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.

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.

Seven years ago life came crashing into Faith Broussard Cade in the form of a tractor-trailor rig that hit her car from behind. She sustained a concussion and a traumatic brain injury. Unable to return to her career as a school counselor, and struggling in her role as wife and mother, Faith had to figure out how to create a life where her injuries were a part of her story but didn't define her. Her practice of writing herself daily little "love notes" that reminded her that she WAS ENOUGH, and the decision to post them to social media, was transformative. Now a virtual mental health counselor, and a content creator that shares about her personal healing journey to inspire women to prioritize peace, boundaries, and emotional well-being in their lives and relationships, Faith add's "Shine Bright Anyway - 90 Affirmations That Declare You Are Enough When The World Says You're Not" to her long list of personal successes. What a great way to kick-off Season 7 of "LOVE SOMEONE with Delilah!"See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nobody, but nobody, does Christmas like Michael Bublé does Christmas! This year he's gifted us with a beautiful new single, "Maybe This Christmas", recorded with Carly Pearce. He calls it "a special song that comes from a deep place" wrapping up his hope, his faith and his humanity, in a prayer for grace for himself and the world. I cried when I heard it. You will too. Michael took on a new role recently, as a coach on Season 26 of The Voice, and was gushing about it and the friendships he's forged with the other coaches when we sat down to chat. (Soon after our conversation, he became the first coach in the history of the show to have the top two artists on his team on his debut season!) He debuted "Maybe This Christmas" on the season finale, and today I get to share it all with you. Merry Christmas from Michael and me! ~ DelilahSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hungry for a little inspiration? I've got a heaping helping of it on today's podcast episode. Grammy nominated Aloe Blacc, singer, songwriter, activist... is not only a great talent, but a great role model. Aloe shares his brilliant life philosophies, like why 'raging against the machine' won't get us nearly as far as love will. We DO talk about his music, his recent single, "Shine (Aurora's Anthem", his upcoming album, "Stand Together" but we spend a lot of time sharing from the heart about how we can make the world a better place. By shining a light on important social issues, Aloe hopes to empower individuals and communities, reminding us all of our shared responsibility to uplift one another and contribute to a brighter future.As Oliver Twist once said, "Please sir, I want some more." ~ DelilahSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

He's not 12 years old anymore, but Joey McIntyre is still the youngest member of New Kids on The Block, who are still performing to sold out crowds! But the very talented Joey has a lot of other things in the works too.

We'll cover all of this and a lot more in this episode of LOVE SOMEONE! ~ DelilahSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's not Christmas without "Last Christmas", released by English pop duo WHAM! 40 long years ago. I'm in disbelief that I've been spinning that tune for as long as I have. George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley - as WHAM! - set out to conquer the music world in 1982. They were still teenagers! And it was in 1986 they performed together as WHAM! for the last time after successfully completing their mission. Hit after hit - "Wake Me Up Before You Go Go", "Freedom," "I’m Your Man",  and of course, "Last Christmas", made their time in the spotlight white-hot. The lifelong friends became one of the most globally successful pop acts of the 1980s, selling more than thirty million records worldwide! Join Andrew Ridgeley and me as we talk of the old days, of his friend, George Michael, of the Netflix's feature documentary, "WHAM!", the BBC1 production, "WHAM!: Last Christmas Unwrapped", and so much more. We've saved it for someone special!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Late night host, friend to all, holiday connoisseur, Jimmy Fallon, has announced  a comedy Christmas album, "Holiday Seasoning" coming down the chimney on November 1!  A  collection of all original songs with collabs from some of the biggest superstars on the (snow) globe, like Dolly Parton, Meghan Trainor, The Jonas Brothers, and more! Jimmy is here to dish on his album, share some memories of his childhood Christmases, and to spice up your holiday playlist!

Two-time Emmy Award Winning journalist, former anchor of Good Morning America, former co-anchor of “20/20”, and current co-host of "Amy & T.J.", Amy Robach joins me today to share a powerful message during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. We talk about Amy’s surprise on-air diagnosis and how her family supported her through her treatments and recovery. About the power of early detection and all the advances in treatment and outcomes.

Need a laugh? Anjelah Johnson-Reyes, my podcast guest, is one of the most successful stand-up comedians today with six comedy specials streaming on various platforms and selling out theaters across the world.   She may be most well known for her hilarious Nail Salon Sketch that's become part of our everyday vernacular. Most recently she launched a Mental Health podcast called Funjelah that focuses on gratitude, because, in Anjelah's words, "When you remind yourself of what you’re grateful for and say it out loud, you’re not only speaking good into the world, but good into yourself."  Funjelah offers dose after healing dose of gratitude and humor. Enjoy a few laughs on us! ~ DelilahSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"Beneath the Lion's Wings" may be a work of fiction, but the love story at the heart of this beautiful novel by Marie Ohanesian Nardin is as real as it gets! Join Marie and I as she recounts how she fell in love with a handsome gondolier her water taxi passed on a Venetian canal some 40 years ago and how it shapes her novel. The book's characters, Victoria & Alvise, face a different set of circumstance than Maria and her husband, Roberto, did, but the same spark drew them together.  This podcast episode is two love stories in one. You won't want to miss either! ~ DelilahSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You're used to hearing and seeing her name as it relates to star performances in movies like "Almost Famous", but today... today we'll be talking with the gorgeous, delightful, multi-talented Kate Hudson about her debut music album, "Glorious". She's not an actor turned singer-songwriter, it's just who she's always been, but she's just now revealing this side to us.  I love that at 45 Kate is still exploring, still reaching, still challenging herself and sharing the amazing results with us. I hope there's a nugget of inspiration in there for you to spend some time on something that's been percolating for a while. Show the world what you're made of! ~ DelilahSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
