The Archetypes podcast, which was expected to feature new episodes this year, has also been delayed. This comes after Meghan's previous deal with Spotify ended in 2023, following the release of a single series. Despite its initial success, the podcast faced challenges, including behind-the-scenes disagreements and failed attempts to secure high-profile guests. Meghan's new partnership with Lemonada Media was expected to revive the podcast, but the delay has left fans eagerly waiting for its return.
