In a surprising turn of events, it seems that Harry and Meghan are not ready to give up on their podcasting dreams just yet.
Despite their previous failure with Spotify, a well-placed source has revealed that the couple is now eyeing a potentially bigger deal with Audible, the podcasting arm of Amazon.
It’s no secret that Meghan’s attempt at being a podcaster was met with disappointment.
The bosses at Spotify didn’t hold back in publicly criticizing her, leaving her podcasting career in shambles.
But according to the spin doctors working for Harry and Meghan, Audible is willing to offer them a more lucrative deal.
However, one can’t help but wonder if this move reeks of desperation on the part of the couple’s PR team.
A bigger deal than Spotify?
It seems hard to believe.
Can Harry and Meghan truly deliver the audience that Audible is looking for?
That remains to be seen.
Audible’s interest in Harry and Meghan stems from two main factors.
Firstly, they want to know who Meghan plans to interview.
It’s important for them to see a clear vision and ensure that her choices resonate with the audience.
While some of her previous guests, like Serena Williams and Mariah Carey, were notable names, others failed to make a lasting impact.
Secondly, if Audible does decide to proceed with a deal, Meghan will have to accept the condition of being an executive producer.
The length and number of episodes would be determined by Audible, not the couple themselves.
This arrangement ensures that the content aligns with Audible’s standards and objectives.
Contrary to the claims made by Harry and Meghan’s spin doctors, there won’t be a mega deal on the table.
Audible, like any other company, needs to consider its shareholders and financial viability.
They won’t simply throw money at the couple without a guarantee of success.
Before any deal is finalized, Harry and Meghan must prove their ability to attract and retain an audience.
The guests they secure for their podcast will play a crucial role in determining its popularity and profitability.
Without a solid track record, Audible won’t be willing to invest a substantial amount of money.
Even if a deal does materialize, it’s highly unlikely that it will reach the extravagant figures being thrown around.
In the world of TV and media, celebrities often come out on top, but after a flop, they become easy targets for those looking to sign them at reduced costs.
As always, I’m here to set the record straight.
This is Neil Sean, reporting from the heart of London, where Harry and Meghan’s podcasting saga continues to unfold.
Stay tuned for more updates on their quest for success in the world of audio content.
