Should Christians listen to Call Her Daddy? Alex Cooper's podcast is one of the highest-earning in the world, signing a $125M deal with SiriusXM. Here is the complete Christian assessment of its sexual ethics framework and formation concerns.
Call Her Daddy is a podcast originally launched in 2018 by Alex Cooper and Sofia Franklyn, now hosted solo by Cooper following a public falling-out between the co-hosts. It became one of the most-listened-to podcasts in America, was acquired by Spotify in a reported $60M deal, and Cooper subsequently signed a reported $125M deal with SiriusXM in 2023 — making her one of the highest-paid podcast hosts in the world. The show conducts celebrity interviews, discusses dating and relationships, and provides frank discussion of sexual activity, relationships, and personal life in a format aimed primarily at young women ages 18-35.
Call Her Daddy's explicit content — detailed discussion of sexual activity, hookup strategy, and sexual relationships — is its primary product. The show is not incidentally sexual; its entire brand identity is built on frank, unapologetic discussion of sexual content and a worldview that explicitly celebrates sexual freedom as liberation and female sexual agency as empowerment. This framework is not presented as one lifestyle among many but as the enlightened alternative to traditional sexual ethics.
The specific biblical concerns: 1 Corinthians 6:18-20 — "Flee from sexual immorality... your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit." Call Her Daddy's framework treats the body as an instrument of personal pleasure and social power — explicitly the opposite of 1 Corinthians 6's framework of the body as God's temple, bought with a price. 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5 — "This is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality; that each of you know how to control his own body in holiness and honor, not in the passion of lust." The podcast actively cultivates the "passion of lust" 1 Thessalonians identifies as contrary to sanctification.
The specific concern for Christian young women is not merely that the content is explicit but that Call Her Daddy provides a coherent and compelling alternative sexual ethics framework — one that positions biblical sexual ethics as repressive, unsophisticated, or harmful to women. Long-term podcast listening is formation. A young Christian woman who listens to Call Her Daddy regularly is being formed in a framework for thinking about her body, relationships, and sexuality that is systematically contrary to Scripture. This is a different concern from watching an explicit movie — the podcast format involves ongoing relationship and identity formation, not one-time exposure.
