Meghan Markle Announces New Podcast Amid Criticism of Originality
The Duchess of Sussex's 'Confessions of a Female Founder' will feature candid discussions with female entrepreneurs and insights into her own business journey, but faces accusations of copying existing concepts.
- Meghan Markle's new podcast, 'Confessions of a Female Founder,' is set to premiere on April 8, featuring eight weekly episodes produced by Lemonada Media.
- The podcast will include conversations with female founders sharing their business successes and struggles, alongside insights into Markle's own entrepreneurial efforts with her lifestyle brand, As Ever.
- Critics have pointed out similarities between the podcast's title and format and other existing shows, raising questions about its originality.
- This marks Markle's return to podcasting after her previous show, 'Archetypes,' ended following a short-lived $20 million deal with Spotify.
- The announcement comes shortly after the release of Markle's Netflix series 'With Love, Meghan,' which received mixed reviews but has been renewed for a second season.
