Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, will produce and host podcasts for Spotify Technology SA, adding to the Swedish streaming giant’s burgeoning podcast empire. The royal couple’s Archewell organization has signed a multiyear agreement with the company, with the first series coming next year. First they signed a deal to produce films and TV shows for Netflix Inc., and now a deal to produce podcasts for Spotify. The royal family is a subject of great interest across the world, including in places where podcasting is still nascent. “That they are embracing the extraordinary capacity of podcasts on Spotify while also seeking to elevate underrepresented voices is a testament to their appreciation for the potential of audio storytelling.”
