Alex Cooper’s documentary details fallouts and teenage years – here’s how to watch
The ‘Call Her Daddy’ host reveals a shocking revelation about her university years
The phenomenally popular podcast host Alex Cooper is taking fans behind the scenes in her two-part documentary, Call Her Alex.
The Call Her Daddy podcast is downloaded around five million times each week, with Cooper interviewing the likes of Kamala Harris, Jane Goodall, Miley Cyrus, Hailey Bieber and Chappell Roan.
Among the highest-paid female podcasters, Cooper is as much a businesswoman as a host. She launched the beverage company Unwell Hydration in 2024 and also has a podcast network called The Unwell Network (home to Madeline Argy and Hallie Batchelder’s podcasts).
The documentary takes us back to her awkward teenage years and reveals why she wanted to go ahead with a solo venture (she used to co-host the podcast with Sofia Franklyn). Here’s everything you need to know about Call Her Alex, plus where to watch.

What is Call Her Alex about?
The two-part documentary began filming two years ago as Alex Cooper prepared for her first tour. Delving into her upbringing in Pennsylvania and experience as a D1 soccer player, the series explores her experience in the Boston University field. In the series, Cooper accuses her former coach of sexual harassment and claims the Boston University athletics officials failed to act on the knowledge.
Call Her Alex also recounts her rise to fame with the Call Me Daddy podcast. Originally one half of a duo, Cooper went solo behind the mic in 2020 and signed a $60m deal with Spotify. From getting celebrity scoops to balancing the high and low topics (from sexual encounters to abortion rights), the series takes us behind the scenes of the media mogul.
