Overview

• Meghan Markle's podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder, has fallen out of Spotify's Top 100 in both the US and UK and failed to enter Apple's Top 200 charts.
• The podcast, focused on entrepreneurial stories, debuted in early April but has been outpaced by niche shows like Sleep Cove, which ranks higher on Spotify UK charts.
• Attempts to secure high-profile guests, including Beyoncé and Taylor Swift, have reportedly gone unanswered, highlighting challenges in attracting marquee names.
• The series follows Markle's Archetypes podcast, which underperformed and led to the non-renewal of her $20 million Spotify deal in 2023.
• Industry analysts point to the crowded podcast market and shifting listener preferences toward community-driven content as factors in the show's lackluster performance.
