Alex Cooper's hit podcast "Call Her Daddy" and other shows from her Unwell Network are moving their video content from Spotify exclusively to YouTube, while audio versions remain available across all platforms. This shift follows SiriusXM's acquisition of Cooper's podcast network for up to $125 million.

Cooper announced the change via Instagram Story, promoting free access to video episodes on YouTube. The transition affects all shows under her Unwell Network, including "Hot Mess with Alix Earle" and "Pretty Lonesome with Madeline Argy."

This move represents a significant shift in the podcast landscape, as Cooper's show consistently ranks second only to Joe Rogan's podcast. While Spotify previously held exclusive rights to the video content after a $60 million deal in 2021, SiriusXM's larger investment signals their commitment to expanding their podcast presence.

"I am beyond excited to work with SiriusXM," Cooper stated during the deal announcement. "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 transition to YouTube is expected to broaden the show's reach while allowing SiriusXM to maximize ad revenue. This strategic move comes as Spotify shifts its focus toward video content with reduced advertising, while SiriusXM aims to capitalize on Cooper's massive following and expand its digital footprint.
