Alex Cooper is pulling back the curtain on how she grew her Call Her Daddy podcast into a multimillion-dollar media empire in her upcoming docuseries Call Her Alex.
Hulu released a trailer for the two-part series Tuesday. In it, Cooper explains how her upbringing inspired an entrepreneurial spirit that she took with her into adulthood. Watch the trailer above.
“I was fortunate to grow up in a household where it was normalized to speak your mind,” she says. “Playing sports and making videos in my basement, those were the two things I really loved.”
When an accident takes Division I soccer away from her, she finds herself driven to find her new purpose, ultimately resulting in her hit podcast Call Her Daddy. The trailer teases details the podcast’s early days at Barstool and Cooper’s six-year journey to where she is today.
Cooper has had huge success in the podcasting space. She initially launched the advice and comedy posdcast Call Her Daddy in 2018, alongside her then co-host Sofia Franklyn, with Barstool Sports before signing a huge deal, thought to be worth around $60M, with Spotify in 2021. The podcast exploded and became second only to The Joe Rogan Experience in the podcast charts, before she moved to SiriusXM last year in a deal valued around $120M.
Call Her Alex will launch on June 10 following its June 8 debut at Tribeca Festival.
