The first episode of Meghan Markle’s new podcast Confessions Of A Female Founder was released today.
The series is the latest in the Duchess of Sussex‘s flurry of output after her much-criticised Netflix lifestyle series With Love, Meghan and her new brand As Ever.
A trailer for the show was released on March 25, with the former Suits actress promising ‘girl talk’ and advice on how to create ‘billion-dollar businesses’.
Meghan told one guest to think of the experience as being in a ‘dolphin tank’ rather than a ‘shark tank’, asked another whether she is single now, talks about the ‘laser focus’ needed in business, and finished her voiceover with: ‘Let’s do this, ladies.’
The podcast will also follow the Duchess’s work on her As Ever brand which has now begun selling jam, herbal teas, flower sprinkles and ready-make crepe mix.
The new show is part of a deal signed in February last year with Lemonada Media, which follows her previous series Archetypes on Spotify in 2022.
That show about female stereotypes ran for just one series, and was part of the Sussexes’ previous £20million deal with Spotify, which ended the year after.
