Meghan signs new deal with Lemonada Media for podcast distribution
Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex, has signed a new agreement with podcast network Lemonada Media to distribute the first season of her podcast, Archetypes, along with new episodes.
Lemonada announced the news, stating: "Dive into the world of 'Archetypes' with Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex. Explore the labels that try to hold women back. Now available from Lemonada on all platforms for the first time."
The announcement was made via Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's relaunched website, Sussex.com, featuring a stunning new portrait of the Duchess taken by friend and photographer, Misan Harriman.
In a statement, the Duchess expressed her pride in joining Lemonada, stating: "I'm proud to now be able to share that I am joining the brilliant team at Lemonada to continue my love of podcasting."
She highlighted the significance of supporting a female-founded company that features thought-provoking and entertaining podcasts, calling it a fantastic way to kick off 2024. "Our plan to re-release Archetypes so that more people can now have access to it, as well as launching a dynamic new podcast are well in the works," she added, expressing her eagerness to share more soon.
Prince Harry and Meghan launched Archewell Audio at the end of 2020, aiming to showcase diverse voices and perspectives. Their inaugural episode of Archetypes featured their then 19-month-old son, Archie, during a holiday special.
Harry encouraged Archie to speak into the microphone, asking, "You can speak into it," while Meghan inquired, "Archie, is it fun?" The little one responded with a heartwarming "Fun."
The original podcast series featured 12 episodes, including conversations with various celebrities such as Serena Williams, Mariah Carey, Paris Hilton, and Constance Wu. Archetypes also won the top podcast award at the People's Choice Awards in 2022.
