Intentional Talk Radio Network

Intentional Talk Radio Network works as an umbrella for more than one voice. The episodes here come from two programs: Black Women Speak, hosted by Collette Williams with Delia Gray as co-host, and Real Talk with Delia Gray, which Gray hosts. Titles carry the program name, a date and sometimes the names of the people featured. The two programs share a feed and a point of view. They do different jobs. Black Women Speak is where the national argument happens. It comes back more than once to one image, an American empire burning under the current presidency, and one opening promises that the hosts will be 'the ones to douse it.' A conversation with a guest introduced as a former strategist for President Barack Obama moves from bringing lost voters back into the Democratic tent to fears that the rules of the midterm cycle could be changed for political advantage. The SAVE Act is singled out as serious. Another episode asks listeners to really hear the words of a song that, the speaker says, is telling the truth. It then builds on a Facebook post that sets Republican anger over 13 soldiers killed in Afghanistan under Joe Biden against their acceptance of 13 deaths in the Iran war under Trump. Real Talk with Delia Gray stays closer to daily life. One episode starts with Gray marveling at her new glasses, pleased that she can read addresses from down the street instead of walking up to the mailbox. Another marks April Fool's Day with a jab about 'an April Fool in the White House,' then turns to gas prices that jumped a full dollar in a month, which the host ties to the war in Iran. It also flags a new Texas rule that keeps sodas, candy and cookies out of SNAP purchases: no birthday cake, although the ingredients are still allowed. A March episode marks Women's History Month with the story of an immunologist credited with a key role in the Moderna vaccine, offered as an example of Black women shaping global health. Gray describes Real Talk as a place to talk about everything and says she wants everyone to be able to join in with their opinions. Faith ties the two programs together. Gray leads an episode on the power of prayer with two guests and describes herself as not religious but very spiritual. On Black Women Speak, one speaker traces a Democratic allegiance to being a Christian from a union household. The tone stays informal and personal throughout. A host loses track of her notes and says so, and a Black Women Speak episode closes with Easter wishes and reminders to take care of others. For national party politics, start with 'Black Women Speak with Collette Williams 4.1.2026 - Adrianne Marsh'. For prices, local rules and prayer, Real Talk with Delia Gray is the better place to start.
