We’re back for our second season! We’re bringing you two months of new episodes on some of the most iconic Oprah moments.

This episode, we discuss the talk show scene in the late 80s and early 90s, and how Oprah sought to transform herself and evolve past the “trash TV” scene of Jerry Springer, Geraldo Rivera, and more. It’s the evolution from Oprah 1.0 to 2.0 that marked a key moment in The Oprah Winfrey Show, and set the table for the success that would follow.
