They are doing TV. What do you need for TV? Microphones. They aren't using handheld mics. They are using lavalier mics, and maybe some boom mics offscreen. You also don't see wires, which means the mics are wireless. Men can store wireless transmitters in a suit jacket or on a belt or wherever. Women's clothing tends to give less options, but using something like this on the ankle can be a good option https://ursastraps.com/product/ankle-strap/
I don't exactly trust Oprah, but I do know some things about running sound. The above is the simplest option. Heck, even if Oprah was arrested and had to wear a criminal ankle bracelet she'd still probably also need to wear something like this for her mic setup.
I'm not sure I buy this explanation only because she was sitting in a chair. There are dozens of better places to conceal that battery pack than uncomfortably jammed in her boot.
Hmm, that's a good thought. I looks weird though, you have to admit. Why would they shove a batter pack down her boot? Put it on the table in a purse or some shit.

I wondered that, but her boot? How would it even pick up sound? There has to be better places.
LOL, the mic isn't in the boot, it's clipped to the inside of her shirt. The thing in the boot would be the battery pack.

It's her super secret half eaten stash of herseys chocolate bar
Usually the battery pack is clipped to the back waistband. It also could be her cell phone

It would still make more sense to have it hidden from camera.
It is hidden from camera, mostly - except when Orpah flaps her legs around.
Yup.
