IMPROVE THE LIVES OF MORE PEOPLE BY GIVING THEM A VOICE

We’re not perfect, but we’re always striving to reach higher, achieve more and push further.

Lost opportunity

It’s great to hear these interviews again but would have been better if Oprah trained an upcoming journalist to track the people down to see what is going on for them now. Some of these interviews are 20 years old and I’m sure they have an even richer story to tell years on. I’ve listened to a few of these episodes and I remember them being interviewed on the Oprah show and I can’t help but wonder how they are doing today.

Nostalgic memories here

Thankyou for putting nostalgic Oprah episodes in a podcast! I didn’t know I needed this but I’m so glad to have it! ❤️
PS how inappropriate is Dr Phil in hindsight 🤔 he could never say these sorts of things about women these days. Nor should he have then probably! 🤷‍♀️
