Meghan's podcast episode two review: bland platitudes and choice feminism

Most women have already had more than enough of the girl power slop this week, thanks to Lauren Sánchez getting her future husband to blast a bunch of women wearing catsuits into space for publicity. If Katy Perry wittering on about “putting the ass into astronaut” wasn’t enough to make you wish for a quick death in the cold vacuum of space, another round of Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, doling out business self-help advice might have you reaching for the airlock.

If this were a self-help podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder with Meghan would be perfectly pitched. The Duchess of Sussex knows her way around the lingo — she’s all about “showing up with love” and “talking about self-work”.

This week’s is Reshma Saujani, founder of nonprofits Girls Who Code and Moms First, who first met Meghan at Kensington Palace in 2018.
