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

you somewhere else.

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?

Does what I say mean anything to you?

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

Since I was a little girl and read, I know why the Cagebird sings.

My Angelo was a mentor for me.

I never, in my wildest dreams, believed when I read that book almost 22 years ago that

my Angelo, who was a mentor at the time, would become a mother, sister friend to me.

She calls me her daughter friend.

And I love coming to this house because this is a house that's always filled with laughter.

The house loves people and holds them all very well.
