Alex Cooper BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
This week has been a whirlwind for Alex Cooper, who remains the most influential voice in podcasting and entertainment. The big headline everywhere from Variety to Forbes is her record-shattering multiyear agreement with SiriusXM, a deal reportedly worth up to $125 million that will officially launch in 2025, replacing Spotify as her home and granting SiriusXM exclusive rights for advertising, distribution, and events for her flagship Call Her Daddy podcast along with shows under her Unwell Network umbrella. The SiriusXM deal not only cements Alex’s place as the future of talk radio, but internal sources from Sirius tell RadarOnline and AOL Entertainment that she is being positioned as the successor to Howard Stern, with executives backing her as the next defining voice of the network.
On the business front, Alex continues to expand her empire. After last year’s launch of Unwell Hydration in partnership with Nestlé—a beverage line aimed specifically at women’s wellness now available at Target stores—she’s positioned herself at the intersection of media and consumer products with precision. Her media company Trending, and the Unwell Audio Network, co-founded with her husband Matt Kaplan, are signing some of Gen Z’s most influential creators for multiplatform projects, spotlighted in Variety and IMDB. Even Forbes recognized her as the highest-earning female creator on the 2025 Top-Earning Creators list, reporting $32 million in earnings for 2024.
Social media buzzed with coverage of Alex, not only for her business moves but recent viral moments. Her eyebrow-raising rendition of Take Me Out to the Ballgame at Wrigley Field made headlines for drawing boos, making her one of the few seventh inning performers to receive such a reaction—fans debated the incident endlessly on Twitter and Instagram, while trolls and defenders alike weighed in on TikTok. Alex has leaned into her polarizing status, embracing both the criticism and the defense, as seen in her quick-witted social media posts and podcast banter.
On the podcast itself, recent Call Her Daddy episodes featured headline-grabbing interviews—Cardi B spoke candidly about her divorce and body image, Kid Cudi opened up about fame and addiction, and female icons like Khloé Kardashian, Chelsea Handler, Ayesha Curry, and Lauren Graham joined Alex to talk about supporting other women and fighting societal lies—each episode trending on Twitter and climbing podcast charts.
Adding to her week’s drama was a viral TikTok conspiracy suggesting Alex forced an employee to change her email for marital reasons—she laughed off the theory, stating on social media she’s unfazed and absolutely unconcerned about her husband’s ex-wife, directly shutting down the rumors in interviews and stories picked up by AOL Entertainment.
Perhaps most biographically significant, Alex’s inclusion on Time Magazine’s inaugural TIME100 Creators list for 2025, celebrated as a “Leader,” signals her transition from celebrity podcaster to generational media architect—officially confirming what execs and fans have argued for months: Alex Cooper is not only the present but the future of audio and entertainment.
