LOVE SOMEONE with Delilah

Country music is part romance, part mystery, and part yearning for a simpler time.LeeBricebrings that all to the table - and to our podcast today - with "Hey World" his 5th studio album. This larger than life country artist is kindness itself, and that theme runs through all his music, old and new. I was especially touched by the singles, "Sons & Daughters" which speaks to the single truth that for all our differences, every one of us "is somebody's son, somebody's daughter" as well as "Lies" uncovering the sad reality that "the cruelest lies of all the lies we tell are the one's we tell ourselves..." Of course there's upbeat, fun, and funky tracks too, like "One Of Them Girls", "Atta Boy" and "Don't Need No Reason." "Hey World" is a much needed anthem to help us navigate the crazy on our way back to some much needed stability. Pull on yer boots and join us! ~ Delilah

February is dedicated to matters of the heart, and my guest today, Katrina McGhee, from the American Heart Association is here to encourage us to make sure that we care for our hearts! Shockingly, heart disease is the leading cause of death for women, and too many people are unaware of this. Awareness, education, and even small changes in our eating and lifestyle habits can change this story. Katrina will tell us how it's done. She'll also encourage us to WEAR RED on February 5, to help bring awareness to women's heart health, and to strike up a conversation with those in your circle about the importance of self-care. Additionally, Katrina founded the "Loving On Me Academy" which is your go-to place if you're looking to put yourself in the driver's seat of your life and your health. She'll tell us all about in today's conversation. I'll keep doling out advice on keeping your emotional heart healthy, and Katrina will continue telling you how to keep your physical heart beating long and strong. Join us! ~ Delilah

Ever heard of a Broadway production called "Hamilton"?? How 'bout the lead character, Aaron Burr??? If you're nodding, yes, yes, yes, you'll be excited to hear that Tony Award winner, Leslie Odom, Jr., will be joining us today on my podcast!

Though Broadway is taking a break, Leslie has been doing anything but - he's been a busy busy man! For one, he's released a Christmas album, two, he stars in a movie opening on Christmas Day, AND, this past Sunday, he hosted the CBS special, "A Home For The Holiday's" to help raise awareness of foster care adoption. He's everywhere - including here with us!

Join in and get the full-scoop on our last podcast of 2020, with Leslie Odom, Jr.! ~ Delilah

Josh and I go waaaaaaay back, before he was a global superstar (but very well on his way!) His recordings have become nearly synonymous with the Delilah Christmas program; that smooth, soulful, touch-your-heart sound. It's been a while since we touched base though, so I'm so tickled to have him join me on the podcast today.

Mr. Groban has a beautiful new album that dropped last week, 'Harmony' - it includes some covers, some collaborations, and some brand new pieces that weren't originally intended for the project, but came from the time Josh had in his studio during the spring's lock-down. (The incredible music that has come from this terrible situation reminds us that life is full of silver linings!)

We get to hear all about the album and all about what's going on with the one and only Josh Groban - including musings on how learning to cook and making music have several similarities! Join us! ~ Delilah

“Come, they told me, pa rum pa pum pum...” Follow me to for KING & COUNTRY's "Drummer Boy Drive-In" concert series!

Today’s podcast episode is terrific times two!!! Brothers from down-under, Joel & Luke Smallbone, are calling in. They’re currently on tour, but taking some time out just for us - to tell us about their safe and creative way of entertaining fans this holiday season. There'll be a little ribbing between siblings, some chit-chat about raising kids (or spoiled pets,) and we question whether or not road-trip potty breaks are really necessary! lol

It was such a treat to get to know these two handsome, wholesome, dynamic entertainers. Join us! ~ Delilah

I find absolutely every one of my guests on LOVE SOMEONE with Delilah a delight to speak with, but on today's episode, you'll have to excuse the excited squealing! She's been a constant in my life for my ENTIRE life, beloved by my grandparents, parents, myself and siblings, as well as my children and grandchildren. She's defied circumstances, stereotypes, gender bias... and age! I'd fill notebooks if I were to try to list all of her professional accomplishments, so I won't, because in reality, she is so well known, and so well loved, this guest really needs no introduction.

Ms. Dolly Parton is my guest today, here to talk about life, how she's kept busy during COVID, how she handles stress and negativity (hint, she doesn't - she prays and gives it to GOD) and how her mission in life is to spread joy, and love, and music! We'll talk about her new holiday album, "A Holly Dolly Christmas", all the guests collaborations, and so so so much more! Come on in! ~ Delilah

What I LOVE about having a podcast is being able to have real, uninterrupted, conversations with interesting, talented and inspirational people. This episode of "LOVE SOMEONE with Delilah" is just that kind of conversation, with a woman who truly has and does it all! Morning co-host of the most popular programs on television, singer, composer, author, actor, and loving wife and mother, the incredible Kathie Lee Gifford joins us today for some girl talk, and the inside scoop on her new movie, "Then Came You." It's a delightful rom-com - proving our second act can be just as scintillating as the first - filmed in the Scotland Highlands and co-staring the hilarious Craig Ferguson. Of course, Kathie Lee wrote the screenplay and the soundtrack... Join us as she dishes on her co-stars and why she chose them for their roles, how she's navigated life after losing her husband, and what might be next for this multifaceted sparkling gem of a woman. It's all here! ~ Delilah

What's the first thing you think when you get lousy service at a restaurant or at a hotel? Most of us are not happy, we're paying for service and expect to be treated like royalty! Today's guest on LOVE SOMEONE, Kevin Finch, of BIG TABLE is serving up some food for thought and reminding us that a healthy dose of compassion feeds the soul.

A once upon a time, pastor-by-day and food critic-by-night, Kevin, who spent a lot of time ministering to people, sensed a very great great need in the service industry - if you combine food service and hotel workers, this sector far exceeds any other organized work force in America. It's made up of some of the most vulnerable, at-risk people in our society. Low pay, long hours, crazy shifts, covered by at-risk teens, single parents, immigrant populations, and those who have served time... Barely living paycheck-to-paycheck with no guaranteed hours or benefits. It's a population plagued by addictions and circumstances beyond the comprehension of most of us who go out to dinner or on a vacation.

Kevin is working to fix this, flipping the script in a completely novel way. He's setting up his BIG TABLE (it's real and seats 48!) in communities like his home town of Spokane, Seattle and San Diego - and hoping to be in 10 cities across the country in 10 years. He serves those who serve us at his pop-up underground restaurant - and in daily conversations over cups of coffee. Whether it's much need transportation, supplies for a new baby, or educational assistance, you never know what might be dished up by BIG TABLE. Join us for one of the most fascinating stories I've heard in a loooong time! ~ Delilah
