“The names you know, the stories of their legacies and lived experiences you don’t! This is a show that teaches me something new with each episode. Brandon Pope is an incredible host who deftly navigates listeners through conversations with some well-picked guests. Sign me up for more!”

“I loved listening on your recent podcast with Oprah Winfrey.Your authenticity puts people at ease right away, each and everyone’s personalities shining through Oprah always had a way of making people feel like they’re the most important person in the room and still does. Well done fantastic content!”

“This show shined in its first 3 seasons, with an entire season dedicated to a particular period of a celebrity’s life - Obama, Oprah, Beyoncé. This season with 1 episode for Serena Williams was much different in that it covered her entire life. It barely scratched the surface more than could be...”Read full review »

“An informative, fun and intelligent podcast about TV and the steaming services. It’s my weekly ‘go to’ which was sorely missed over Xmas. Pity we disagree about the ‘Ginge and Whinge’ train wreck interview with Oprah ........ looking forward to next weeks show. Helen”

“This is the podcast I didn’t know I needed. Oh my 80s baby/ 90s kid heart. Oprah absolutely did raise me and I’m so grateful. Thank you for bringing this all back.”

“I heard about the podcast and the Making Oprah episodes from an article I read. As a fan of Oprah I didn’t think there were things I could still learn about her. But, I did and discovered a beautifully made podcast! The episodes were wonderfully crafted, the story beautifully told. I even enjoyed...”Read full review »

“This is a really good podcast but it could’ve gone longer than 3 episodes. It left me wanting more and that’s not always a good thing. 5 stars for the content, 3 stars for the duration.”

“The series (or seasons) should be on separate podcasts with separate graphics so listeners can easily find.
This is an easy fix.
Also, episodes are a bit too long. Shorter episodes keep listeners engaged and coming back.
I don’t know why WBEZ decided to put Oprah, Obama & Beyoncé on the same...”Read full review »

“This is a good series and has interesting details that I’ve never seen or heard before. But why is it taking so long for the next episodes to come out? Did the show go on a break? It’s been almost 2 months since the last episode!”

“Making Oprah is one of the best podcast miniseries I’ve ever listened to. Making Obama was really good too. Making Beyoncé is incomplete. Odd that they posted it in its current form, ending with Destiny’s Child’s first hit. The story of Making Beyoncé has so much more to it after this moment......”Read full review »
