Starbucks teams up with Oprah's Book Club and new podcast series
Each month from a Starbucks cafe, Oprah will host an author selected as part of her book club over a cup of coffee and customers can listen to the conversation on Oprah’s new podcast series.
Beginning on December 3, Starbucks and Oprah are coming together to launch Oprah’s Book Club: Presented by Starbucks, a podcast companion to Oprah’s Book Club. As part of “The Oprah Podcast” with talk show host, producer and philanthropist, Oprah Winfrey, a new episode of the podcast will air each month featuring an engaging conversation about the book selection between Oprah and special guests over coffee, inside of a Starbucks cafe. Oprah will also share a recommended Starbucks beverage pairing that customers can enjoy while discussing the book at their local Starbucks store.
Joined by Eckhart Tolle to discuss his groundbreaking work A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose, Oprah brings together a live audience at the Starbucks Reserve® Empire State Building® store for conversation over the new Starbucks Cortado, a small but robust coffee classic made with three Starbucks® Blonde Roast ristretto shots and velvety steamed milk. It’s the perfect little pick-me-up.
A New Earth has affected Oprah more than any other book by a living author, she says.
In this episode, Tolle shares his journey overcoming cancer and reveals simple yet transformative lessons on diminishing ego and becoming a more conscious human being. As the conversation builds, audience members, including actor Chris Evans, share their favorite teachings and quotes from the book.
Whether you’re new to Tolle’s work or have been inspired by his teachings before, A New Earth has wisdom for everyone.
Visit your neighborhood Starbucks café or order in the app to try the new Cortado, served exclusively in an 8 fl oz Short size. Readers can find A New Earth online or wherever books are sold.
A cup of Starbucks Christmas Blend – a rich and robust dark roast coffee that is the perfect coffee pairing to enjoy while reading this historical fiction set during the holiday season.
Customers can purchase Small Things Like These online or wherever books are sold.
All episodes of Oprah’s Book Club: Presented by Starbucks can be found on the Oprah’s Book Club playlist on The Oprah Channel YouTube page. Episodes are also available for listening on all major podcast platforms, including Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, Spotify, Pandora, Stitcher and more.
This latest venture between Oprah and Starbucks marks their third collaboration. The first was in 1997 when Oprah’s Book Club selections were made available in Starbucks stores with proceeds going to literacy funds, and then in 2014 Oprah paired with Starbucks to create the Teavana Oprah Chai Tea, which raised $21 million to support youth education organizations across the country.
