10 top celebrity podcasts to check out in 2023: from Gwyneth Paltrow’s The Goop Podcast and Dua Lipa: At Your Service, to High Low with EmRata and I Weigh with Jameela Jamil
- Meghan Markle’s podcast Archetypes came to an end this year – but not before the duchess used her access to sit down with stars like Serena Williams, Mariah Carey, Deepika Padukone and Paris Hilton
- But there are plenty of celeb-hosted productions you can still listen to, like SmartLess with Will Arnett, Jason Bateman and Sean Hayes, I Weigh with Jameela Jamil and The Big Podcast with Shaq O’Neal
It’s official: Meghan Markle’s Archetypes podcast has come to an end.
The Duchess of Sussex reportedly withdrew her application to trademark the name after confirming in June that the Spotify podcast would not be returning for a second season. During its run, the Suits star interviewed a string of notable A-listers including Serena Williams, Mariah Carey, Mindy Kaling, Deepika Padukone and Paris Hilton.
It’s pretty common for big shots like Markle to hop on the podcast train. With their famous names, high profiles, Hollywood connections and already huge fan followings, it’s a no-brainer for celebrities to give this creative venture a shot.
So, which other famous faces host podcasts that you can listen to in 2023?
1. SmartLess – Will Arnett, Jason Bateman and Sean Hayes
