Hey guess what? You finally did it, you finally destroyed your own brand! We ALL KNEW you politics well before ‘24, but making it obvious to even your most obtuse supporters was really shortsighted. Too late now, can’t unring that bell. You’ve got plenty of funds so just slink into the background and let the adults talk now. Take your buddy Gayle with you.

Maui is the legacy of these evil people

So much wisdom in here. Somehow I magically always listen to what I need to hear the most. I just listened to Eckart Tolle, probably the most amazing, clarifying voice on our ego and individual and collective consciousness. So much to learn and apply in these times of big divisions we’re in!

Thank you for all your beautiful in-site to life and for bringing wonderful human beings to tell their story. Nate is an inspiration. Thank you!

I used to adore OW. She sold out for millions. Puts Americans last.

I love Oprah, but I have taken a break from this podcast, as I can’t reconcile why an otherwise brilliant and enlightened person such as her would choose to spotlight someone like Joel Osteen. It’s giving Dr. Oz and Dr. Phil vibes. It’s really not ok.

I like this podcast a lot. It’s great to reenter spiritually from time to time. I pick and choose the episodes. I like some are good some I can’t relate to. I’m not sure how I feel about the number of times wealth and having a lot of money has mentioned in the podcast. Feels gooey. In summary, thank you Oprah. Well done.

Uplifting and enlightening! Not loving all the ads but overall a great podcast!

So inspiring, but too many ads.

I love this podcast, but I wish Oprah were a bit more discerning. Joel Osteen is just not okay.

Progressive leftist evil loser

I not only listened twice to this conversation between Barbara Brown Taylor and Oprah - I also sent it to two friends who came to mind as I heard it. It offered healing to me. There is something especially precious about taking in spiritual ideas as a discussion- the delving in, the contrast that comes with two perspectives - it gives me space to bring my worldview in. Thank you.

Just in it for the 💰🤑🤑🤑

I just listened to Oprah’s interview with Jimmy Kimmel. I don’t know how I’ve forgotten what a great interviewer she is. I subscribed so I don’t miss it in the future.

Oprah is a multi billionaire—why does she have so many dang ads?? Interrupting a 20 minute conversation 4 times with 2-4 ads??? Ridiculous. You wanna give back? Make a podcast with no ads.

Just started listening after hearing Oprah’s excellent speech at the DNC. Great podcast here!

You continue to bring the message that is needed in my soul! To rise up and listen to my soul, to the purpose of my life! To say “blow my mind” god and follow!

Three commercials before the podcast begins and then six minutes in, more loud commercials. Turned it off at that point because the ratio between content and advertising is absurd. Does not matter how interesting the show may be, it’s just not worth the ordeal.

Invasive obnoxious ads. No excuse for poor advertisement etiquette.

Incredible! I am only in the middle of listening to my first episode (not episode 1 today) and I am so appreciative of how much this helps me understand and comprehend something I did not personally experience in my life, but am aware of. Thank you! :)

Love the content but the advertising editing is very jolting.

Thank you for every episode.

I just finished the interview with Tara Westover. I had many analogous experiences. The interview inspired a lengthy journal entry while comparing experiences in an attempt to understand our growth processes. Was/is there a better way to process & accept what happened? It’s challenging to tear down the facade of reality we were forced to accept by nature of dependence on our caregivers. Thank you both for the courage it took to write the book and the awareness to conduct a thoughtful, empathetic interview that facilitates compassionate awareness.

Truly love the content, thank you! But on some episodes, the transition to commercials is abrupt. Having a gentle transition or even consider front loading the commercials is preferred. Thank you

Really enjoy listening to this thought provoking and positive podcast. It often feels like it is speaking to the very issue I am dealing with at the time.

This show came in the time when I could not sleep because of a call that I took on the job the previous night. I had never lost a call. I lost the important hospital call. Hearing this broadcast help me to overcome the pain of making a huge mistake. And turn the page. Thank you thank you.

Thankful that Oprah has a place to continue inspiring us, and introducing us to others who can inspire us. Love the podcast!

Just read the title

So many ads ruin this otherwise amazing experience. I can’t listen to SS for long, sadly.

Oprah is one of my favorite A-listers. Her insightful questions and curiosity create valuable insights on her interviews. The topics are relevant and timely, her interview style is thoughtful, and her delivery is on the mark. You’ll garnish another vital piece of information listening to each episode.

I adore Oprah, however there are ads every 30 seconds to a minute in this podcast. Over and over and over. It’s kinda disgusting actually so unfortunately I am unable to partake of Oprah through this media.

Love all of the messages & good intentions to help others. I find myself getting annoyed at times because it seems easy for someone who has access to everything to give advice. Not everyone has the resources to help them at their disposal. I hope she shares more about when she had very little how she made things happen

I didn’t know what to expect but I don’t know why I ever doubted that Oprah would deliver an amazing podcast. Broken Open found me in a very low point in my life. So many powerful words to guide my vision. I’m so grateful to have found this episode. I can’t wait to listen to more. But best of all, I can’t wait to live my life and learn what it’s teaching me, especially in the painful moments that have truly helped me grow. Every time.

Dr. Phillips was spotted on in so many areas. Starting from today, I will implement many of these valuable tools in my own life. Thank you for letting God inspire you to write this book 🙌🏾🙌🏾

This interview was so enlightening! It really shifted my thinking around emotions! Oprah asked incredible, thought provoking questions that I know will continue to move me towards inner peace with my emotions.

I love the content, when I am able to listen to it. But the amount of commercials just gets me out of the content discussed.

Insane amount of ads that hinder the listening experience and she keeps interrupting her guests. Let them finish their thought instead of trying to prove you know how to say it better than them by overtaking the conversation.

I really couldn’t get into this podcast because there are so many commercials. I feel like 75% of the episode is commercials so to have to listen through all of that just to hear the content I came here for is painful. It makes it not worth the listen.

I enjoy Oprah’s work very much but, wonder why there is no new material on this podcast these days, or very infrequently. And I have to agree with others about the introduction of commercials, in the last year or two. I know we need to balance the reality of living in a modern day world that is dominated by commercialism, with possibilities of moving toward the creation of “ A New Earth”, but it seems commercial breaks could be much more balanced with the content, if played at the same volume level as the interview, and not so frequently interrupting, or as PBS does , with its sponsors acknowledged at the beginning and end of programming, vs the current injecting of commercials, in a way that dominates the program vs coexisting in balance with it.

So inspiring - will change my life - will release my suffering

Oprah never ceases to amaze me. By listening to these podcasts I learned so much and broaden my horizon. The topics Oprah covers and the specialists she brings in are just so interesting. I love everything about these podcasts. I’m excited to learn that Oprah is starting her own TV Nettwerk. these podcasts were a nice way to continue the Oprah show and I look forward to more from Oprah.

He’s someone who has so much to impart. I heard his advice about forgiveness and it helped me. Since that interview was 2018, 5 years ago, please do another interview with him. Thanks Oprah P. S. I just finished Cutting For Stone and I thought it was another masterpiece.

Phony b

What about Maui??? What really happened there?

I love Oprah. But this Podcast sounds so scripted! It does not sound natural. So chopped up in pieces vs a regular talk or interview with more flow. Sounds like she pre-records the questions, like reading from a script, then the person she interviews, responds on their own, the. Somebody edits the whole thing…. Weird I hope they fixed it. 🙏

Thank you so much for giving me an opportunity to re-live the glorious experience of reading The Covenant of Water. I added to my collection of wise sayings from the book. I cried. I basked in the beautiful prose once more. This is a book for the ages. I’m glad to know there will be a cinematic production in the future, I’m only sorry that David Lean is not around bring his brilliant mind to the daunting task at hand. Thank you, Oprah. Thank you, Dr. Verghese.

You’re a fat hog and a pedofile

I will be listening hard, into the flow when WHAM..”are you ashamed of your teeth” or some such booming ad disrupts, Can you find SOME WAY to lead into a break with grace????

The insane amount of ads packed in each episode is disruptive…pulls the listener out of the conversation.

Each episode contains simple yet profound truths. “The best gift you can give yourself is time” Oprah.
