Meghan shared the news on Instagram, expressing her enthusiasm for the project and the insightful conversations she has had with women who have successfully built their businesses from the ground up.
Markle revealed that the podcast will feature candid discussions with female entrepreneurs who have transformed small ideas into thriving enterprises.
She emphasized that these women will not only share their success stories but also their challenges, lessons, and strategies.
“It has been absolutely eye-opening, inspiring … and fun! (Because what’s the point if we can’t have some fun on this wild adventure?),” she wrote.
When does Meghan Markle’s new podcast premiere?
The first episode is scheduled for release on April 8.
Her new deal with Lemonada Media follows the end of her previous partnership with Spotify.
Despite a lucrative $20 million agreement, Spotify chose not to renew “Archetypes” for a second season.
Now, Lemonada Media will handle the distribution of “Archetypes” across various platforms, making it more accessible to listeners.
The original podcast, which debuted in August 2022, explored stereotypes that impact women and featured high-profile guests such as Serena Williams, Mariah Carey, and Mindy Kaling.
However, Markle’s previous podcast faced scrutiny.
Reports surfaced claiming that some interviews were conducted by her staff rather than Markle herself, with her voice edited in later to pose the questions.
Additionally, allegations of a difficult work environment emerged, with former Spotify colleagues describing their experiences as challenging and unpleasant.
Meghan Markle’s new projects
Beyond her podcast, Markle has also stepped into the lifestyle space with the launch of her brand, As Ever.
Originally called American Riviera Orchard, the company had to undergo a name change due to trademark issues.
The brand offers a range of products, including her signature raspberry jam.
Meanwhile, she recently debuted her Netflix series, “With Love, Meghan,” an eight-part show focusing on her love for cooking and gardening.
Despite its personal and intimate approach, the series has received mixed reviews and has not achieved the same level of viewership as her previous documentary, “Harry & Meghan.”
With her return to podcasting and a growing business empire, Meghan continues to carve out her own path in the media and entrepreneurial world.
