"I was fortunate to grow up in a household where it was normalised to speak your mind," she said, adding, "Playing sports and making videos in my basement, those were the two things I really loved," as per the outlet.

Cooper has had huge success in the podcasting space. She initially launched the advice and comedy podcast Call Her Daddy in 2018, alongside her then-co-host Sofia Franklyn, with Barstool Sports before signing a huge deal, thought to be worth around USD 60M, with Spotify in 2021.

The podcast exploded and became second only to The Joe Rogan Experience in the podcast charts before she moved to SiriusXM last year in a deal valued at around USD120 M, reported Deadline.

'Call Her Alex' will launch on June 10, following its June 8 debut at the Tribeca Festival.

Interesting to see how podcasting has become such a big industry abroad. In India, we're still catching up but shows the potential for content creators here too! Though ₹1000 crore deals seem unreal for us right now 😅

While her success is impressive, I wonder if such explicit content would work in Indian markets. Our cultural context is very different - but maybe that's why we need more Indian voices creating content for Indian audiences.

Love seeing women entrepreneurs making waves globally! 💪 Though I wish Indian women creators got similar recognition and deals. Our podcast scene is growing - hope to see more investment in homegrown talent soon!

The numbers are mind-blowing! $120M deal is more than many Bollywood stars make in their entire careers. Shows how digital content is overtaking traditional media. Maybe Indian platforms should take note and invest more in original audio content.

As someone who listens to Indian podcasts daily, I appreciate her journey but wish we had more relatable content here. Most Indian podcasts are either too academic or just Bollywood gossip. Need that middle ground she found abroad!
