Meghan Markle is officially a podcast host! The Duchess of Sussex's first podcast series is underway, and a newly released teaser promises to tackle women's issues head-on.

Archetypes, the first series from her and Prince Harry's production company Archewell Audio, will focus on gender-based stereotypes and their origins, aiming to "dissect, explore, and subvert labels that seek to constrain women." The cleverness of its naming. [The one-minute audio teaser packs a punch, opening with a series of sexist remarks ("Is there a word for 'dirty' in America?"; "I was waiting for you to smile at the compliment, and you didn't."). These are comments the women regularly receive, but the Duchess digs further to reveal their sinister history. She asks, "How do we define our lives? And how do we define our lives?

The Duchess is no stranger to this kind of scrutiny. Public attacks against her often target her race or gender, and she does not shy away from difficult topics. With the help of historians, experts, and other special guests on a variety of subjects, Dame Meghan discusses a number of hot topics in each episode.

For fans of the Sussex family, this news is a blessing. The launch of the podcast comes more than a year after Archerwell Audio announced a multimillion-dollar exclusive deal with Spotify, and the "radio silence" had fans wondering if the podcast would actually make an appearance. Then, earlier this year, the prospect of a new series was again threatened when Meghan and Harry were urged by fans to reconsider the deal following claims of COVID-19 misinformation on the platform. The Duke and Duchess responded by urging Spotify to address the misinformation issue, but ultimately opted to keep the contract.

An official release date for Archetypes has not yet been announced.
