Send us Fan Mail
Thank you for tuning in to this week's episode of the Pop Culture Retrospective Podcast! On today's show you will learn about the backstory behind Oprah Winfrey, one of the most successful media moguls of all time. You'll hear about her early days, surviving a traumatic childhood and how she became the woman and leader that we know and love her for. You'll also hear a bit about her show and what she has been up to since the Oprah Winfrey show came to an end in 2011, leaving us with a void that will never be matched!
On the show I mentioned an episode of the 'Fresh Prince of Bel-Air' where Carlton does a hilarious dance to the Oprah theme song, check it out here:

About Pop Culture Retrospective
From the publisher's feed
Join me as we board a time machine and travel back to the retro pop culture of the 1980s, 1990s and early 2000s! On each episode, I take a deep dive into the backstory behind topics such as music,…
tv shows, movies, technology, regrettable fashions, and events from this unique period of time. This show is inspired by and dedicated to the memory of my older sister, Rebecca who I lost tragically in 2019. I want to learn the back story, the story behind the story, the hidden secrets, and fun facts of all of the things that she was into. This show is my love letter to my big sister. Anyone who is interested in learning more about the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s will want to tune in! Follow me on social media!
