A Brutally Honest Review Of Call Her Dad...

MAMAMIA PODCASTS
About this episode

Call Her Alex has landed on Disney+, offering a glossy, tightly curated look at the rise of podcast juggernaut Alex Cooper, but just how honest is the series really?

In this episode, we dive into how Alex's role in shaping the narrative we get to see as viewers. We also unpack her childhood and explore how she built one of the most influential media brands in the world, along with the unexpected role her husband plays in the empire.

Plus, we get into the moments that felt raw and revealing… and the ones that felt like they were left on the cutting room floor. Let’s just say, there’s a lot going on beneath the surface of Call Her Alex, and we get into it all.

Read the substack we explore about the lack of diversity among Call Her Daddy guests here.
