You Get A Podcast! - Oprah Confronts Racism In Forsyth, GA w/ Carol Anderson

**Help support the show as we get back to making new episodes. You can donate right on our website YouGetAPodcast.com**

This episode, we revisit perhaps our most-requested episode, and a touchstone moment in the OWS history. In 1987, Oprah took her show to the town of Forsyth, Georgia — an area where all the Black residents had been driven out some 75 years before. In 1987 there were protests and violence about the town’s racist past, and Oprah held an explosive town hall with the residents of Forsyth.

We’re joined for this episode by Carol Anderson, the Charles Howard Candler Professor of African American Studies at Emory University and author of White Rage: The Unspoken Truth of Our Racial Divide, a New York Times Bestseller, Washington Post Notable Book of 2016, and a National Book Critics Circle Award winner.

You Get A Podcast is hosted and executive produced by Kellie Carter Jackson, with co-host Leah Wright Rigueur.

You Get A Podcast! - Oprah Evolves Past Phil, Jerry, Sally, Geraldo And More

We’re back for our second season! We’re bringing you two months of new episodes on some of the most iconic Oprah moments.

This episode, we discuss the talk show scene in the late 80s and early 90s, and how Oprah sought to transform herself and evolve past the “trash TV” scene of Jerry Springer, Geraldo Rivera, and more. It’s the evolution from Oprah 1.0 to 2.0 that marked a key moment in The Oprah Winfrey Show, and set the table for the success that would follow.
