You can choose to call him daddy, but now you have to listen to him on Spotify.
“Call Her Daddy”, one of the world’s most popular podcasts, is leaving Barstool Sports for an exclusive deal with the streaming service starting July 21.
The three-year podbuster deal is reportedly worth $ 60 million, according to Variety, and is the biggest exclusive Spotify has ever done for a female-led show.
Alex Cooper’s podcast, which made headlines about former co-host Sofia Franklyn’s dramatic departure last year, will have all of the past episodes available on his new home as well as everything that comes next for it. the “Daddy Gang”.
Cooper, 26, concisely announced the major move and his next episode on the show’s Instagram on Tuesday with a message captioned “NEW SEASON. NEW HOUSE. NEW EPISODE. SEE UF – – KERS AT MIDNIGHT.
Spotify was also wasted little time enjoying the spoils of its victory.
“Call Her Daddy” was a Barstool production since 2018 and available on all streaming services. But in July, “all future episodes and additional new exclusive projects in development” will be owned by Spotify, the company said in a press release.
“From its inception three years ago, the show has always been about challenging the status quo and manifesting conversations that previously only took place behind closed doors,” Cooper said in a statement, adding that she would “continue to raise the bar with content and guests” on her new platform.
“Call Her Daddy” was also named the world’s fifth most popular podcast on Spotify in late 2020, shortly after the spinoff with Franklyn.
Drama between the hosts, along with Barstool’s David Portnoy, surrounded HBO Sports executive Peter “Suitman” Nelson, who was allegedly involved in business negotiations between the hosts and Barstool.
Cooper and Franklyn both wanted to get more out of their meteoric rise than Barstool offered, but ended up continuing as Nelson’s involvement would have ruined a potentially harmonious deal.
The duo stopped talking and Franklyn left the show to start her own podcast, “Sofia With an F,” leaving Cooper as the solo host for the past few months, a role she has literally taken to many roles. new financial heights.
