Meghan Markle unveiled the first episode of her new Spotify podcast Archetypes, welcoming debut guest Serena Williams and promising a series “where we dissect, explore, and subvert the labels that try to hold women back.”
Today’s debut episode arrives nearly two years after Markle and husband Prince Harry, under their Archewell Audio banner, signed an exclusive multiyear deal with Spotify. Next week’s episode will feature an interview with Mariah Carey.
Also featured in today’s episode is Dr. Laura Cray, a Uc Berkeley professor and expert on gender in the workplace.
During the Williams conversation, Prince Harry drops by, apparently unexpected. “You wanna come say hi?,” Markle asks. “Look who just popped in.”
Other notable moments include Markle and Williams reflecting on embracing ambition from a young age, the struggles they felt as new mothers with careers in the public eye, and Williams discussing her decision to pivot...

Michael McKell has insisted that his twisted Emmerdale character Nick Henshall did not intend to hurt anybody when he started the village's recent blaze. The police detective was the arsonist behind January's inferno, which claimed the lives of long-standing residents Viv Hope and Terry Woods. However, speaking to Inside Soap, McKell explained that Henshall was trying to make amends for a tragic incident from his past when he started the fire. The actor commented: "Henshall's wife died in a blaze while he was a constable, but the attack was targeting him. Some bad guys tried to take revenge on him for an investigation and Henshall couldn't rescue his wife. "Because he felt powerless to help, (more)...

Britain’s Got Talent producer Andrew Llinares has claimed that people audition for the ITV1 show because they want to “change their lives”.
At the Got Talent launch today the Talkback Thames boss said:
“This is a show about real people, who have got huge, huge dreams. They come on this show for lots of reasons, but ultimately it is because they want to change their lives,” said Llinares at the programme’s launch today.
“That’s why we love the show. There’s a lot of heart in the show. We hope everyone else loves it as well.”
He added: “We set out on the auditions in January and had no idea what we were going to find. But it was incredibly exciting as it always is. It’s about finding an act to play on the Royal Variety. It is that simple format, which the show is all about.

Alright, no one but me is paying attention to this Glasgow music, but it just keeps coming, and it's remarkable.
Today's installment: Carbeth, by Glasgow's Trembling Bells. There are elements here that will delight fans of early Fairport Convention's trad rock (count me as one of them) and Devendra Banhart's twisted psychedelic folk (not so much a fan, although I do hear moments of ethereal, weird beauty). More importantly, lead songwriter Alex Neilson has worked with Scots trad troubadour Alasdair Roberts and indie folk hero Bonnie Prince Billy, and he's learned his lessons well, one of them being to find a lovely thrush to give voice to his sentiments. Hey, it worked well for Richard Thompson and Sandy Denny, and it works well here, too. Lavinia Blackwall fills the thrush role quite admirably, and when Neilson does sing, he brings a wobbly, reedy quality that recalls Terry Woods of the Pogues (no,...
