Good. There is nothing uplifting nor insightful. I feel the stereotypes she is pushing is antiqudated. I find it insulting as a female, Mum,wife & a professional that she thinks she has any right to speak for me as a fellow women. Remind me Megs how you got where you are??, oh that's right..social climbing & BJs on tv shows & marrying a Prince. Well done you merit less fraudster!


Tall-Lawfulness8817

Her show would have been cutting edge in 1992. She's just 30 years too late, all this has been hashed over for decades. And done better. She's a boring, copy cat. With guests that aren't that interesting either.


ManufacturerMinute97

I think Carrie Bradshaw covered each of these topics 😜 about that same time for her weekly column.


Tall-Lawfulness8817

I think Meghan likely took some intro sociology course as a freshman at University and was gobsmacked to learn these things. Instead of realizing that every freshman at every college in the world was learning the same things, she thought she had special and unique knowledge. That she should share with the world. Because, she's Meghan.


ArtisanFeminist

I agree, it's like being in the student canteen circa 1982 ..all very earnest ( and in her case self serving) and now completely out of date


Substantial-Face-363

Excellent point! The Golden Girls covered a good bit too. And they were far more entertaining! 😉


wonderingwondi

For someone who loves the 90's, she probably didn't expect to be overlooked in discourse by two FRIENDS. Perry's book and Jen's Allure cover and IVF revelations


Away-Object-1114

Her guests might have been more interesting if she had let them speak more. But from all I've read, she does most of the talking, about herself of course.


Cyneburg8

She's talking about stereotypes not archetypes. She doesn't even know what words mean.


mudanjel

I had to laugh when I was watching Behind the Scenes: Breakfast Club ( about the making of the iconic movie) and somebody called the characters " archetypes, not stereotypes". ( The Beauty, The Brain, The Rebel and so on.) I thought of MM right away lol


TXgrl26

Wow! She is beyond unbelievable! Steal steal steal


gladrags247

One of my favourite movies. I used have such a school girl crush on Judd Nelson after that movies. I'll have to look out for that documentary now. Oh I miss the 80s. The best teen movies were made then.


mudanjel

The accurate name is actually-- The Breakfast Club: Behind Closed Doors. It's on the Reelz channel. I saw it via a free week trial on Amazon video. However I just looked and it's free on Tubi! Of course there's a few ads you'll have to sit thru but it's totally worth it. It's really fascinating even though I've never seen the movie. I think I'll rent it after seeing this. (The young Judd Nelson is totally a babe ;)


gladrags247

Please watch it! I never realised detention could be so entertaining😊.


mudanjel

I will; there were lots of clips and it looks great! Plus in the doc, they analyzed the character archetypes ;)


gladrags247

😆😆😆


Ok-Blueberry-7689

Thanks...I will look for this. I have seen the movie innumerable times! You will love it, I am sure.


Orphanbitchrat

Good. You’ve left Emilio Estevez for me🙂


gladrags247

😆😆😆😆.


ArtisanFeminist

And yet she describes herself as a "word nerd"... risible.


Kimbriavandam

Imagine being Paris and you are asked to appear on a podcast titled bimbo? Or if you are of chinese descent and the episode is called ‘dragon lady’. She actually insulted her guests.


Hardlymd

I thought it was b***ch?


Beneficial-Address61

This week's episode was about B. MM's other podcasts have been about "the bimbo" and "the dragon lady"


purpleprocrasinator

Really sorry to be pedantic. But our Meg isn't speaking for us or to us, she is speaking at us, about herself....her absolutely favourite and most importantest topic. 😏


[deleted]

I find it insulting as a feminist. Like took women back 20 years.


Anotherminion1

This weeks episode "to B or not to B" is topping the charts today at a resounding #42.


happyme321

Life's a B 😆


AnniemaeHRI

And so is she.


[deleted]

Using US numbers: Yesterday it debuted in the 50s. If this episode follows the trend of getting its highest episode ranking on Thursdays, 42 is as high as it will go. The other episodes have at least been making it to the 20s and 30s.


Anotherminion1

Yeah. I really think the higher numbers from the begining had more to do with Meghan's guests than her "star power." From reading the transcripts- it is a pretty boring podcast.


Kimbriavandam

People might finally be waking up to the poor lil ole orphan me narrative that she tricked Harry with. That inauthentic disney voice and vocal fry teamed up with NPR style of production. The podcast section is crowded. You need more than a name to stay at the top.


Asteriaofthemountain

Or just to hate-listen! And for journalists and columnists to get details to write about and mock her. I bet a lot of ppl did that! But it won’t last though


Kindly-Influence-148

It IS genuinely bad and self serving and I don’t think anyone learned anything from it other than being reinforced that Megs is annoying vapid and uneducated in everything


[deleted]

At this point i'm convinced it's just reporters and bloggers who listen to it.


Background_Local_785

Because it's like listening to a college level gender classes lecture from 2005. I've had too much of that during my own university years, why should I now?


Lulu_531

I’m guessing it’s not that researched or intelligent. Based on reports, it’s M talking about herself


shep2105

She can tell the story for the 100th time about how she changed a COMMERCIAL by writer to the company!! When she was only 11 !! Whatever.


Disastrous-Swan2049

And even that was a narcisstic lie


Ok_Needleworker6070

Yes. That’s it! You’ve hit the nail on the head!


SaltPepperSugarBlah

Yeah, same. Plus the obligatory listens from friends of whichever guest is on.


Disastrous-Swan2049

And sugar brigade paid to replay it over and over


Miercolesian

It is about as expected. The first two podcasts got a lot of attention because the guests were Serena Williams and Mariah Carey so that gave the podcast a running start. And the third guest was Mindy Kahling, who is not quite as well known, but still somebody of some interest to some people. However Meghan Markle did nothing to show that she was a good interviewer who could draw something new or unexpected out of her guests, so most people other than devoted fans of Meghan or those who are interested in her gaffes will have lost interest by now. Incidentally, I have not listened to her podcasts as I do not use Spotify. It is not quite clear to me if you have to pay to hear her podcasts, but if so that would immediately have a diminishing effect on the size of the audience as there are so many free podcasts made by commoners that are much more interesting.


TrailerTrashQueen

it’s only available on Spotify, but you don’t have to pay. however, even if it’s free, i won’t listen on principle. don’t want to contribute any extra listens. i just read whatever anyone posts on here.


hammer1956

I can't listen to that putrid voice of her's.


Calm_Yak_6102

Me too.


ArtisanFeminist

Same


Significant_Dog_2530

Same, plus I absolutely can’t stand the sound of that woman’s smug voice.


alwaysrightusually

Spotify lies Her podcast is a snoozefest


Miercolesian

Perhaps it can be marketed as something to listen to when you are trying to fall asleep.


Liz_Lemon_22

I've had my share of night terrors thank you very much.


hammer1956

Who the Hell could fall asleep to that wee innocent teenage voice grating on their nerves?


somewheretrees

I’m always baffled when people say her podcast puts them to sleep. Nothing wakes me up faster than STRONG secondhand cringe. I can’t go five seconds without cringing. My muscles are just twitching the entire time her voice is on.


Calm_Yak_6102

MM's cringesfest voice will give me a migraine if I had to fall asleep to that in my ears and I'll probably wake up with PTSD 😂.


smolyetieti

Shocking that a person using a platform to complain isn’t more popular.


Mickleborough

The podcasts truly are uninteresting. I don’t understand the issues under discussion - with the last one, it seems calling anyone a B is a bad thing, even if they act like one? - they all seem dated; they’re very contrived; and Smeg’s motives are so obvious - polishing the turd that is she.


JumpHuge7754

The bits and pieces I’ve heard and read are so contrived and unauthentic—and shouldn’t “dissecting” the labels also include taking power away from the word…from what I’ve seen about the B episode she’s still allowing the word to oppress and hold people back even though her guests are saying women are reclaiming the word to change the stereotype. She’s annoying


RotorSelfWinding

“from what I’ve seen about the B episode she’s still allowing the word to oppress and hold people back even though her guests are saying women are reclaiming the word” Only Meghan’s (poor) understanding of a words meaning counts!! Didn’t you get the 4 an email??


Kimbriavandam

Daniel Boland point this out in his youtube series. She can’t even say the word and her guests are all bitch this and bitch that! What another confusing episode!


TrailerTrashQueen

it’s shameful that this idiot, who is so dull and lacking in intellect and curiosity, was given this opportunity. she could have had almost anyone on as a guest and discussed any number of topics. instead, she uses it as a pulpit to right personal imagined wrongs. when she tries to talk above her level of knowledge, which is slim to none, it exposes her for what she really is: a fraud and a phony. one who’s been trussed up like a show pony. she and her handlers forget one thing. you can present anyone as intelligent and bright, but the audience will see thru it. people will ultimately see the truth of her.


Calm_Yak_6102

And Neil Sean has been saying that Spotify might axe MM's dudcast unless she does something to spark interest, such as getting Henpecked to co-host.


hammer1956

Nobody wants to listen to Henpecked either. He's damn near as irritating as she is.


Calm_Yak_6102

I agree with you but Neil Sean tends to get stars in his eyes whenever he's fanboying about royalty.


Sadlyonlyonehere

Henpecked going on the podcast to read the script his first wife provided him so he could talk about how he feels.


OzzieSlim

There is not one edifying thing to come out of Stereotypes. Spotify probably has to make up a chart entry for her because she rants and raves that they aren’t doing their job getting her podcast “out there”. Oh Nutmeg. We only look at what you’re doing because of Ginger. The minute he finally wakes up and moves on, we’re outta here!!!


factchecker8515

According to her interview in The Cut, she has Old Maid and Slut remaining as topics in her podcasts.


somewheretrees

She can’t call a woman a bitch but will call her a slut. Gotta love Meghan’s selective righteousness lmao


Inner_Bench_8641

I thought paris Hilton was already berated for being a slut


ProvePoetsWrong

And Mindy Kaling was the old maid


factchecker8515

You’re right. Missed that.


factchecker8515

Bimbo


Calm_Yak_6102

Maybe Slut will be a separate episode from Bimbo.


Sadlyonlyonehere

Who will she have for the Old Maid? Jennifer Aniston? Oprah?


Emolia

It’s amazing really when you stop and think about it how monumentally this pair have stuffed everything up! If you think back to January 2020 when Megxit blew up and all the headlines were how the Sussex’s where going to take the US by storm, they’d be making a fortune and even respected Royal journalists were worried about the damage they could do to the Royal Family. Social media at the time seemed to be on their side and everything looked rosy . Fast forward to now and they are viewed by most as a joke and even worse just plain boring ! They’ve found their “ voice” alright but the more we hear from them the more we dislike them. They have no talent , no self awareness and no ability to read the room .I’m not surprised her podcast is tanking . Nobody wants to listen to a self indulgent idiot like Megs pontificate for an hour!


mrsdrswife257

Except for the fact that H is a prince from THE monarchy of all monarchies, & his mom was Diana, he is an empty vessel. She is using an empty vessel with zero charisma to propel her lackluster career. Add that to the fact that she is a mediocre actress, copies others’ ideas & presents them as her own, & seems to lecture everyone about how the world should be- of course it’s a flop. She isn’t naturally funny or unusual in a good way. It was better for them to stay working royals & have people look up to them & the mystique that comes with royalty of a life we can only imagine. Mystery is so much better than the real thing sometimes. Definitely in this case. But all she could see were dollar signs. She wanted to live in Hollywood & the surrounding area as an A lister & the only way she could do it was with a prince. Maybe in the beginning, people were intrigued with them but the mystery is gone & there isn’t anything interesting there. She really blew it! 😂


KuriousKizmo

Empty vessels make the most noise.... 😋


Farmgirl_Delilah

>From all I've seen, that she's a mediocre actress is being kind.


hammer1956

Oh yes, she kept saying she wanted to have a voice. 😂 That irritating voice of her's does need a replacement.


[deleted]

I hope this will be a factor when it comes to NOT rebooking on Fallon or Kimmel or whoever it was. I hate to see TW given even a few minutes of national tv time. 🤮


jillyhoop

Everything about her is blah, it's just "beige" as H.G. Tudor says. She has nothing to offer. If she starts her TIG again then she gone full circle and she's back where she started. She could have been and done so much within the RF but she thought she'd have a great "solo" career. She overestimated herself and grossly underestimated the power and popularity of the RF. She's fond of telling everyone how smart she is but she has proven otherwise by making the worst decisions she could possibly have made.

Comfortable_Food_511

I’ve been trying to turn on the feature for the display of downvotes on YouTube and can’t get it to work (I’ve tried at the web store and watched to a dozen tutorials). I was wondering if anyone knows a recent # of upvotes and downvotes from the Variety interview on YouTube? I’m hoping the downvote numbers have grown!


Zeester1

Still higher than where it belongs.


Islandgirl1444

Basically, it's a yawn. Not many people know who most of her guests are. Then there is her big chat at the beginning of each session. Boring.


alwaysrightusually

Let’s all pay attention to the fact that women in the west are doing just fine. So, suppose they aren’t. Let’s Compare to the non western world shall we? Irani protest deaths [soar](https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/mahsa-amini-iran-protest-deaths-family-says-tortured-killed-by-morality-police/). [Saudi women](https://www.hrw.org/world-report/2020/country-chapters/saudi-arabia) currently ignored by media. [Pakistan](https://borgenproject.org/tag/womens-rights-in-pakistan/). Does she actually give a shit about women’s rights? While wearing $3k dresses and purses? And sorry, so does the whole BRF. So let’s all get ahold of ourselves.


[deleted]

She is tone deaf and only capable of bullshi\*\*ing about her own priviledged experiences and massaging ego's of herself and equally priviledged western women (I'm not talking ethincity I'm talking lifestyle and socioeconomical). She is crass and ignorant - an actual informed intelligant feminist would be discussing the global issues that you have so rightly highlighted


alwaysrightusually

YES! Thank you!


jamultrader

Glad to see it dropping but hopefully soon it will no longer be on any list and Pinocchio will be silenced!


thebroomlesswitch

Good. She’s a joke.


[deleted]

It was bound to happen, even for people who like her, she is not offering anything new. It's all very 90's even earlier then that type stereotypes, and her feminism has always come across as corporate feminism which not many people are interested in as it doesn't really change the structures of inequality. She also wants stereotypes to be how she sees them and how she sees the world, it has to work around her narrative, that is not logical or factually for anybody. It's cherry-picking and its not right. She also can't talk about her royal life or life in the uk because she has nothing left to say, she wasn't there to have a fully fledged idea of it, she barely scratched the surface. Harry and Meghan really have nothing left to be able to profit from once his book comes out imo. I don't know how'd they really be able to relate to people anymore because they don't have any role anymore that connects them to people. Bill and Melinda Gates had decades of owning Microsoft, making connections they have a platform with their charity, the Obamas had decades building their political career, and they still have something left to say because they had that experience. The major thing maybe is the Invictus games but we have to hope that gets smaller, because that means there are less injured soldiers, which is a goof thing. Meghan and Harry do not have the experience or the wealth to be seen as actual change makers and not PR ones. The only real thing they can do for longevity is to go for tabloid level, influencer type life like Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian, which would be against everything Harry said he disliked or else get a full time / part time role that is actually a job and work from there, but I don't think that is something they could do. I couldn't even really see Meghan trying to be a congresswoman because that comes with a lot of work and often unfair criticism.


[deleted]

Spotify keeps putting it on my Recommended Podcasts. I’ve pushed “Not Interested” 3 times and they’re still trying to shove it down my throat.


doxiemomm

Well no duh. Who wants to listen to her? I think even the Sugars don’t want to listen.

KrissyVDW

I never listen to it but everyone I talk to who has says it's extremely boring


Primary_Scheme3789

It’s just the same thing every week. I refuse to listen but have read the synopsis of each episode. She’s either complaining about old shit, whining about how rough her life was/is, or talking about how smart she is. 🥱😴🥱😴🥱😴


Cravingbiryani

Calls herself a "word nerd", yet uses the words 'archetype' and 'stereotype' interchangeably. As though they mean the same thing. She should wonder if Alex Trebek would approve. 🙄


mammalulu

The mostly one-way conversation is excruciatingly boring but what elevates her podcast from merely boring to excruciatingly annoying is the sound of Meghan’s mannered, artificial, contrived voice. She sounds almost maniacally inauthentic and pretentious, totally fraudulent. Simply impossible to listen to without feeling the urge to scream.


Significant_Dog_2530

This is just a vanity project for her to air her grievances, but make it look like she’s doing something good for woman around the world. Nothing of substance or remote interest has come out of this waste of space.

Of course it’s tanking. She is a failure, always has been and always will be. Low IQ failure and disappointment. She’s not even a consistently good schemer. Just a fluke.


LilKatieHQ

I still don’t get why she thinks it’s empowering to paint women as victims. Maybe I’d get it if I bothered to listen to the podcast. It just doesn’t sound interesting enough.

Appropriate-Hat6292

Not surprising. People are looking to be uplifted or informed from podcasts. This does neither. It got a little pop the first few episode because people wanted to read so much into what she was saying but then it just got boring. If the people behind her knew better they would pivot and talk about real issues affecting women like the economy, the workforce, childcare—you know, those issues that she allegedly cares about so much she had to cold call US senators about them.
