The Oprah Winfrey Show: The Podcast will launch on 3 March on Apple Podcasts and Spotify, People reports. The network will be releasing 25 years’ worth of episodes from the iconic talk show.
Oprah Winfrey Network president Tina Perry had this to say about the announcement: "As we head into a new decade, it’s a great time for fans of The Oprah Winfrey Show to revisit the joy, laughter and inspiration that kept us all tuning in daily for 25 years."
With years of unforgettable interviews, the talk show-turned-podcast has over 4 500 episodes at its disposal.
