The Swedish company will exclusively stream
'Call Her Daddy' starting July 21, including all back catalogue
full-length episodes, future episodes and additional exclusive
new projects in development, Spotify said in statement, without
disclosing any financial details of the deal.
The three-year old raunchy talk show grew popular with a younger
female audience on candid conversations about sex and
relationships, with fans referring to themselves as 'The Daddy
Gang'. It is also the fifth-most-popular streamed podcast
globally on Spotify.
Cooper, 26, formerly hosted 'Call Her Daddy' with her best
friend Sofia Frankyln. But a public spat over contractual
disputes with the podcast's current owner sports and pop-culture
focused digital media firm Barstool Sports led to Franklyn
leaving the show to start her own independent podcast.
Spotify has been boosting its podcast muscle by spending more
than $500 million in buying podcast networks Gimlet and Anchor,
and podcast advertising company Megaphone.
Spotify declined to comment on financial details, but the Wall
Street Journal had reported https://on.wsj.com/3cHauQV on June
11 that the agreement could top $20 million, citing people
familiar with the matter.
