Meghan Markle Ends Podcast, Refocuses on Business

Meghan Markle confirmed there will be no second season of her podcast 'Confessions of a Female Founder' as she shifts focus to her lifestyle brand, As Ever, and the upcoming season of her Netflix show. She described the podcast as a platform to share her entrepreneurial journey and candid conversations with other female founders, but said she must prioritize her business ventures at this time. The podcast initially ranked high, reaching second place on Apple Podcasts and the top 25 on Spotify, but quickly fell out of the top 100 on both platforms. Public reaction to Markle’s recent interview with Emma Grede was mixed, with some listeners finding the content unengaging and lacking authenticity. Rival shows by Joe Rogan, Tucker Carlson, and Candace Owens consistently outperformed Markle’s podcast in the charts. Markle’s decision is seen as part of her broader strategy to focus on her business interests amid ongoing public scrutiny.
