Alexandra Cooper, a born-and-bred American, burst onto the podcasting scene, co-creating and hosting the wildly popular weekly comedy and advice podcast, Call Her Daddy, exclusively on Spotify. Since its inception, this podcast has garnered widespread acclaim, with Time Magazine hailing Cooper as "arguably the most successful woman in podcasting" in 2021.
This remarkable achievement came on the heels of a three-year exclusive deal with Spotify, worth a staggering $60 million. Notably, Cooper's annual earnings of $20 million catapulted her to the top spot as Spotify's highest-earning female podcaster, and the second-highest paid podcaster overall, eclipsed only by the illustrious Joe Rogan. Moreover, Call Her Daddy solidified its position as the second most popular podcast globally on Spotify for 2022, lagging only behind Rogan's show.
Rolling Stone has dubbed Cooper "Gen-Z's Barbara Walters" due to her knack for securing high-profile Hollywood talent and influential figures in American popular culture as guests on her podcast. This remarkable feat has earned her a reputation as a trailblazer in the world of podcasting.
In 2023, Cooper's achievements did not go unnoticed, as she was named to the prestigious Time 100 Next list, a testament to her enduring impact on the industry.
