“There was no woman out there being so raw and honest and salacious.”
When Alex Cooper got laid off from her first postgrad job, she and her then-roommate and best friend, Sofia Franklyn, decided to start the raunchy sex podcast “Call Her Daddy.”
Today, she has one of the most lucrative deals in podcasting: $60 million to license “Call Her Daddy” exclusively to Spotify for three years. She’s also pivoted the show’s content to celebrity interviews, clinician-advised mental health information, and relationship advice. In the process, she’s become Spotify’s most popular female podcaster.
