This deal marks a significant shift in the podcasting landscape. SiriusXM's acquisition of exclusive rights to "Call Her Daddy" and the Unwell Network's roster is a strategic move to capture the lucrative Gen Z and millennial audience. The agreement's
The exclusive advertising and distribution rights could potentially boost SiriusXM's revenue significantly, given the podcast's massive following. This deal also strengthens SiriusXM's position in the competitive podcast market, potentially increasing its market share and attracting more high-profile content creators.
However, the delayed start date (2025) for exclusive content might limit immediate financial impact. Investors should monitor how this affects SiriusXM's subscriber growth and ad revenue in the coming years.
This deal represents a strategic investment for SiriusXM, potentially driving long-term growth in its podcasting segment. The exclusive ad sales rights to Unwell Network's entire roster could significantly boost ad revenue, especially given the network's popularity among younger demographics.
However, the financial terms of the deal aren't disclosed, making it challenging to assess its immediate impact on SiriusXM's bottom line. Investors should watch for:
- Changes in SiriusXM's subscriber numbers and average revenue per user (ARPU)
- Growth in advertising revenue from podcast operations
- Any significant CAPEX related to content development or technology infrastructure
The deal's full potential may not be realized until 2025, suggesting a long-term growth strategy rather than immediate financial gains.
This partnership is a strategic coup for SiriusXM in the highly competitive podcast market. By securing Alex Cooper and the Unwell Network, SiriusXM gains access to a coveted demographic - Gen Z and millennials - who are notoriously difficult to capture through traditional media channels.
The deal could potentially reshape listener habits, driving more young users to SiriusXM's platform. This aligns with broader industry trends of content exclusivity and platform consolidation. However, success will depend on:
- SiriusXM's ability to retain and grow "Call Her Daddy's" existing audience
- Effective cross-promotion of other SiriusXM content to this new audience
- The quality and appeal of the exclusive content developed for 2025 and beyond
Competitors may need to reassess their strategies in response to this move, potentially leading to further industry consolidation or bidding wars for top podcast talent.

"The Daddy Gang will always be my top priority, and with SiriusXM we will continue to find new ways to evolve and provide my listeners the best experience. The Daddy Gang wants more, so we're getting ready to give them more…I can't wait for this new chapter to begin."
"Alex's fearless, unfiltered approach, where no topic is off the table, has created a passionate and dedicated fanbase that is unmatched in podcasting and perfectly aligns with the content that SiriusXM subscribers have come to love and expect from us," said Scott Greenstein, President, and Chief Content Officer at SiriusXM.

Since its launch in 2018, "Call Her Daddy" has amassed a massive following, evolving into a cultural phenomenon and global movement, consistently ranking as one of the most-listened-to podcasts worldwide. Hailed by TIME Magazine as "arguably the most successful woman in podcasting," Cooper began to blaze a path through the podcasting medium that had never existed before: a space where women were encouraged, empowered, and emboldened to share their unapologetic stories and truths. "Call Her Daddy" has attracted millions of listeners per episode, earning its place as the number one podcast for women on Spotify globally.
As the most listened-to female podcaster in the world, Alex has evolved as "Gen Z's Barbara Walters," according to Rolling Stone, and continues to break all boundaries by shattering stigmas and stomping on misogyny, all while keeping mental health and personal empowerment at the forefront. Her thought-provoking conversations are meticulously designed to explore wide-ranging topics such as life experiences, culture, health, relationships, and more, through her lens of comedy and extreme candor. To the millions of devoted Gen-Z and millennial listeners coined "The Daddy Gang," the "Call Her Daddy" brand represents a new set of values and standards, with many quotes and phrases permeating pop-culture vernacular. Recent Call Her Daddy guests include Jane Fonda, Post Malone, Gwyneth Paltrow, Hailey Bieber, Miley Cyrus, Zayn, Janelle Monáe, Kim Petras, Shay Mitchell, Christina Aguilera, John Mayer, Brazilian pop superstar Anitta, Madison Beer, Lil Dicky, John Legend, Rebel Wilson, Adam Devine, and Chelsea Handler, among others.
Most recently, Cooper launched media company, Trending, and its subsidiary Unwell Audio Network, LLC, alongside her husband and business partner Matt Kaplan of Ace Entertainment. This media venture will elevate the voices and stories of Gen Z. Unwell Network's initial talent signings include top creators and influencers who will work with Cooper and the Unwell team to develop a variety of multiplatform concepts and projects.
Unwell Network joins the unparalleled lineup of podcasts and media companies represented exclusively by SiriusXM Media, including SmartLess Media and its hit show "SmartLess" with Will Arnett, Jason Bateman, and Sean Hayes; Ashley Flowers' audiochuck and its chart-topping "Crime Junkie;" Crooked Media and its flagship "Pod Save America;" and many more, in addition to SiriusXM's own award-winning shows such as "Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend" and the complete Team Coco roster, "
