About this listen
It has been an enormous week for Alex Cooper whose name has dominated both entertainment headlines and business news. According to SiriusXM blog coverage as of August 13, Cooper continues to command her space as the global force behind the chart-topping podcast Call Her Daddy, having just hosted Kid Cudi in a high-profile interview touching on Diddy, Cassie, and the artist’s perspective on the music industry. In business developments, the Unwell Tour—part of her growing lifestyle and media brand Unwell Network—has been cited by creator industry analysts as a bellwether for how podcasting talent can drive lucrative live events, suggesting Cooper is successfully shifting from on-demand audio to live engagement and further bolstering her empire.
One of the major headlines comes courtesy of OutKick and The Sun, who report that Howard Stern is privately irked by Cooper’s extraordinary rise at SiriusXM. Her $125 million three-year deal and her unprecedented influence with younger audiences have reportedly reshaped SiriusXM’s internal power dynamics to the extent that executives purportedly work to keep Stern and Cooper from running into each other at headquarters. This marks a generational transformation, as Cooper is cast as the podcast world’s next-generation superstar replacing old-school radio legends, underscored by her recent interview with Kamala Harris, which beat Stern to the punch for the former VP’s attention.
Amid the professional highs, Alex Cooper is navigating deeply personal territory in the wake of her bombshell revelation at Tribeca Festival. In her Hulu documentary Call Her Alex, Cooper revealed she had endured sexual harassment by her Boston University soccer coach Nancy Feldman. At the film’s premier, Cooper shed tears as she detailed the emotional fallout from the abuse which she said changed her life and pushed her toward the podcasting world. She has indicated to Us Weekly that she is weighing her options and is determined to advocate for change within collegiate sports, reinforcing that this disclosure will be a lasting part of her legacy.
On the social media front, the feud between Alex Cooper and influencer Alix Earle continues to simmer. Cosmopolitan and TikTok watchers recently catalogued new barbs, with Earle hinting she knows “so much” about their business split after her Hot Mess podcast was dropped from Cooper’s Unwell Network earlier this year, though Cooper has remained diplomatically silent in public.
In less reverberating news, snarky threads on fringe social platforms have targeted her private life, but these posts are largely speculative or based on old rumors. Meanwhile, contact and fan engagement remains at a peak, with Unwell management handling requests for Cooper’s appearances, meet-and-greets, and opportunities as she tours and expands her brand.
Overall, Cooper’s week has intertwined heavy personal revelation, a growing business empire, and headline-making industry intrigue, anchoring her as one of podcasting and entertainment’s most discussed and consequential figures in 2025.
