'Call Her Daddy' Podcast Highlights Women's Locker-Room Talk

Alexandra Cooper and Sofia Franklyn
Produced by the controversial Web site Barstool Sports, “Call Her Daddy” has been a top-ten mainstay on the iTunes comedy chart since just two weeks after its October release. The podcast already has more than 10,000 reviews on iTunes after just 13 episodes, averaging 4.5 out of 5 stars.

“Barstool told us that rarely are there ever podcasts split 50/50 [between] male and female listeners, and that’s what we have,” 24-year-old Alexandra Cooper told The NYPost.

The idea for “Call Her Daddy” originated during a vacation at the South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas, in March, Cooper said. She and Franklyn were at a bar talking candidly about sex — and ­began to attract an audience.

“People came up to us and said ‘You need a show, because I would listen to this every day,’ ” Cooper recalled.

The women, who were introduced by a mutual friend, came back to New York and recorded their first podcast on their own, garnering a full-time job ­offer from Barstool.

The name “Call Her Daddy” refers to how they’re turning the tables on men and taking charge.

The co-hosts say there’s a distinct difference between what their male and female fans want to know.

Guys want to learn the best ways to pick up women, said Alexandra Cooper, 24.  “For girls, it’s how to talk dirty,” added 26-year-old Sofia Franklyn. “They overthink everything.”

Virtually nothing is off-limits for the two roommates (except Cooper’s former relationship with Mets pitcher Noah Syndergaard) on their weekly show — which spans the conversational gamut from sex acts to them listening to each other get it on from the next room.
