Love Someone With Delilah

"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.

After starting out with humble beginnings singing in their father’s church in West Oakland, CA, The Pointer Sisters went on to achieve worldwide success and a place in pop music history. The eldest sister, and only remaining member of the original group, Ruth Pointer, continues to perform the music of The Pointer Sisters all over the globe with her daughter, Issa Pointer, and granddaughter, Sadako Pointer. What an absolute thrill it was to speak to this talented trailblazer. We laughed so much, especially when she caught me out on an on-air oopsie I made yeeeaaarrrs ago, and Ruth was listening!  The Pointer Sisters will be joining The Commodores and The Spinners for a limited engagement tour this summer through the fall sharing an "unforgettable evening of classics hits."

Leanne Morgan may be just getting started... but I think this conversation that we had back in September, deserves an encore! Since we chatted, Leanne has become an even hotter commodity!

Sir Nicholas 'Nicky' Winton was a young London stockbroker who visited Prague in December of 1938 where he discovers a large population of refugees fleeing the Nazis - and he knew he must do something, at least for the children. Back in London, Nick spent months arranging for foster families, passports, and documentation that would usher hundreds of children to safety... 669 children! 50 years later his story came to light in a remarkable way. Nick Winton lived his 106 years humbly, with the idea that service to others isn't a calling, it's simply what one does.Today, his son, Nick Winton, Jr., a soft-spoken, compassionate, storyteller joins us to talk about his dad and the film "One Life", starring Sir Anthony Hopkins, that is in theaters now.
