  • Meghan Markle's podcast "Archetypes" was not renewed for a second season after the Sussexes failed to deliver much content over three years.
  • Spotify and the Sussexes' production company Archewell Audio mutually agreed to terminate their multiyear deal worth around $20 million.
  • Bill Simmons, head of Spotify's global sports content, called the couple "f---ing grifters" and criticized Prince Harry's talent on his own podcast.
