Spotify seems happy with it. :shrug:

I mean each episode barely breaks the top 30 and drops to 90-100 within 2-3 days. Spotify’s biggest production is a huge flop. What else can Spotify’s execs who made this bad deal say? Have they announced they are renewing it? Nope!

And yet. the fact that there are such dedicated fans like yourself who are constantly monitoring its performance is already a testament to how many eyes and ears the podcast has managed to capture.

It's unequivocally a success.

Success in Spotify is measure by how many people listen to you. Meghan has a small audience despite a large promotion campaign and production budget. Her inability to attract, retain or grow a listener base has nothing to do with me, it has nothing to do with the racist RF, it’s just hard data and a reflection of the product.

??? It's #3 in its category in the UK, #4 in the US. Seems successful to me. And Spotify has been vocal about its success, too.

Overall it is well behind Dax Shepherd. Dax Shepherd for god’s sake, a delightful man whose podcast I have never heard advertised.

Do you even listen to podcasts? His is advertised quite frequently on other podcasts.

Moments like these are how you know these people have a singular obsession with Meghan. Dad Shepard’s podcast is one of the most visible podcasts out there, with tons of cross-promotion and marketing.

Exactly.

OK but, of course Spotify is going to promote their own podcasts.

Meghan’s latest podcast was at 77. Guess it’s time for her to take another dig at the BRF!

I’ve listened to every episode and never heard a dig at the royal family.

Girl then you never listened!!! She digs in everywhere, she’s obsessssssed

Um no…. I have.

The whole premise of the podcast is a dig. The RF never allowed her to be her real self. Now we get to see the Meghan we were never allowed to see in the past few years.

Dax Shepard has a successful podcast that he and his partner built and grew organically. Dax Shepard does not have billboards, magazine covers, paid promo in major publications and channels. People who don’t listen to podcast (that’s the majority of the world) have no clue who Dax Shepard is. Meghan on the other hand is the most saturated public figure out there. By choice.

Yeah yeah exhibit A. This numbskull has given dozens of interviews, published books, filmed a reality tv series of her life, has a podcast series in the biggest platform, has a production deal with the largest streaming service in the world, has an army of PR people spamming the publishing world and she is STILL talking about someone trying to bury her. Insufferable!

Spotify marketed the shit out of Megan’s podcast so of course someone is going to say it was a success. Honestly I listened to a brief part of one and instead of hearing Venus talk I heard way, way too much of megan talking about herself. That’s some hubris… assuming we care more about the host than the truly amazing once in a generation athlete that the podcast supppsedly featured.

That woman is the Head of Content for Spotify. Basically the person in charge of sinking hundreds of millions in deals with celebrities like Meghan. Now if you ask Spotify’s CFO, he might have a different answer. A company with 190 million paid subscribers that is still not turning a profit and whose stock has lost 60% of its value this year.

This is really just absurd. Dax and Kristin Bell are prolific oversharers. They are regularly featured in major publications and Dax and Kristin have both regularly been on billboards and on the screen. What is your definition of paid promo because they literally have commercialized their family for actual commercials. It is the same thing. Possibly more embarrassing with them telling the world that their daughter was in pull-ups into elementary school. If you don’t like that in general then that’s fine but the obsession that you have with showing that the Sussexes are somehow uniquely horrible amongst celebs or even Harry’s own family is just bizarre.

DP. So basically her success is fake because of her podcast ranking or other random reason AND she’s too successful to complain about someone trying to bury her?

Dude, I just showed up here. I don't know if they are horrible. I don't know them. I just think it is funny that this globally known person is less of a draw than that guy from - I don't even know what he's from - that guy married to Kristin Bell and barely more of a draw that white noise. That's pretty funny. I imagine the meeting at Spotify going like this "The bad news is that you are less successful than Veronica Mars' husband BUT more popular than gentle rain." 😂

I thought it was "At Home with Duke and Duchess of Sussex?" I may be wrong.

I believe it was a fallback after it became obvious to Netflix that it's impossible to get anything with actual substance from these two.

I see the growth of our boy indeed.

Funny how they want nothing to do with the family, but cling to the titles for dear life.

What is evidence of your second claim? Their titles are their titles… of course you can take issue with the system as a whole, but it is what it is. Prince Harry especially… those titles are literally a part of his blood.

The first claim is easily debunkable (they seem to have done quite a fair amount to say that they *want* to fix their relationship with the BRF… but I have a hunch that you don’t want to hear that.

Fix their relationship by trashing their family every time they open their mouths? LOL.

They've monetized the family dysfunction, which is crass and gross. Their number one priority in life is being rich. Why do people put them on a pedestal? It's baffling.

How have they monetized it? They were not paid for their Oprah interview.

You're joking, right? Meghan drops all sorts of digs at the RF on her ridiculous podcast, and obviously Harry's memoir is the paradigmatic example of him trying to cash in on the family dysfunction.

Right. Because they have no particular talents, this is their only source of revenue. They are expected to produce dirt in exchange and have obliged, but the majority of criticisms come across as very petty. I personally am anti-monarchy but I don't admire these two pampered and entitled creatures one bit.

I also love Will and Kate. I can't wait to see the pics of them in Boston. Honestly, I wish they'd all (Will and Harry + wives) reunite and make a dynamic, interesting royal news cycle for the next 15 years. They're so shortsighted.

The Prince and Princess of Wales will be in Boston at the John F. Kennedy Library with John Schlossberg, Caroline Kennedy's son, to award Prince Williams' Earthshot Prize to people working in environmental concerns.

Harry and Meghan Windsor-Mountbatten will be in New York to receive an award from Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights for uncovering systemic racism in the British Royal Family. The head of the center is the problem-plagued Kerry Kennedy, ex-wife of the problem-plagued Andrew Cuomo. The emcee for the event will be the problem-plagued Alec Baldwin.

One son will be awarding a prize for actual achievements; another son will be receiving a prize for gossip.

The "antics" of the British press have been quite well revealed throughout all season of The Crown, particularly the current season If you want to understand the British press, watch Jo Elvin's "Palace Confidential" or Lacy Colin Campbell's You Tube Channel. Your rose colored glasses may pop off when you realize the antics are not from the press but from Me-gain and The Spare.

Apparently the podcast is tanking. H&M need a win here.

It ranked #77 last week. It was behind a two hour podcast of lullabies.
