What is the worst part of Oprah's podcast?
One of the worst (slash best) parts of the podcast comes when Oprah shares a story about those days before she was one of the richest women on the planet, and couldn’t afford original art. Instead she would go to art galleries and buy postcards and frame them. She and Paltrow enjoy a good giggle over this tale of humble beginnings, also known as how most of us decorate out homes. Paltrow is well known for her tendency to make accidentally obnoxious proclamations. Apparently it’s contagious.
When did Oprah start talking about souls?
Today, conversations about meditation and mindfulness are the norm, but when Oprah first started talking souls and essences back in the early ’90s, even her devoted fans were like, whaaaaaaaa? She recalls how her audience “tuned out” during those early shows about finding your spirit, mostly because they had no idea what she was talking about. Per Oprah: “When you are pioneering anything or introducing new ideas to a culture, you get criticized,” she says, and of course Paltrow—proponent of conscious uncoupling and vaginal steaming—responds with a knowing chuckle. Later Paltrow talks about running into Oprah at a party at a time when she was getting beat up by the media ( and the medical community) for her unorthodox “health” advice. Oprah’s told Goop “stay the course” and ignore the haters, which is perfectly good advice if we weren’t also talking about ignoring scientific evidence.
What did O say at the Golden Globes?
That Golden Globes speech that we all went crazy over (and took as an unofficial announcement of political intentions)? O says it was never about running for office, but actually her attempt to put this moment of radical awakening into a larger context: “I wanted to be able to say to the #MeToo movement that I’m proud of where we are and what we’re doing, but you need to know that you didn’t get here alone.” She talks about people in the past who “didn’t speak because they couldn’t speak,” and about how everything from #TimesUp to the success of the Black Panther movie is the crystallization of something that has been coming for a long time.
