    More about you than others
    Masters are without ego ,they don’t need to be constantly validated or talk about themselves so much they just ARE. To a master you need no self promotion or strokes from other great minds to confirm your importance. Be real and not so insecure about what matters. Today so much talk and so little influence of change come from so called master minds. The world is falling fast and people need to grow up and not only care about their accomplishments,fame and MONEY.

    Missing Things
    Fantastic podcast however, whoever puts it together misses things. With Barbara Walters and Robin Roberts- they literally cut out what someone said to them and we only hear the reaction. Very cut and paste and sometimes it doesn’t make sense. Also, commercials are VERY loud. Fix these things and it’d be worth 5 stars

    No warning
    The podcast is Phenomenal however, when it goes to commercial there’s no warning and the commercial volume goes up and sends me 2 meters out of my car seat.Some of the podcast maybe the older ones over would introduce the commercial break and there would be no volume change or at least a warning that the commercial was coming I can’t say anything bad about the podcast I am OK with the adrenaline rush I get one that cotton Pickin commercial comes on.

    Great Podcast, turn down the commercial volume
    I love this podcast. I did not have an interest in most of the people on the podcast but I love their stories. My only grip is that the commercial about halfway through the podcast is so much louder than the interview itself. When using headphones it causes me to jump because there is such a difference in audio level. Other than that I would recommend this podcast to everyone.

    Help me please
    113/64 I fear for my life, as we speak there is a person up on my room I hear them. For 6 months now living in fear to the point that I am not afraid of death. Some humans are no able to feel therefore would not hesitate to hurt and take someone’s life. I live in highland on AltaVista a posh neighborhood that accommodates many politicians. I have to say it’s been the worse time of my life. This is the 6th month living in fear of dying I’m being hacked over and over. It’s exhausting and draining to have to constantly fight for survival. From causing an accident that almost took my life to daily having to worry about hackers and neighbors that spy on me with bad intentions. Alex Silva is an ex and almost family. He has a dark scary past. One in which he was abused and now he prowls to get his young vulnerable victims. He befriends neighbors in hopes of getting in their homes. That man Alex has hacked to all my phones 4 phones to keep me from reporting him of his actions. ive come to a point that I am ready to do everything in my power to come out with us in public. To bring to the light of everything that is going on. Cannot continue to ignore.  it’s unfortunate that many of the neighbors will also be in trouble. It’s almost unreal but thank goodness for technology and evidence see , pink journal links. This can all be proven.  Jarem Paul from Montebello Ca one of my best friends also has the videos. In the following videos you will be able to see and hear. I have been hacked and stalked for 6 months!! I have been threatened then I will die by drowning this is what the hacker has sent me. Makes me sick to my stomach that the person that I trusted the most is not my worst enemy and I fear for my life he is there now at the neighbors house like nothing is going on but behind the scenes you will know the truth. Please help me get to the bottom of this. For many women may have been going through the same situation and nobody listens this time I am and will be fighting for all of us it’s time to come out with the truth.  if you’re reading this, you can be the voice to pass this along until someone listens. What secrets are going on in here and how is it possible that people are involved. All I want is to be left alone my my own business and you mind yours but be left alone. Coming to find out that I rent from people that have done fraud in the healthcare system makes me sick to my stomach knowing everything that I represent I’m a patient advocate. Although it has nothing to do with my hacker, my hacker has befriended them and now sit in their home. To better control in spy on me.  please help me put an end to this horrible story. My name is Carolina Becerra I am an advocate for life. The highland police department has a record of my calls since September 2020 when the threats of kidnapping my daughter and myself were coming through. If I no longer live. It’s too late, still if you’re reading this there may be justice for those women that may be struggling with this.. please help I’m using my dead spouses phone in hopes that there is no way that the hacker is still in his phone too.  909688-3355

    Insightful, Makes you think and reflect
    Greatness, I have walked away from each Master Class knowing I invested my time wisely. Each host reflects on life experiences, good and bad. What a great resource this has become for me. Thank you for making the time and sharing the insights of true Masters!

    Denounce Phil McGraw
    Spiritual growing is destroyed be arrogance and self appointed “doctors” pumping up their ego while spewing messages for profits that literally will lead to physical and spiritual destruction of others. He is not an intelligent person is is an self centered hater that hides behind a smile. When you reach that place where you must choose compassion and giving or selfishness and self centeredness choose wisely as you move a step toward grace or a leap into disgrace. Mr. McGraw made his choose freely and now his path has been altered by his own making.

    Unbelievably Good.
    When I listen to a podcast I want to gain knowledge or insight that is often missing in my life. However with the rise of "internet gurus" who write a book or have a podcast on subjects they know nothing about it's become scarce to find true experts. Oprah takes out the work through this Master Class series and ensures that you're always listening to conversations with experts on their field. Highly recommended for anyone interested in expanding their knowledge and perspective.

    Bring Masterclass back to OWN
    I watched most of these on OWN. I come back to listen while I try to go to sleep because I can’t bear to listen to the current horrifying news after hearing it all day. These give me comfort. Do more!!!

    Time Capsule
    Listening to each of these episodes makes me so excited that these moments are recorded for the rest of time. The podcasts serve as time capsules for those fortunate enough to have been featured before their passing. Keep wondering if Kobe was on the list. What a joy that would have been for his family and for all who mourn his passing. You, Oprah, are a master.

    Get some Asians - we need to see ourselves in others too
    Has anyone else noticed there are ZERO Asians represented? I didn’t check on other backgrounds but I find this to be consistent with Oprah. I love her, she’s my church, but please Oprah, I’m desperate to hear of some Asians who’ve gone past cultural programming and societal barriers to be where they are. I need to see others who look like me doing unconventional things to believe that more is possible.

    Life-Changing
    The episode with Maya Angelou has been life changing for me. I have listened to it multiple times and shared it with friends and family. Oprah’s own personal story has also been especially inspiring to me and has helped me to look for God’s hand in my life and start to realize my own purpose and journey. I love the mantra of “Your Life is a Class” and am grateful that this podcast is helping me discover that!

    Oprah Winfrey with Billy Bob Thornton
    I listened to this and immediately forwarded it to my adult daughters, my husband, and other people I love. I wanted them to experience it and be brightened and calmed by it as I was. In my opinion, another masterpiece with Billy Bob Thornton involved. Insightful, from the heart and endearing.
  • gina_0509
    Puts me to sleep
    When you don’t hear the interviewer and just the guest talking it sounds like a person reading from a book. Oprah, learn from “How I built this” podcast. That’s how it should be done.
  • pachamamá
    Not trustworthy
    Why is Oprah promoting poison as pharmaceutical drugs? Until this stops, I don’t trust a word she says. Seriously compromised integrity here. Listen to The Vaccine Conversation.
  • -d---
    surely you should be able to find masters outside of hollywood
    Almost all of these people are actors and singers. Can’t we find more inspiring masters? Perhaps you could talk with thinkers, authors, astronauts, doctors, business people? Add more diversity to your line up Becoming a famous actor is a very specific type of master. And there are a lot more noble pursuits

    Dearest Oprah
    When I heard you were not allowed in the house and had to sleep out on the porch, I could not help but to cry. I too grew up as an unwanted child and I know exactly how you must have felt. It is unthinkably painful. You though say that you made an amend with your mother by having your own unwanted non connected child, I believe the pain was real and affected your life tremendously. I chose not to have children because I was afraid I will be like my mom and create another human being who would have to go through the same terrible pain I had to go through. I don’t regret it til this day for the choice I made. I have long ago forgiven my mother but I have not forgotten what she has done to me physically, mentally and emotionally. It took me a long time to rediscover my true self. There was not enough time or energy to raise a child when I myself was not even truly born yet. Now I am a fully grown up woman but too late for having children and help other people’s children and doing my best to bring the beauty to the world as an artist. I thank you for your opening up to larger public. I now feel stronger. That is what teachers do to make student more confident and assured. You are a true teacher.

    Dear Oprah,
    People can be broken down into two categories. Rah rah Oprah people or rah rah Ellen people. I’ll take you every single time Oprah. After being attacked at 96’s Lilith Fair by a group of women who despised men I’ve never been the same. It was very scary 🕯...say hi to Stedman form me and if you’re ever looking for a younger replacement I’d be happy to oblige. Always wanted to be a kept man. Lastly, you get sexier the older you get ☝️👋 🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯 -Les Couchon- 💄🐷🍒👠

    The simplicity of these episodes is so lovely. At first I thought it was strange that they didn’t follow a normal Q

    Dont buy it
    Very hard to hear her say that ‘nobody wants to go to war’. There were nothing but war hawks in her era in Washington DC.
  • Jeffrey Lee Wells
    Dr Rice
    She is so incredibly impressive and a broad thinking and caring American.
  • momof4tryingtoyellless
    Meaningful and powerful
    I love the life stories shared by so many different people. It’s like listening to your grandma, or someone special, sharing for encouragement. I enjoy these and hope for more!
