A senior manager at music streaming giant Spotify has made no secret of his anger at Sussex residents who have little say in the development of their contracted podcasts.
End applause. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced the end of their partnership with Spotify days ago, three years after signing the lucrative deal. “By mutual agreement, they have decided to separate and are proud of the work they have done together,” we can read in the press release published on Thursday, June 15. Nothing too sultry so far. Except, as some in the American press have been whispering, this decision was made after the Sussexes’ partnership with the streaming fleet soured.
The newspaper variety claims Harry and Meghan just haven’t done enough podcasts. The pair presented just one episode called Archetypes, a Meghan Markle-led series of interviews with influential women about female stereotypes. For about three years, the couple has developed… only one plan. And to give birth, Spotify even had to assemble a team to help the couple. “That’s why it’s not enough to amortize the $20 million contract, says Radio France, in a more tense context, as Spotify announced in early June that 200 employees of its podcast division were going to be laid off.
Zoom in on Harry
Proof that the pill does not work. This Monday, June 19, from his own podcast channel, Spotify’s head of innovation and podcast monetization, Bill Simmons, called Harry and Meghan “scams.” “I would love to be involved in the negotiations for their departure,” he said at the microphone of his show. One night when I’m drunk, I’ll tell a Zoom story I did with Harry to help him generate podcast ideas, it’s one of my best jokes. (…)”The Fucking Grifters:” (meaning “Les putains d’crocs”), it’s rather the podcast we should have launched with them.

“Archetypes” in turmoil
In turn, Meghan and Harry begin dating. Always according to varietywhich quoted a close source as saying they “wanted to move away from Spotify’s exclusive distribution to find a new home for their audio projects”.
And as if that was not enough, a new controversy has started. Agreed Podnews: , podcast specialist media, interviews with Meghan Markle for his program “Archetypes” would not be conducted by him. Indeed, some of the show’s interviews would be conducted by members of the Duchess of Sussex’s staff, who would then introduce her voice into the edit. To confirm the information: New York Post Representatives for Meghan Markle, as well as her podcast brand Archewell Audio, have been reached for comment. Radio silence (or podcast?) at the moment!
