Oprah Winfrey interviewed Barack Obama
Earlier this week, Barack Obama sat down with Oprah Winfrey—virtually—as a guest on her Apple TV+ show, The Oprah Conversation. The 44th President of the United States discussed the release of his new memoir, A Promised Land, the transformative years and accomplishments leading up to his presidency, and the expectations placed upon him and his family while in office. “This book was worth the wait,” said Winfrey. “Everybody who reads it is going to be on this journey from the gruelling and monotonous grind of the campaign, to taking us inside the Oval Office and the Cabinet Room and the Situation Room and sometimes, even the bedroom. This book has both the intimacy and the grandeur coming through in this memoir, and I have so been looking forward to speaking with him about all of it.” The episode will be available to watch for free on Apple TV+ through Tuesday, December 1.
