While speaking about the release of the podcast, the president of "OWN," Tina Perry expressed that the podcast was to help people connect to a show that addressed their personal struggles. She also stated that:

"The Oprah Winfrey Show The Podcast is the perfect opportunity to look back and reflect, take stock of how we've grown, and to be reminded that we're all in this together."

The podcast will feature segments from the early days of the show through to the last bow in May 2011; however, it will not be done in chronological order. The flagship batch will feature ten specially handpicked episodes that have resonated well with the people over the years.

The first ten episodes will feature some of the show's most-watched telecasts, such as those who had guests such as Dr. Phil, Dr. Oz, Suze Orman, among others.

Oprah has also done some other projects that have not really been successful.

Interestingly, this podcast is not the first attempt of the Oprah Winfrey Network, in August 2017, the network launched Oprah's Super Soul Conversations with audio from the "Super Soul Sunday" television series.

Oprah has also done some other projects that have not really been successful. Some of them include her dropped "Russell Simmons" documentary and "American Dirt" endorsement — that has raised many controversies.
