This partnership brings exclusive content from two of the most prominent celebrities to serve and grow Spotify’s global audience of 320 million monthly active users. The company said Tuesday in a press release that the two “will host and produce podcasts that build community through shared experiences, narratives and values.”
Archewell Audio’s multi-year partnership with Spotify includes numerous programs, some hosted and others produced by the Duke and Duchess. A holiday special organized by them will be released later this month. His first series will premiere next year. All projects will be available exclusively on Spotify.
“What we like about podcasting is that it reminds us all to take a moment and really listen, to connect with each other without distraction,” the Duke and Duchess of Sussex said in a joint statement. “With the challenges of 2020, there has never been a more important time to do that, because when we listen to each other and listen to the stories of others, we are reminded of the interconnectedness we all have.”
“The Duke and Duchess of Sussex may live in California, but the power of their voices depends on their status as citizens of the world,” Ostroff said in a statement Tuesday. “That they are adopting the extraordinary capacity of podcasts on Spotify, while also seeking to raise under-represented voices, is a testament to their appreciation for the potential of audio storytelling.”
