Meghan Markle Podcast Debuts April 8 – What Is Markles New Podcast About?
Meghan Markle is back in the podcasting world with a new podcast,, Confessions of a Female Founder, in collaboration with Lemonada Media. This podcast will focus on candid conversations with female entrepreneurs who have built thriving businesses from the ground up.
Markle shared her excitement on Instagram, writing, “I’ve been having candid conversations with amazing women who have turned dreams into reality, and scaled small idea into massively successful businesses. They’re opening up, sharing their tips, tricks (and tumbles), and letting me pick their brains as I build out my own business, As Ever. 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?)”
This marks a new chapter for Markle, not just as a podcast host but also as an entrepreneur stepping into business with her brand, As Ever. It seems that Meghan has been trying to get back to her roots in the lifestyle space as of late with her Netflix show and these new ventures. Before Prince Harry Meghan wrote for her lifestyle blog The Tig.
Why Did Meghan Markle’s Spotify Podcast Get Canceled?
Before Confessions of a Female Founder, Markle hosted Archetypes, a podcast produced under a lucrative deal with Spotify. The show explored stereotypes faced by women and won a People’s Choice Award. Despite its success, Archetypes ended after one season when Markle and Prince Harry’s partnership with Spotify concluded early.
Reports suggested that creative differences and unmet content expectations led to the deal’s termination. Bill Simmons, a senior Spotify executive, referred to the couple as “grifters” after the deal dissolved, implying that the company expected more output. The Sussexes, however, remained focused on producing meaningful content, even if that meant stepping away from certain corporate partnerships.
What Is Meghan Markle’s As Ever Brand?
Confessions of a Female Founder aligns with Markle’s business ambitions. She recently trademarked As Ever, sparking speculation about its focus.
Early reports suggest As Ever will include lifestyle and wellness products. The brand may feature fashion, home goods, and self-care items. Markle’s Instagram post confirms she is actively building this business, making the podcast a natural extension. By speaking with successful female founders, she is both sharing valuable insights and learning from their experiences.
Who Owns Lemonada Media?
Lemonada Media, an independent podcast network, was co-founded in 2019 by Jessica Cordova Kramer and Stephanie Wittels Wachs. The company secured $8 million in Series A funding in 2022, led by BDMI, a Bertelsmann subsidiary. While the co-founders lead as CEO and Chief Creative Officer, BDMI and other investors hold stakes in the company.
Partnering with Lemonada Media signals a promising new start for Markle. Unlike Spotify, Lemonada specializes in high-quality niche content that resonates deeply with listeners.
Confessions of a Female Founder is expected to feel more intimate and grounded. Markle, balancing business, media, and philanthropy, is taking control of her narrative. Fans and critics alike will watch to see how this new endeavor unfolds and whether Markle’s business journey will become a case study for her listeners.
With this new project, Meghan Markle is shaping her media career and entrepreneurial future. Whether Confessions of a Female Founder redefines her path remains to be seen, but she is far from done making an impact. The show will premiere on April 8th, 2025.
