The new deal grants SiriusXM exclusive advertising and distribution rights, along with the ability to produce additional content and host events related to Cooper’s brand.
“Call Her Daddy” was ranked as the second most listened-to podcast on Spotify in 2023, following “The Joe Rogan Experience.” Other shows on the Unwell Network include “Hot Mess with Alix Earle” and “Pretty Lonesome with Madeline Argy.”
Despite the transition, Cooper, who rose to fame after launching the podcast in 2018, has reassured her fanbase, known as “The Daddy Gang,” that they remain her top priority. She stated, “With SiriusXM, we will continue to innovate and provide my listeners with the best possible experience.”
