The Oprah Podcast will feature weekly conversations between Winfrey and thought leaders, cultural icons and more, as well as one conversation per month with an author from Oprah’s Book Club, in partnership with Starbucks. The podcast will be available on Oprah’s YouTube channel, with the audio versions available on all platforms.
Episodes will be released each Tuesday, kicking off on Dec. 3 with a conversation with Oprah’s Book Club author Claire Keegan on her book Small Things Like These. Each author interview will be filmed in Starbucks cafes, with the first conversation taking place at the Starbucks Reserve Empire State Building store in New York City and each book will also have an official Starbucks beverage pairing.
“Connecting with people about what matters to us in this moment, so we can all continue to reach our highest, truest potential is what I’m most interested in offering at this time in my life,” Winfrey said. “As one of my greatest pride and joys this past 30 years has been introducing books to new audiences, I am delighted to partner with Starbucks as we craft this new podcast. It is the perfect opportunity to bring together readers around things we both love: books, coffee and conversation.”
“To know that Oprah Winfrey took pleasure in reading my book is the most exquisite compliment, which will last my lifetime,” Keegan said. “To be told that she has also recommended it for others to read and has chosen this novel for her book club is a tremendous honour. May her wonderful book club encourage people into reading for years and years to come.”
Additional upcoming guests include Mel Robbins on Dec. 10, Daniel Pink on Dec. 17, Ina Garten on Dec. 24, Dr. Vivek Murthy on Dec. 31 and another author to be named on Jan. 7.
