Meghan Markle's new podcast dethrones 'The Joe Rogan Experience'
The Duchess of Sussex's podcast debuted at number one on Spotify.
Meghan Markle's new podcast, 'Archetypes', is making waves around the world.
The podcast, which premiered on Spotify this week, went to the top of the podcast charts in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the UK.
It also claimed the number one spot in the US - where it dethroned the popular podcast, 'The Joe Rogan Experience'.
Meghan's first guest was her close friend, tennis champ Serena Williams.
The pair talked about the double standards that women face during the 'Misconceptions about Ambition' episode. The Duchess of Sussex says she hopes people will get to know her better.
"People should expect the real me in this and probably the me they have never gotten to know. I’m just excited to be myself and talk and be unfiltered," she said in a teaser video.
According to Spotify, Meghan will investigate "the labels that try to hold women back. Meghan will speak with historians and experts to uncover the origin of these stereotypes and have uncensored conversations with women who know all too well how these typecasts shape our narratives".
Serena was thrilled to be Meghan's first guest on the podcast along with Dr. Laura Kray.
"I loved talking about so many important topics with my dear friend Meghan as her first guest on #archetypes for @spotify! It’s out now and worth the listen, especially if you’re ambitious," she captioned a picture with Meghan.
Her daughter Olympia was also in the shot.

Meghan also talked about her trip to South Africa in 2019. The 41-year-old revealed that her son Archie's room caught fire during the visit. He was not in the room at the time but everyone was understandably shaken.
Meghan says she had to continue with her engagements after being told the news.
