On this week's episode, we’re diving deep into the cultural phenomenon that is Call Her Daddy. We revisit its early Barstool days, the infamous feud between hosts Alex Cooper and Sofia Franklyn, the multimillion-dollar Spotify deal that changed podcasting forever—and the ongoing debate: is Call Her Daddy empowering women, or simply rebranding patriarchy for clicks? Along the way, we unpack the show's complicated relationship to feminism, internet fame, and the commodification of female sexuality. Plus: the evolution of Alex Cooper from raunchy co-host to media mogul.
