The show will be hosted by DEF LEPPARD drummer Rick Allen, featuring live interviews with celebrity guests and cutting edge professionals working in the fields of health, wholeness and resiliency.

"We found it impossible to be in more than one place at a time and in trying to figure out how to reach a greater number of people, it hit us! A radio show," said Rick Allen, co-founder of the Raven Drum Foundation, when explaining the origins of Resiliency Radio. "Each episode will focus on a different method to find balance and well-being. Listeners will hear about various techniques and call in with questions and comments," stated Lauren Monroe, co-founder and co-host.

BlogTalkRadio combines the dynamic format of a radio talk show with the benefits of web social media, each month drawing millions of listeners tuning in and joining the conversation.

The show will be available at www.blogtalkradio.com/resiliency-radio or, when away from the Internet, listeners can call 347-843-4903 to listen live.

Listeners who become a blogtalk subscriber of Resiliency Radio by February 24, 2010 will be entered in a raffle to win a personalized out-going message for their voicemail recorded by Rick Allen. Winner will be chosen during the first live show.
