Meghan Markle Archetype podcasts & interviews

[susan12345678]

As the last thread filled up & there's plenty of discussion of Meghan's interview in The Cut, seems worthwhile starting a new thread!

A read yesterday that a series of media interviews are planned to promote the podcasts. Should be very interesting if The Cut interview is anything to go by!

@IcedPurple , chill a bit.

it is relevant and I think Kate could learn from MM how to use her RF platform in a modern way (although that would mean being willing to learn and working hard).

Podcasts are a fantastic platform to reach out and engage. But it requires training, skills and hard work.

Erm is @Flowerandtrees taxpayer funded? Maybe she works privately and has a private job or her own company. Whatever..................

Exactly. We heard virtually nothing about Serena's hard work and achievements.

Again, it took Meghan two years to come up with what appears to be a very mediocre and vapid series of podcasts, where Meghan's main focus, as always, is Meghan.

Given that many people produce high quality podcasts on a weekly basis, in addition to completing other projects, I'm not seeing much evidence of 'hard work' here.

Maybe SS have made a few more appointments?

It’s also shocking that this is news to you, but fully two thirds of court claims are settled out of court, many where the defendant has an excellent defence to the claim against them, but because the claim would take up far too much time, money, and energy to defend, and (as int his case) winning would be a Pyrrhic victory - the damage to Andrew’s reputation could not possibly be reversed even if he won the case. Faced with a tactical case against him, where the claimant had forum shopped to find the most favourable location for her to sue him, he made a pragmatic decision. If you’ve ever been a defendant in a court case, you would know how high the stakes are.

This is so whether he was guilty or not. I think Andrew is horrid, but you simply can’t draw any conclusions for him choosing to settle the case.

She could quite easily be tax payer funded - I was throughout my entire career. The reason I asked is because her assessment of achievement is pretty low if she thinks podcasts rank highly and it’s always interesting to see what people have achieved themselves when they criticise others.

The podcast was about ambition, not "Serena's Life'. If you are really interested in her, her story has been around for ions. You don't give a damn, just want to use her as a beating stick.

The conversation was a listen in to friends having a conversation, with MM as host, therefore her job is to explain the narration, make affirmations we cannot see - as it's a podcast. Every good podcaster does it.

I see the Independent has written an article covering the fact South African security confirmed the fire, and the British authorities tried to cover it up.

Shameful.

@Serenster didn't he also say he'd co operate with the FBI ?

Or is that something else that you'll try to excuse

Oh if we're just wandering all over the places, then I posit a discussion about which of Epstein's famous US friends, the US media should target next - any suggestions?
And then, to swing back round to topic, what about more suggestions for MM's podcast - I think Amanda Gorman would be good. Is there a list of forthcoming guests?

Now I know you are taking the piss.

Also worse noting that there’s a team of 20 or so people credited on the podcasts Meghan has released to date. It’s not like shes been beavering away creating them on her own.

There's a lot of hard work going in this afternoon to create a diversion. Hope it's well paid!

I see the Independent has written an article covering the fact South African security confirmed the fire, and the British authorities tried to cover it up.

There was no fire, LOL. There was a faulty heater giving off a small amount of smoke. They probably agreed not to report it because it was such a minor incident and they didn't want it to be misrepresented by the media as something that it wasn't.

How is Kate playing tennis with Emma supposed to inspire anyone?

emma is inspiring and well known, so what does Kate playing tennis with her actually achieve? (I heard a bit about it and it seemed somewhat attention seeking and a bit celebrity)

the podcasts with Serena is far better way to inspire. And yes, I agree the chat could have drawn out Serena more.

I do think the RF could listen and learn, if they want to survive

@StolenWillowTree that is the same report that we discussed on here a couple of days ago. The source did not actually see the fire, only the melted heater. No one has disputed the fact that there was a faulty heater. But no one actually saw a fire.

This is hilarious. How is it simultaneously 'friends just having a chat' and also a difficult job requiring skills etc.?

Presumably it was produced and edited by other people, therefore any technical or difficult bits were done by others.

I mean, you absolutely can draw conclusions. Andrew said he never met Virgina Roberts in the interview that no royalist talks about anymore, because they're too busy dregging up the Oprah one for the umpteenth time. As far as I'm aware, he's never retracted that statement. So why on earth would he pay out to someone he's never even met? If all it takes is a completely unfounded claim against a royal to receive a substantial payout, then every single member of the royal family would be constantly paying out millions. Her claim had basis and that's why he had to settle. To believe otherwise is to quite spectacularly bury your head in the sand.

If the fire had such a scary affect on her its strange she has never mentioned it before. I mean crikey she goes on about everything else. Re the n word it probably in the comments because dm/express/the mirror and the sun all have racist right wingers especially on the mms
So the only thing I can think of is that she reads everything including peoples comments below
They don't moderate them and some are pretty horrendous and need to be reported to the moderator (and yes that means you daily fail)

Good point.

@serenster you may not draw conclusions from it but the rest of the real world certainly does.

And we can draw conclusions from his failure to keep his 'pledge' to help the FBI any way he can.

Over 1000 days and waiting

You're clearly a royalist , is defending Andrew really part of that?

notanotheroneagainw was quite clearly describing the tone of the podcast. Meghan had to achieve a lot in that first episode: set out intentions for the rest of the series, host the content, give listeners enough of Serena to not overshadow her, but also give listeners enough of herself as she's the one that Spotify paid for, not Serena, and also ensure that her friend was comfortable and that their conversation came over as natural.

I'm not going to say she hit a home run, I'd definitely have preferred to have heard a bit more from Serena. But it's harder than it looks to deliver all these different aspects and I think she did fine.

It's friends having a chat, but still has to have structure, hence MM has to come in and make explanations and clarify the narrative. Make sure she still brings it back to the subject matter. That is what all podcasts do.

Even in panel shows, everyone is just being themselves (well mostly), but the host always needs to make sure that you come back to the subject and not stray too much into your own conversation.

MM did a good job of that, without sounding too 'policing'.
