Spotify recently made headlines as it announced the termination of 200 jobs, a move that followed the unsuccessful podcast deal with Harry and Meghan.
While this may seem like a small percentage of Spotify's workforce, accounting for only 2%, it is significant considering the impact on the company's podcast business, which makes up around 7-9% of their total listening time.
The failed partnership with Meghan, who was offered a staggering $100 million contract to produce podcasts, has raised eyebrows and sparked speculation.
The hefty price tag attached to Meghan's podcast deal has left many questioning the true intentions behind the collaboration.

The situation is further complicated by the fact that other high-profile figures such as Michelle Obama, Kim Kardashian, and Joe Rogan were also brought on board by Ostroff.
