“Her podcast is conversations with people," the Bravo boss, who appeared on 'Archetypes' in 2022, told Us Weekly. "How would she not have, of course she did."

Days after it was reported that Meghan Markle’s now-flushed podcast, “Archetypes,” might’ve been ever-so-slightly fraudulent, Andy Cohen has come to her defense. I mean, don’t act surprised. The man has been known to take up arms for an accused grifter. Just kidding. Kind of.
In case you missed it, a Podnews report claimed that multiple sources said the Duchess of Sussex didn’t conduct her own interviews and instead, edited her voice in after the fact. Cohen, who was a guest on the podcast, is now begging to differ: “Of course, I [spoke with Markle], And she definitely [interviewed me],” Bravo’s top banana told Us Weekly. “That’s an insane rumor.”
Naturally, Page Six immediately latched onto the Podnews report and pointed to an “Archetypes” episode that featured author, Allison Yarrow. Yarrow, the tabloid highlighted, thanked Markle’s producer, Farrah Safari, via this Instagram post, which called Safari a “great interviewer.” As my colleague, Rich Juzwiak, noted on Monday, Markle’s voice does appear on Yarrow’s episode and the interview doesn’t sound all that fake—unless you count Markle providing narration that’s edited in later as such. But the majority of podcast hosts do that.
