foundation, AND to hear of my own very personal (and profound) experiences with what Gary refers to as our "Freedom Providers." The audio quality of our interview isn't the best, but the man and his message are FANTASTIC on this episode of LOVE SOMEONE. ~ Delilah Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cozy up with me and a warm hearted, country music icon, television (cooking!) show host, and all around great gal... I'm talking about the one and only Trisha Yearwood! Fans (and whoa does she have fans!) may have never heard Trisha like this before. We're dishin' up truths about our lives and her spectacular main course, Let's Be Frank, an album of Frank Sinatra tribute numbers, 20 years in the making, now served. ~ Delilah Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

One late evening, while indulging in my favorite insomniac habit of watching documentaries, I stumbled upon Angela Tucker's CLOSURE.  This film, created by Angela's husband on a flip-phone, was only meant for her at the time of it's making. It's the step-by-step journey she went on to find her birth parents and something of herself she felt was missing. Angela, a bright, beautiful black woman was raised by strong, loving white parents in a predominantly white community. They gave her a loving foundation, a family, and a future, but her features did not match theirs - those of us who have no experience with this may not understand how difficult that can be for a child to process. Angela found her birth family and discovered many things about herself along the way. She also found her life's work created from a passion to help and support others on similar quests; sharing CLOSURE is one way of doing so.  Angela is among those warriors helping to make the world a better place, One Heart at a Time! Join us in the studio as she shares her story. ~ Delilah   Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Happy Mother's Day! To all of you who have been a mother; a birth mother, a step mother, an adoptive mother, a grandmother, a mothering aunt, a single dad that must carry both loads... I want to honor and thank you for a sometimes thankless job. Mother's are our unsung heroes, the givers of life, the ones who teach, who love, who sacrifice. Those who forgive the sometimes unforgivable, the supporters, the nurturers... The ones who care, always.I'm sharing some great calls from my archives that celebrate mother's and motherhood, and sharing my thought with you on the topic. Thank you for joining me on the special May episode of LOVE SOMEONE ~ Delilah   Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Exonerated after spending 45 years in prison for crimes he didn't commit - wasn't even remotely involved in - Richard Phillips has a remarkable attitude of grace and forgiveness. After seeing an article about him on-line, my staff tracked him down and he agreed to sit down and talk with me about his experience, his art, and his remarkable ability to stay positive and RISE ABOVE.  I'm thrilled to be able to share our conversation with you, and hope it provides some inspiration if you are going through rough times, or to to hold onto for future moments when you're not feeling too certain about things.  Enjoy! ~ Delilah Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What a privilege it is to be able to chat with an actress I have admired for so long! I don't watch a lot of TV, but I'm hooked on "This Is Us" and adore the character of Kate Pearson! When I heard Chrissy Metz is starring in a new movie, "Breakthrough" out on April 17, I was really eager to talk to her about it! We were joined by producer, DeVon Franklin, who coincidentally produced an animated Christmas movie I had a few lines in, "The Star." It was fantastic to get to connect with them both!Join me on this episode of LOVE SOMEONE with Delilah, where I barely contain my excitement over being able to talk with these two!  "Breakthrough" based on an amazing true story,  is a moving testimony to the power of prayer and love of family and community! ~ Delilah Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This. This is exactly what I've been talking with all of you about; the idea that to change the world, you must only listen to - then act upon - those little whispers in the heart. That's what Barbara Marlowe did when she saw a newspaper photograph of a little girl who desperately needed help. Their story is in the book "A Brave Face"  which I encourage you to pick up and read.  Barbara and Teeba shared their story with me also, and I can not wait for you all to hear what they had to say.  It's touching, awe inspiring, and so full of heart and soul, it will make you weep with joy. ~ Delilah Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With me today is my dear friend, Josh Groban, who I've been watching and cheering on since I first met him as a young 19 year old. We're having a little stroll down memory lane, talking about what's happening in his life right now, and looking ahead to a summer tour! (Many many venues, some indoor, and some out-door!)Josh and I share the belief that children should be championed! He's doing all he can through his Find Your Light Foundation - supporting children involved int the arts. http://www.joshgroban.com/foundation/mission. We agree that for kids to find themselves, they must first find their community - the glue that holds them together - and Find Your Light helps to do just that! Join us for a fun, inspiring, heart-to-heart chat, on this episode of LOVE SOMEONE with Delilah. ~ Delilah Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I recently got to cozy up to the charming and charismatic Pat Monahan, front-man for the iconic rock-band, TRAIN. We had such a good visit! Train is going on tour with the Goo Goo Dolls in the summer, they have a new album out, "Greatest Hits." and Pat's life is BUSY! But not too busy to share some time with us and never, ever, too busy to give credit to his wife, and love to his family. When you give this episode of LOVE SOMEONE with Delilah a listen, you'll soon discover, like I did, how much family means to Pat and how it influences his every waking - and sleeping - moment.
