So even Spotify is sick of Harry and Meghan. They’re ‘fucking grifters’, said an executive there after their multimillion-dollar deal to make saccharine, sub-Oprah pods for the platform came to an end. It was Bill Simmons, founder of the Ringer podcast network, which he sold to Spotify in 2020. On his own podcast – everyone has a podcast these days – Simmons said Spotify should have called their pod with H&M ‘The Fucking Grifters’. He also threatened to get drunk one day and blab about the time he tried to help witless Harry with a podcast idea – ‘It’s one of my best stories’. ‘Fuck them. The grifters’, he said.
