 Delilah,
Delilah fell in love with the airwaves as an eleven-year-old Girl Scout on a field trip to local radio station KDUN-AM in Reedsport, Oregon. At fourteen she had her first show, “Delilah on the Warpath,” reporting school news and sports at the station, and by high school she was working
at KDUN-AM six days a week.
Today, over twenty-five years and fourteen stations later, Delilah’s internationally syndicated show plays in more than 250 markets across North America. Airing from seven p.m. to midnight in most markets, she plays requests or finds the perfect song for callers who have an inspiring, heart-rending or simply amazing story to share with the beloved radio host and her more than 8 million devoted listeners.
A single mother of ten children, seven of them adopted, and a devoted grandmother, Delilah lives outside of Seattle, Washington, on forty-five acres of gardens and farmland. Because of her personal experience with the foster care system, Delilah has established the Point Hope Foundation as a voice for forgotten children. The immediate focus of Point Hope is on refugee children in Ghana and special needs children in foster care.
