As the first episode of Archetypes went on to take the first position, many critics believed that Meghan Markle’s podcast is not appealing as compared to Joe Rogan’s podcast. “Rogan is billions and billions of views ahead of her”. As Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are reportedly going through a tough time with the Royal Family, The Duchess of Sussex claims the podcast as “my podcast about the labels and tropes that try to hold women back”.

Following the success of the first episode, the new promo released by Spotify shows The Duchess of Sussex saying she hopes listeners to get to know a whole new side of her. In the promo, she is seen saying, 

“People should expect the real me in this and probably the me that they’ve never gotten to know certainly not in the past few years. Everything is through the lens of the media as opposed to ‘hey it’s me’ i’m just excited to be myself and talk and be unfiltered. Yeah it’s fun”

Meghan Markle’s podcast, Archetypes is streaming on Spotify and the next episode will feature American singer Mariah Carey. All episodes of Joe Rogan’s podcast, The Rogan Experience can also be streamed on Spotify.
