The Oprah Podcast

Oprah talks with the international bestselling author of Good to Great, Jim Collins, to discuss his groundbreaking new book What to Make of a Life. Drawing on ten years of research, Collins offers a data-driven answer to one of life’s most enduring questions: What do we do with this one precious life we’ve been given and how do you know what you’re truly meant to do? Collins explores how to navigate life’s “cliffs”—periods of great transition that leave us disoriented and how to find direction in the midst of mental fog. Oprah shares her own journey through 'the fog' and how she found her way out. Collins also offers practical guidance for anyone confronting a major career transition. This is a conversation for anyone, at any stage of life, seeking greater clarity, direction and meaning.

How to Navigate Life’s Big Transitions with Oprah and Bestselling Author Jim Collins

It’s the new memoir that has captured the attention of women and as Oprah describes, “everyone is talking about it." From the outside, Belle Burden seemed to have the perfect life: three thriving kids, a happy marriage and a summer home on the island of Martha’s Vineyard. Then, one day, she gets a phone call that shatters everything she believed to be true about her marriage and her life. Oprah sits down with Belle to talk about the devastation that followed the shocking end of her marriage and how she slowly rebuilt her life into something better than she could have imagined. Drawing on revelations shared in her New York Times bestseller, Strangers: A Memoir of a Marriage, Belle tells Oprah how her prestigious family pedigree couldn’t protect her from the pain of divorce. She also explains how sharing her story has empowered her to become the person she was meant to be.

Oprah with Belle Burden on the Collapse of Her 20 Year Marriage & Her Bestselling Memoir

Artificial Intelligence is already woven into our daily lives, but do we really know the consequences? Will it transform our lives for the better or will its unchecked power cause us harm? Who is controlling it? Oprah, experts and an audience explore what’s been being called a tectonic shift in human society. Oprah speaks with Academy Award–winning filmmaker Daniel Roher about his new documentary The A.I. Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist, in theaters on March 27th. The film is a powerful look at this rapidly advancing technology and the many ways it will impact society. Oprah is joined by Tristan Harris and Aza Raskin of the Center for Humane Technology, who break down what AI really is, who’s building it and why some experts are sounding the alarm. Futurist Sinead Bovell offers insight into how AI could reshape everything from work to global power dynamics. We also hear from people whose lives have already been transformed by AI from finding emotional connection through chatbots, to business profitability, to confronting the impact of deepfake images and when using chatbots as therapy can have fatal consequences. It’s a candid, thought-provoking conversation about the extraordinary possibilities of AI and the potential dangers. The experts offer practical ways we can prepare and how to hold the companies deploying the technology accountable.

Oprah & Tech Leaders on What AI Means for Your Job, Health, Family & Future

In a worldwide exclusive interview, Oprah talks with Kristin Cabot, the woman caught on the Coldplay "kiss cam" in the arms of her boss and CEO of her company. The video became a phenomenon, instantly going viral around the globe with more than 300 billion views. While it became the most watched video of 2025, it also changed the course of Kristin Cabot’s life. In what she says will be her one and only on camera interview about the event, Kristin Cabot joins Oprah in front of an audience in New York City to reveal details about her life and relationships in the days leading up to the concert in Boston, and how her life was impacted afterwards. She tells Oprah her reaction to the 15 seconds that turned into an infinite number of memes and opened an unstoppable floodgate of what Kristin says is never-ending judgment, mocking, vitriol and even death threats. Kristin Cabot, who was the Chief People Officer for Astronomer at the time of the concert, tells Oprah the nature of her relationship with her then boss, former Astronomer CEO Andy Byron. Kristin Cabot says, “There is a different version of me than what people saw on a TikTok video.” Oprah and Kristin also hear from audience members about their reaction to the viral video and how they were quick to judge.

Oprah and Kristin Cabot in an Exclusive Interview about the Coldplay Kiss Cam

What is the true meaning of your life? Does your life have purpose? Are you living a life you love? These are questions many people quietly wrestle with in a time when more individuals report feeling lonely, anxious and uncertain about their place in the world. Oprah is back with the Harvard Happiness professor and #1 New York Times bestselling author Arthur C. Brooks. They explore his latest book The Meaning of Your Life: Finding Purpose in an Age of Emptiness. Arthur explains why so many people today feel stuck in what he calls an “age of emptiness,” and reveals the modern traps that can make life feel like a simulation of endless distraction, doom scrolling and procrastination. These leave people disconnected from their deeper purpose. Oprah and Arthur take questions from listeners including a college freshman caught in what Arthur Brooks calls “the doom loop" struggling to break free from constant scrolling while searching for a sense of direction. The episode also checks in with several of Arthur Brooks’ former students who share how they found meaning through serving others, pursuing achievement with intention and redefining success beyond personal gain.

Millions of parents and educators are in an overwhelming struggle to get children and teens to put their smartphones down or stop watching a screen on a tablet.
