Alex Cooper is one of the most successful podcasters and the woman behind the hit podcast, Call Her Daddy. While she likes to call herself the “Founding Father,” Alex has played a significant role in taking the podcast from focusing solely on sex-heavy topics and what was branded “female locker-room talk” to putting “a modern twist on feminism.” It is worth noting that she is the highest-paid female podcaster on Spotify, as reported by the Los Angeles Times in June 2022.

Well, it was Miley's comment that has got people curious to know more about Alex Cooper.

Many might not be aware, but just after the first episode of Alex Cooper's podcast, Call Her Daddy, which aired in 2018, it was acquired by Barstool Sports. Yes, this was even before Spotify offered her a three-year deal in 2021. It is worth noting that the show structure has evolved significantly over time. One of the major changes is that while Alex used to co-host with Sophia Franklin, her then-best friend and business partner, she now hosts the show solo. Reportedly, the duo parted ways in April 2020.

With the podcast going dark that year, many tabloids and fans speculated that a fallout had happened between Alex and Sofia. This was especially the case since both of them posted that they "legally can't speak out" about what was happening behind the scenes at the time. While the exact cause of their partnership ending remains unclear, Alex picked up Call Her Daddy again, and Sofia went on to start her own show a couple of months later.

However, today, Alex Cooper's content on the podcast exudes big-sister energy in the advice she gives her listeners. While many have reportedly told her that they miss the old Call Her Daddy, Alex currently prefers to cover a wider range of topics, all while catering to a broader demographic. Most of the topics explored on her podcast include "reclaiming your power" after experiencing trauma, self-love, sexual fluidity, and debunking mental health stigmas.
