“Daddy’s” new house is valued at millions of dollars. The creator of the Unwell Network and host of the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, Alex Cooper, is bringing her multimillion-dollar audio empire to SiriusXM. Beginning in 2025, she will premiere “extensive exclusive content” on SiriusXM, the audio entertainment firm said on Tuesday. The Hollywood Reporter claims that the podcaster’s multi-year contract is valued at $125 million.
Cooper, who launched “Call Her Daddy” in 2018 with co-creator Sofia Franklyn, said in a release that she is excited for the next chapter of her career with SiriusXM, teasing that her team has more in store for her “Daddy Gang.” In addition to “Call Her Daddy,” the roster of other Unwell Network series including “Hot Mess With Alix Earle,” “Pretty Lonesome With Madeline Argy,” “Boyfriend Material With Harry Jowsey,” and “In Your Dreams With Owen Thiele” will also find a new home at SiriusXM.
Cooper began “Call Her Daddy” under Barstool Sports but in 2021 left the media company for Spotify under a deal reportedly worth $60 million. With Spotify, Cooper expanded her podcast’s reach and reputation, becoming a go-to platform for stars including Jane Fonda, Post Malone, Miley Cyrus, Janelle Monáe, Rebel Wilson and Gwyneth Paltrow, who have been among high-profile “Call Her Daddy” guests.
While Cooper and her Unwell Network shows have a new home in SiriusXM, the deal isn’t exclusive, and other streaming platforms including Spotify will also broadcast shows under Cooper’s banner.
