Treasure Talks Podcast

Thank you for visiting Granny's page. This page will be dedicated to information concerning the "Treasure Talks with Granny" series that she and I are conducting. I will chime in periodically with thoughts and comments about each recording session and/or Granny memories/stories.

Episode 53: Ella escapes the Con talk

Happy Day! In this episode we get to know cousin Paul's daughter Ella. Chris reaches in the Brag Bag to tells us about his experience at Comic Con and we teach Granny what that means... We had lots of fun and you may too. Enjoy!

Episode 52: Special Delivery of Big News

Happy Day! We are back! Treasure Talks took a little hiatus while Granny got settled in to her new digs and now we are ready to continue the weekly meetings.... With so much happening in the past couple of months, this episode is packed solid. Chris has a great mailbag letter and a HUGE announcement to share. Granny shares some stories and some laughs. Terey drops by for the last 20 minutes to join in the celebration. A good time indeed! Enjoy!

Episode 51: Granny's New Digs

Happy Day! Granny has a new studio for us to record in...This was the first episode in the Mammy Z Suite Studios and it is a fun one. Terey joins us this time. Chris has a great letter from the mail bag. Granny shares her thoughts on where she is at physically now. Lots of laughter! Enjoy!

Episode 50: Heart for Hart

Happy Day! We are back with the 50th recording of the Treasure Talks with Granny podcast! Granny, Chris and I have been meeting regularly for a year and a half now to do these recordings. Admittedly, some have been more entertaining than others, but they serve as an interesting time capsule. Through our time together, we have got to watch the journeys of Granny (as she comes to grip with older age and all of the issues that come with it) and Chris (as he blossums into a man and explores the world of college life.) I could not be more proud than to have been able to help facilitate this project. I hope that someday these episodes will serve as a comfort and a resource for discovery, as it relates to the lives of these two amazing human beings.... This episode includes another great letter from Chris' mailbag, a deep conversation about understanding Aspergers, and many laughs. Enjoy!

And about Chris...

            Where do I begin? Oh yes. I was born at Oakwood Dearborn in the summer of 1996. It’s too bad that my family didn’t attend a campaign speech that year, because I think it would’ve been great to have President Clinton, Senator Dole or Ross Perot kiss Baby Chris! Anyway, my parents have always raised & encouraged my brother & I to be Christians. This is why I decided to get baptized when I was seven (through the Baptist church.) I have never regretted my baptism & am appreciative to Pastor Jim. I couldn’t be a prouder member of God’s community. I’m currently going to community college for paralegal studies. For those of you who don’t know, a paralegal assists lawyers with research & litigation.

            I’ve treasured my family ever since I was old enough to run around & be a part of the family scene. I can just barely recall the lively parties at Faith In God (which my Grandpa Paul founded). The DeLisle family is full of cousins, aunts & uncles. But most importantly, we ALWAYS have fun when we get together. And a few of us get ringing ears (with all due respect, we DeLisles can be quite loud sometimes!) Family is irreplaceable and I would never want to offend any of my family members

            Treasure Talks has been a grand & unforgettable experience for me. Cousin Josh, Granny Hazel & myself recorded our first episode on Thursday, June 11, 2015 (yes, I did look that up, even though I usually have an elephant memory!) My favorite episodes are Episode 5 (with one of our first guests, Cousin Shannon), Episode 24 (where we spontaneously interviewed Granny’s neighbor Dusty) and Episode 30. I am truly thankful to Josh for letting me be a part of this endeavor. To be honest, the two of us really didn’t know each other that well before our podcast debuted. The way I look at it, Josh could have chosen almost any of his cousins to help run Treasure Talks (we have almost thirty DeLisle cousins!) But Josh wanted his fellow podcaster to be someone who grew up knowing Granny & had experienced her unconditional love.

And a special thank you to Granny for opening up her home to Josh & I every week. When I think of senior citizens, I envision an old geezer either turning away visitors or scaring away visitors with their crankiness. That is NOT the impression that anyone would get when they meet Granny. I believe one of our fans said it best: Granny is the definition of love. Granny has never complained about having too many friends. She truly appreciates people & accepts them for who they are. This makes sense, considering Granny used to watch Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood with me when I was a young lad!

            If you’re still reading this tangent of a biography by now, I want to tell you that Josh, Granny & I greatly appreciate our listeners. Treasure Talks is a small thing the three of us can do for the world, but we always enjoy each other’s company. And we like to share our strategies (for lack of a better word) on how each of us tries to be a kinder & happier individual. As Grandpa Paul used to say at Faith In Good sermons, “3, 2, 1, Glory!” Enjoy Treasure Talks!
