Most Americans Were Never Interested in Meghan Markle Podcasting
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Meghan Markle's struggle to break through with her business podcast Confessions of a Female Founder may in part be explained by polling conducted at the time she first signed with Spotify. The Duchess of Sussex has now chalked up two podcasts: Archetypes, about sexist slurs, and Confessions of a Female Founder, which featured interviews about prominent women who run companies. The first made waves when she dished about the royal family in the early episodes but sunk in the charts in later shows when she steered clear of the palace soap opera. Meghan Markle listens to a broadcast through headphones during a visit to Reprezent 107.3FM community radio station in Brixton, south west London, on January 9, 2018.

DOMINIC LIPINSKI/AFP via Getty Images The second had nothing do with the monarchy and struggled to make an impact beyond the first episode. That may in reality be no surprise as polling as far back as 2020 suggests Americans may simply never have been particularly interested in Prince Harry and Meghan podcasting. Why It Matters Meghan launched a flurry of new projects in 2025 but had a rough ride among critics for both her Netflix cooking show and Confessions, which were both tied to her own business As Ever, which launched in April. Now the first phase of those ventures is over, she will have a chance to take stock and consider what is working well and what could do with a revamp. What to Know Polling agency YouGov asked 5,400 U.S. adults in December 2020 how much interest they would have in listening to Harry and Meghan's podcasts. Just 8 percent said they were "very interested" while 53 percent said they were "not at all interested." And 16 percent were "not very interested" while 15 percent were "somewhat interested." This adds up to a total of 69 percent falling on the side of disinterest compared to 23 percent who expressed interest. At the time, they had just signed their Spotify deal but no specific shows had been publicly revealed and in the end it would be a year-and-a-half before Archetypes dropped. It was, though, also a time when they had not been giving interviews and therefore media appetite to hear what they had to say was far higher than now. The Oprah Winfrey interview, for example, was still months away and was not even known about in December 2020. In that respect, Harry and Meghan's reputations in America were still mostly uncontroversial bar a run-in with Donald Trump after they commented on the presidential election he lost to Joe Biden. Some might, therefore, by tempted to conclude that Meghan should not take the lukewarm response to her podcast to heart and simply focus on other more successful projects. What Happens Next Meghan's As Ever online shop has sold out all three of its product runs in mere minutes but more produce is expected to drop this summer, specifically a sparkling wine. Season 2 of her Netflix show With Love, Meghan is also due out in the fall, while the Netflix deal itself is due to run out in September. As yet, a new deal has not been signed and The Sun and People both reported Netflix does not intend to renew it. Time will tell whether some continuation of the partnership gets renegotiated or not.

Bizarre, beachy sex fetish has Americans hot under the collar this summer — blame the steamy weather, experts say
There's a new summer accessory heating up pool parties — and no, it's not a thong bikini or a margarita slushie. It's a beach ball. And it's making people very hot under the inflatable collar. According to a new report by adult video platform Clips4Sale, summer is turning up the temperature on some steamy — and very specific — kinks, including a 46.85% surge in content featuring people blowing up beach balls. Yes, that's what people are watching — hopefully behind closed cabana doors. 'We often think of summer as a slow season for adult content because people are out of the house more,' a representative for the sexy site wrote. 'But summer also awakens these specific, beachy fetishes that lie dormant the rest of the year,' they explained. Turns out, while you're worrying about avoiding sunburn and getting bikini waxes, someone out there is sexually fixated on scuba gear — up 37.44% — or obsessed with pool floaties. Even sweat is getting its turn in the sun, with views of glistening, sticky clips spiking nearly 18%. Swimming content alone skyrocketed by 189.72% — because nothing says 'summer fling' like synchronized splashing and a strategically unzipped wetsuit. And this isn't just a seasonal slip — it's part of a growing national trend toward boutique kinks. Back in February, Clips4Sale published its annual United States of Fetish report — revealing that Americans' horniest habits are both highly regional and off-the-wall. When entering 2025, the data showed 'several converging trends,' the site's Avery Martin said at the time. 'We've seen tremendous growth not only in giantess and vore fantasies, but also chastity, ballbusting and pegging,' they revealed. That's right — the most popular fetish nationwide is the giantess fantasy, or getting hot and bothered over towering women who could crush you like a Capri Sun. New Yorkers in particular can't get enough of it, along with citizens of New Jersey, Tennessee, Indiana, D.C., and Arizona. Martin explained the phenomenon: 'While there's a public resurgence of masculine energy, privately men are fantasizing about powerful women. It may be alphas in the streets, but it's beta in the sheets.' Close behind was vore — the fantasy of being eaten or doing the eating — which overtook giantess in places like California and Nevada. The South, meanwhile, keeps it light with a thirst for 'tickling' and 'wrestling,' while Utah's top search? Balloons. We'll leave that one alone. 'Part of the explanation may lie in volume,' Martin added. 'The number of searches nearly doubled in the past year. Americans are increasingly open to exploring fetish, and states are finding their freak.' From pedal-pumping in Mississippi to testicle torture (aka 'ballbusting') in Connecticut, it's clear: this summer, kink is a contact sport — and your average beach day just got a lot more blown up. So if you catch someone side-eyeing your pool floatie a little too long, don't be surprised. It's not just summer love — it's summer lust. Solve the daily Crossword
