LOVE SOMEONE with Delilah

America loves baseball, hotdogs, apple pie and a good 'come back' story. I'm so happy to be providing one of those today! David R. Mellor is the Senior Director of Grounds for the Boston Red Sox baseball team at Fenway Park where he oversees everything that involves the playing field. As a kid he dreamed of a pro baseball career, but weeks after his high school graduation a car careened out of control ending David's shot at the Big Leagues... or did it? Join David and I as we chat about how he charted a new course, some additional crazy things that happened to him along the way, his "discovery" that he had PTSD, and why he considers himself the luckiest guy alive! ~ DelilahSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Oh mama! The amazing Meghan Trainor is with me on this episode. She's smart, she's talented, she's sassy, she's kind, she's beautiful, and she's full of advice... all written out in her new book "Dear Future Mama" a guide to pregnancy, birth, and new motherhood.

He's a household name, and whether that's because you own one of his Lean Mean Grills, are intrigued with the fact that his 5 sons all have the same first name, because you're a boxing fan, or simply because you love the guys effervescent personality... when you say George Foreman, everyone knows who you're talking about! George sat down with me to tell me about the moving experience of observing his story - as a bystander - as the movie about his life was being made. Did you know he found his faith and became an evangelical pastor some 40 years ago? That he gave up boxing after a near-death experience, only to return to the ring and reclaim the title of Heavy Weight Champion of the World? It's all in the movie, "Big George Foreman" in theaters on April 28. But you'll want to listen to our conversation first. It's ahhhhmazing! ~ DelilahSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Waaaay back in November of 2021 I interviewed a delightful British author/illustrator named Charlie Mackesy. Charlie had written a book that the entire world had fallen in love with; "The Boy, the mole, the fox, and the Horse." Its message was one of hope, compassion, and above all, kindness. I was so thrilled last month when the animated film - that Charlie was hard at work on when we spoke - took home an Oscar at the 95th Academy Awards. The movie is just one more way to share Charlie's kindness with the world. I felt our conversation was worth and encore performance. Enjoy! ~ DelilahSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Internationally known voice-over artist, Cedering Fox, joins us on LOVE SOMEONE today! If you've ever watched The Oscars, The People's Choice Awards, The GLAAD Awards (or any number of other televised events,) you've heard her unmistakable voice and incredible announcing skills at work. Today I'm hoping to shine a light on Cedering's life's passion - WORDTheatre, a charitable organization she founded 20 years ago, bringing together incredible actors to read the words of impactful authors that "that awaken us to our humanity."  With large and small events in Los Angeles, New York, and London, a robust school visitation program, and access to video-taped presentations via their web page, a WORDTheatre membership is the gift you didn't know you needed, but won't want to wait to give yourself! Pull up a chair, and come on in as I chat it up with Cederling! ~ DelilahSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

One of my favorite authors of all time is with us today. His newest book, "Rise Today, Trusting God and His Promise", is my March Book Club choice, and several of his other titles, "Christmas Jars" & "Even The Dog Knows", to name a couple, sit on my book shelves. Jason, author, speaker, spreader of hope, faith, and kindness, gives us the gift of "Rise Today" during this Easter season. It’s a precious little hardback book, rightly likened to an “illustrated extended greeting card with a message that offers hope in dark times.”  Set your worries aside and join us for an uplifting 30 minutes! ~ DelilahSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you took a minute to read through Kelsey Grammer's bio, you'd see that when it comes to stage and screen, the man has done it all! His long and prestigious career includes acting, directing, producing and voice-over work, and he's taken home top honors and awards in all categories.  Beloved by millions for his role as Dr. Frasier Crane, today Kelsey joins us to talk about his portrayal of Pastor Chuck Smith in the movie, "Jesus Revolution", (in theaters everywhere February 24) which tells the story of the greatest spiritual awakening in American History. It's about one young hippie's quest, in the early 1970's, for belonging and liberation that leads not only to peace, love, and rock & roll, but also sets into motion a new counterculture crusade--a Jesus Movement--changing the course of history. Come on in - then get tickets for "Jesus Revolution"! ~ DelilahSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
