Meghan Markle Is Taking a Break from Her Podcast
Meghan Markle is ready to take a break. Not from her marriage to Prince Harry or her Netflix show, With Love, Meghan, but from her podcast. After finishing her first season of Confessions of a Female Founder, Meghan confirmed that she is taking a step back from podcasting to focus on her other business venture: As Ever.
It's no secret that Meghan's Lemonada Media podcast is on hiatus. The season finale of her pod, 'Business is Not a Battlefield with SPANX's Sara Blakely,' premiered May 27, with a special bonus episode featuring Tina Knowles dropped June 3. But while fans might have assumed that season 2 of Confessions of a Female Founder was already in the works, it turns out the podcast isn't just on hiatus—it's on pause.
Meghan confirmed the news on a podcast—where else? 'I love that there's so much excitement and desire for a second season,' she said, per Us Weekly during an appearance on Aspire with Emma Grede, 'but I need to focus on my business.'
She continued, saying that growing her lifestyle/jam brand is her priority, but it's difficult to do that while juggling a podcast and a Netflix show. 'Very rarely do people see everything that's happening behind the scenes. I show a small glimpse of that, but equally, I wrapped season 1 of my Netflix series, still had to promote it, still had to be in edits for season 2.' At the end of the day, there was just only so much she can do, she said, adding, 'At a certain point, the only thing I want spread thin is my jam!'
To that end, she's focused on making her best-selling jam, building As Ever, and developing her business using the tools she's learned from all her interviews on the podcast. And, who knows, she just might bring back Confessions of a Female Founder to share all of the business tips she learns along the way. 'I would love to bring the show back when I am at a different end of my founder journey,' Meghan said. 'When I've gone through Q4 and say, 'Here are my proof points... wow, what a year it's been.' Or even longer than that. I think a different time will be so exciting to compare and contrast.'
So, there you have it. This female founder isn't going to say much again until at least one year into her business, which, FYI is having new product drop on Friday, June 20.

Streaming Has Overtaken Traditional TV for the First Time Ever
Streaming became the most popular single form of TV usage years ago, but that was not its final hurdle. The juggernaut of broadcast and cable television combined meant that consumers were still using traditional TV services more than streaming overall, even if streaming was more popular than either of them individually. According to data from Nielsen, streaming just overcame this final hurdle. Nielsen says that in May, cable television accounted for 24.1% of all TV usage and broadcast TV represented 20.1% of all viewership for a total of 44.2%. Streaming services accounted for 44.8% of total viewership, just surpassing the combined efforts of cable and broadcast. This has happened on single days, namely during large events such as the Mike Tyson-Jake Paul fight on Netflix, but streaming has never sustained that edge for an entire month. The numbers were aided by the addition of more streaming services to Nielsen's metrics. The original list included streaming giants like Netflix, Disney+, YouTube, Hulu and Amazon's Prime Video. It was expanded to 11 total services and now includes the Roku Channel, Paramount+, Tubi, Peacock, and Warner Bros. Discovery. The next milestone for streaming will be keeping this lead for an entire quarter. For the time being, cable and broadcast still rule that statistic, combining for 57.6% of all TV streaming in the first quarter of 2025, with streaming comprising 42.4%. Should streaming keep its current lead, the second quarter of 2025 could mark the first quarter that streaming overtakes traditional TV and holds the lead. YouTube and Netflix winning big YouTube led the way for streaming services at a hefty 12.5% of viewership. Following that is Netflix, which remains the largest single video-on-demand service, a title it's held for four years in a row. Rounding out the top five is Disney via Disney+ and Hulu, Prime Video, and the Roku Channel. However, YouTube is the biggest winner. Not only does it lead all streaming services in market share, but it also has the highest share ever measured by Nielsen and leads the way in a growing segment of free, ad-supported services, also known as FAST services. The other FAST services measured by the data firm, including PlutoTV, the Roku Channel, and Tubi, combined for 5.7% of all TV viewing in May 2025, which is more than any individual broadcast network over the same time.
