The outgoing ‘head of audio’ from Meghan and Prince Harry’s company ranted on TikTok that she created the Duchess of Sussex’s award-winning podcast.
Archetypes executive producer Rebecca Sananes launched her complaint after the Hollywood Reporter published its list of the “Forty Most Powerful People in Podcasting” and did not include her.
Ms. Sananes attributed the success of podcasts, including Archetypes, to “underappreciated, reputable, overpaid” producers.
Meghan, who launched the podcast as part of an £18 million deal with US audio giant Spotify, said hosting the show made her feel like a different woman.

Ms. Sananes attributed the success of podcasts, including archetypes, to “underappreciated, reputable and underpaid” producers.
In a tirade about teens’ favorite video-sharing app just weeks before her departure from Archewell was reported, Sananes announced: “I am the executive producer and creator of Archetypes, hosted by Meghan, Duchess of Sussex.”
“The 40 most powerful people in podcasting are not executives, they are not celebrity hosts and they are not talent agents,” Sananes said.
They are the producers. Producers edit, research, write, script, make it sound good, score, everything you love about your favorite podcast is because a producer made it and producers are being undervalued, undervalued and underpaid and it’s making them industry boring and slow. Let’s do better.
The first season of Archetypes has seen Meghan joined by guests including Mariah Carey, Serena Williams, Jameela Jamil and Paris Hilton.
When the Duchess of Sussex launched the much-publicized one, she said she felt like a different woman.
“It’s so real,” he gushed. ‘I feel different. I feel clearer. It’s like I’m finding, not finding my voice. I’ve had my voice for a long time, but to be able to use it.’
