A sneak peek at this season of Oprahdemics
Hey all, producer Jody Avirgan here, a quick update as we prepare for the launch of Oprahdemics with two episodes this Wednesday. You, our loyal newsletter audience, are getting a preview of the topics Kellie and Leah have planned for this first season.
But first, if you haven’t heard the trailer or subscribed to the show, do that now. You can find us in Apple Podcasts, Spotify, PocketCasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. If you’re not seeing the show in your favorite podcast app, please let us know.
And spread the word. Post on social media, or forward this email to a friend. Word of mouth is so key in the first few weeks of a new show.
Now, for our first season, we’re planning 15 episodes looking at 15 iconic Oprah Winfrey Show moments. Some details are in the press release. But here’s some more:
On Wednesday, we’re releasing two episodes — one we are calling “Oprah 101” that lays out some of why we think Oprah matters. And then a look at the time Oprah and her staff went vegan for a week, which gets into health, diet, food politics and lots more. Plus, we get to have a Pulitzer Prize winner as our first guest!
From there, here’s the rough list of what we’re planning for the first season.
The LA Riots, Oprah and Toni Morrison, Opening a School in South Africa, Oprah and Tyler Perry, Oprah and Hip Hop, Oprah’s 50th Birthday Bash, Sarah Palin, James Frey, Oprah’s Half-Sister, Oprah & Trump, The Wagon of Fat, Oprah as Actress, Dr. Oz and Dr Phil….
In future seasons, we of course want to get to The Secret, Stedman, Beyonce… so much more. Let us know what you want us to cover, we’re leaving a few weeks open to gauge audience response.
Okay, enjoy your Super Soul Sunday, thanks so much for all your support, and we’ll see you with the first two episodes on Wednesday morning!
-Jody on behalf of Kellie, Leah, and Nina.
