Oprah Winfrey is saying farewell to her giant television audience all week, and few would argue that she will leave a big hole in programming, ratings, and in the lives of her faithful daily viewers. Of course, despite her apparent ubiquity, plenty of people pay no attention whatsoever to the mogul. So we wanted to get a sense from listeners of how or whether Oprah made a difference in their lives. We asked you: Has Oprah changed your life, and if so how? Rick Schober posted this comedic response on Facebook: Not a bit. “YOU get a car! YOU get a car! YOU get a car!” I didn’t get a car.
