Alex Cooper BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Alex Cooper has spent the past few days proving why she is the centerpiece of both the podcasting world and SiriusXM’s future plans. Multiple industry insiders tell RadarOnline that SiriusXM executives are grooming Cooper as their next megastar, even lining her up as the logical successor to none other than Howard Stern. While Stern, now 71, recently returned to his show amidst swirling contract rumors and made a point to downplay the tension, those inside SiriusXM say it's clear that Alex is the new priority. The proof is in the promotion she receives at every major event and the VIP treatment extended to her team. The network has even rolled out major new channels like Unwell Music and Unwell On Air anchored by her shows and affiliated creators, with insiders describing her latest $125 million, three-year deal as a stake in her being the face and future of SiriusXM.
Cooper is, of course, not just content with breaking records. She and her fiancé, Ace Entertainment CEO Matt Kaplan, have officially launched Trending, a new media company aimed at Gen Z audiences with ambitions to produce everything from scripted content and podcasts to live events and merch, as first reported by The Hollywood Reporter. The company will house her flagship Call Her Daddy podcast, which remains the No. 1 show for women on Spotify and commands a $60 million distribution deal. Cooper will oversee audience engagement and franchise development, while Kaplan handles the business engine. With Trending, she is positioning herself at the heart of culture and content innovation for a generation deeply skeptical of traditional media gatekeepers.
On the public-facing side, Alex’s confessional approach to interviews is still dominating culture headlines, most recently with her much-talked-about sit-down with Cardi B. Released September 24, this high-voltage episode saw Cardi dissect her own lyrics, discuss body image and jealousy in the music industry, and get candid about her new album and messy divorce—all spurred on by Cooper’s signature uninhibited style. Excerpts from this chat, like Cardi admitting she doesn't want to have sex to her own songs and her take on “super high sex drive” men, generated immediate buzz, with outlets from People to The Hype Magazine picking up the highlights.
Social media chatter continues to revolve around Cooper’s rise, from fans dissecting her interviews to influencers debating her new role as a corporate media mogul. Lists of the best podcasts for 2025 routinely place Call Her Daddy in the top tier, cementing her staying power in pop culture. While there is always online gossip around former partners like Sofia Franklyn, major headlines this week have all belonged to Alex — the boss, the interviewer, the visionary, and, as SiriusXM is betting, the next true queen of audio.
