Meghan Markle Just Announced A Spotify Podcast, & It Sounds Empowering
Check out the audio teaser.
Meghan Markle’s first Spotify podcast is coming sooner than you think. On March 24, the streaming platform announced the Duchess of Sussex is launching a new series titled Archetypes that will challenge common stereotypes about women.
Of course, the name of Meghan’s upcoming podcast is a reference to the theme of the show. According to a press release, Archetypes will specifically interrogate the labels and typecasts infringing upon women.
The title is a clever nod to Meghan and Prince Harry’s production company, Archewell Audio, which signed an exclusive multi-year deal with Spotify in December of 2020. Until now, Archewell Audio has released only one show: a holiday special hosted by Meghan and Harry, which included a cameo from their son Archie. The show was meant to inspire listeners amid the challenges of the pandemic.
In January, the couple issued a statement on Instagram denouncing Spotify’s handling of COVID-19 misinformation; however, a spokesperson for Archewell Audio confirmed to People on March 17 that Meghan would continue to debut a new podcast on the platform.
Now, Spotify has shared more details about her upcoming Archetypes series. Learn all about the inspiring new podcast below.
