Famous Podcaster Slammed Over Interview with Kamala Harris

Alex Cooper, the host of the immensely popular Call Her Daddy podcast, is facing major backlash from her fanbase following a recent interview with Vice President Kamala Harris. Known for her open and often provocative conversations on topics like relationships and female empowerment, Cooper’s podcast took a political turn with Harris as her guest, and many fans were not pleased.

Fans expressed outrage on social media, accusing Cooper of promoting political propaganda in favor of the Democratic Party. Regular listeners voiced frustration that the interview appeared to avoid tough, pressing topics—like illegal immigration or the government’s response to Hurricane Helene—and instead featured Harris discussing her campaign talking points in a comfortable, softball interview environment.

One furious fan commented on Instagram, “One of my most favorite podcasts and now I’ll never listen again. Unbelievable,” while another wrote, “DONE, this was my fav podcast. I’m 100% disgusted.” Several others mentioned they were upset that Cooper didn’t push Harris on key issues like the hurricane relief efforts, with one remarking, “Did you discuss the plan for getting all the bodies that got swept into the trees and along the riverbanks in NC during the taping of this podcast?”

While some listeners praised Cooper for landing a major political figure on her show—Call Her Daddy currently ranks second only to Joe Rogan’s podcast in the U.S.—many were left wondering why Harris opted for a conversation with Cooper rather than a traditional media outlet where she might face tougher questions.

Despite the criticism, Cooper had her share of defenders as well. One supportive fan wrote, “For those angry about this, missed the whole point. It’s about women and as an interviewer, you interview all walks of life and people. She nailed it and is not telling anyone how to vote.”

But the negative sentiment remains strong, with some wondering if Cooper’s foray into politics may cost her some loyal listeners: “Damn, Call Her Daddy about to be canceled,” wrote one disgruntled fan. As the podcast community continues to debate the interview, one thing is clear—this episode has sparked a wave of controversy that’s far from over.
