The Oprah Podcast · Why 'Theo of Golden' Has Touched Millions of Readers with Allen Levi and Oprah · 21 Jul 2026 podcast

I didn't want to travel again as a musician.

I was kind of tired of that.

And I just happened to walk into a coffee shop with which I was very familiar.

And there were portraits on the wall, 92 portraits, all done by a dear friend of mine, Gary Pound.

And I was looking at the portraits and I thought, wouldn't it be fun to buy all of these one at a time and give them to the people portrayed in the frames?

So I bought four of them.

I took them home and began to kind of ruminate on the faces.

What is the story that that face tells?

And so I wrote some scenes where I was giving the portrait to someone.

And then... So you're Theo?

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Okay.

Let me disabuse you of that quickly.

Theo is who I would like to be.

Okay.

But I could tell there's a story here.

I did not.

Yeah.

And I still don't know who they are, except for one, the Ellen character in the book.
