Al Pitrelli, Trans-Siberian Orchestra's main lead guitarist and live musical director, spends time talking heart-to-heart with us today. 

TSO is the biggest holiday touring act in the history of the United States, playing to multi-generational, family-friendly crowds for over 25 years. Since 1999, they've played over 2,000 Winter Tour shows for more than 20 million fans and donated over $20 million to local charities.

Always a high-octane, pyrotechnic extravaganza, this year's program, "The Ghosts of Christmas Eve", will feature an all-new production alongside a special second set of hits and fan-favorites that includes a 25th-anniversary salute to Beethoven's Last Night.

A TSO Christmas concert is something my family looks forward to year after year. Once you attend, you'll be hooked too! Listen in!

Stage and screen legend, William H. Macy, joins us to talk about a powerful new film - in theaters this Friday 10/10 - "Soul on Fire".  The movie is based on the true story of motivational author and speaker, John O'Leary, who survived near-fatal burns as a child, and went on to inspire millions.

William portrays Jack Buck, baseball announcer for the St. Louis Cardinals at the time of John's accident. Jack was instrumental in John's recovery and William nailed the part. He talks about the movie, of course, but we get to know William too. To our delight, he's a low-key, affable guy with a great deal of gratitude for his life and love for his family. Listen in to hear who inspired William to become the man his is today. ~ Delilah

You might not recognize her without the outlandish wigs she dons as Queen Charlotte in Bridgerton, but Golda Rosheuvel shines as the overall-sporting stoic aunty Dinah that takes in her abandoned niece in the adorable film, GROW.

You'll love watching her character's transformation from gruff to gratitude. A delightful fall film about gardening, pumpkin wars, and what it means to grow as a family! There's a host of mad-cap characters, high stakes and high jinx!  In theaters October 17.

It was so lovely to speak with Golda. She's insightful, retrospective and absolutely amazing. Don't miss this conversation! ~ Delilah

When we "try" we're really just giving ourselves permission to postpone success, is the message from Carla Ondrasik, author of "Stop Trying: The life-transforming power of trying less and doing more."  Carla's book, which hits shelves today, outlines the steps and strategies to train your brain to filter out the noise, make choices, and step into the activity you've decided upon to meet a goal. 

A successful music executive who discovered and signed her now-famous husband, John Ondrasik of Five for Fighting, Carla knows what she's talking about. She's been putting it into practice for a very long time hitting her targets in business, in her marathon running days, in parenting, and as the president of her HOA. Now she can add "author" to the list of accomplishments her philosophy has led her to.

We had a delightful conversation. Come on in!

It's been a minute since I was able to sit down and talk with the inimitable Sarah McLachlan, but today I got my chance! 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.

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!

Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.

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
