Delilah

Delilah is the most-listened-to-woman on the radio in the U.S.  Her distinctive blend of story-telling, sympathetic listening, and encouragement – all scored with adult contemporary soft rock.  She says her show is a “safety zone where listeners take off their armor, slip into a ‘Mr. Rogers’ cardigan, sit around the electronic hearth and share their secrets.” She adds that her audience is “just like me and the two women working on the show, who were once listeners.  We are single parents who work hard to strike a balance between family and work life.  We also enjoy our friendships and remember to laugh as much as possible.”

Delilah is a mother of 14 children, 11 of whom she adopted.  In addition to a passion for children and radio, Delilah is devoted to music because “it touches the heart the way nothing else can.”  Her father had a Country-Western band, and her brother played in a Jazz band.  Though she writes lyrics, she cannot sing.  Delilah says, “I always wanted to be a performer, but I can’t sing, dance or act.  Luckily, I found I could talk!”

Delilah loves her work “because it has allowed me to bring together a distinct community of people who reach out to help one another.  We don’t try to fix people.  We listen.  We sympathize.  We empathize.  If the show has a message, it’s listen to your own gut.  Trust your own intuition.  Go where it leads.  Don’t give up.”
