Alex Cooper is moving her podcast “Call Her Daddy” deal to SiriusXM after securing a multi-year agreement. The podcast and the Unwell Network will, however, remain on Spotify.
The 29-year-old host has gained significant recognition for her candid interviews with influencers and celebrities such as Alix Earle, Simone Biles, and Post Malone. Covering topics like sex, dating, and mental health, the show has become a platform where guests can spill it all, and Cooper consistently brings in the hottest personalities of the moment.
Originally launched at Barstool, then on Spotify, and now, the podcast’s move to SiriusXM reportedly involves a deal worth over $125 million, according to an insider who spoke with Variety. Other sources suggest the deal could be closer to $100 million.
In a statement, Cooper expressed her excitement about the transition: “I am beyond excited to work with SiriusXM… The Daddy Gang will always be my top priority, and with SiriusXM, we will continue to find new ways to evolve and provide my listeners the best experience. The Daddy Gang wants more, so we’re getting ready to give them more… I can’t wait for this new chapter to begin.”
