Through 25 seasons, 4,561 episodes.

I believe the Oprah Winfrey Show was one of the greatest classrooms in the world.

I really never thought of it that way.

The aha moments, the breakthroughs, the LOLs, the connections, the occasional ugly cry.

I'm missing, so terribly, I'm missing every single minute.

The moments that mattered, the eye-opening, light lessons, never allow them to take

to some words.

I'm bringing them back.

It's time to open the vault.

I've personally chosen these classic episodes to share with you again.

Every single person you ever will meet shares that common desire.

They want to know, do you see me?

Do you hear me?

That's what I say, mean anything to you.

You are listening to the Oprah Winfrey Show, the podcast.

Behind the scenes of this show, we've been talking about this story for months.

All of us here at the Oprah Show know about it, feel stronger and wiser, more appreciative

of our own lives.

It is really a gripping, and it's unimaginable this story of survival, like we've never

heard before.

It's complicated to tell, and we're going to do our best to honor everybody involved.

I just want you to take this all in.
