I had to read the headline like ten damn times. And the description is still undecipherable to me.
I misinterpreted the word “shows” as a verb, instead of a noun. The subtitle is still word salad.
Who’s on first?
Agreed. Here’s my unsolicited rewrite
What Going on Call Her Daddy Did for Kamala Harris | Podcaster Alex Cooper reaches young, female Middle America in a way conventional news cannot.
Podcaster Alex Cooper reaches young, female Middle America in a way conventional news cannot.
I was trying to figure out why 1) Alice Cooper was considered a podcaster first, and 2) why he had appeal with that demographic.
Me neither, it’s like the writer and the editor had a stroke while writing this
The italics were lost in translation
What Going on Call Her Daddy Did for Kamala Harris
Without any indication its the title of something it’s impossible to know.
Can AI have a stroke?
There is another article which also shows signs of being written by AI… I pity who pays money to The Atlantic
What going with on the title?
Call Her Daddy: title of a podcast
Question: what did going on this podcast do for Harris?
Answer: allowed her to reach young women in middle America that conventional news sources would not.As a 30 year old Midwestern woman, that sounds about right. I know a fair number of women in their 20s who would gladly call vice president Harris “daddy”
Even if the journalist recommends a better title their editor will just optimize it to be the best clickbait it can be. Ambiguity probably drives clicks due to sheer curiosity.Such is reporting in the digital world.
These journalists really need to learn how to place commas.
Is being hard to interpret the point?
Journalists? Where?
Where would the comma go?
fr. 14 upvoters don’t understand commas either smh my head
Kamal should go on Chapo Trap House.
I don’t think young, female America is the demographic she should be trying to reach; they already overwhelmingly support her.
A lot of what campaigns do is try to fire up supporters so that they actually vote. Merely “supporting” without actually casting a ballot doesn’t help.
Have you seen voter turnout for the general population, much less younger demographics?
By “call her daddy”, do they mean that I am to contact her father, or am I to refer to her as daddy? 🤔
They’re referring to a podcast named Call her Daddy
Yes, that much I was able to surmise.
Worst name ever honestly. It sounds like a porncast…
I’m interested.
I’m not going to listen.
But I’m interested.
Yes but that doesn’t answer the question.
The only place I’ve heard of the relevance of “Call Her Daddy” has been in this weird, very recent, mainstream media circle jerk.
Less popular than the Hauk-Tuah Talk podcast by the more recent internet celebrity. And it fell off substantially after the Barstool Sports buyout of the pod causes the original hosts to split up.
Unless you’ve been in the podcasting scene for a while, I can’t say I’m surprised you’d never head of it. The show is dated and its been cloned a thousand times. If Kamala Harris truly wants to influence a large audience of young women viewers, she needs to go on Red Scare or the Adam Friedland Show.
Same. Never heard of it before. I did hear it mentioned on NPR earlier and they said that it’s most popular among young women in the south, so I guess that could be part of it.
I didn’t even think people still listened to podcasts.
I have a confession. I tagged you as an “idiot maybe” a few months ago, and it has been my private delight to be reminded at frequent intervals what a good judge of character I am. Thank you, sincerely.
I did not know that was a feature. Thanks, I’m tagging you as a genius maybe.
🧐 you’re gonna laugh your ass off, hanging around here
In his case the username is all I need, they’re a tropical ding dong. Although I do hope their tropical isn’t the one that’s about to get their teeth kicked in by another hurricane.
Omg, I have them tagged as, “believes they’re the center of the universe” 😂
The tagging system is great.
What app are you using that has tags? That sound very useful
I’ve been using Boost
Miss me with that horseshit, thanks
It’s nice to get to know people. I’m always pleased to reassess a negative tag.
Truly curious: do you fit the description of a young, female, middle American?
No, and I don’t watch the Joe Rogan podcast either, but I do know about. I don’t watch The View, but I do know about it. I also don’t watch Fox News, but I know about. There are all kinds of things that I’m not the target demographic for, that I do know about. Its totally fair that I’m not the target demo, but like, I’ve literally never heard of this podcast before this news cycle.
I also just asked a Floridian, 28, female, registered to vote.
She said she only goes on TicToc and Instagram and that podcasts are for boomers (I am not a boomer).
🤷
It’s a top-5 podcast in terms of popularity, and probably literally the most popular podcast among women. It was, for a time, the #2 podcast after Rogan’s.
Spotify paid $60 million to make Call Her Daddy a Spotify exclusive for 2 years, and last year SiriusXM paid $125 million for the ad/distribution rights for 3 years.
It’s a heavy hitter in the podcast space, by pretty much every metric.
Yeah I checked out the page on yt. In terms of view count there it would be a mid tier podcast.
So your market research has been to ask two women who don’t listen to podcasts, and then look at the view counts on a video platform not primarily used for audio podcasts. Real solid methodology there.
Just, like, look at any of the podcast metrics ranking podcasts by listens or subscribers from the US: #2 on Apple, #5 on Spotify, #4 on Edison’s charts.
I gotta agree with the op though - all the noise about podcasts and Spotify trying to control that media was a couple years ago. Who knew it’s still a thing. For myself, I’m just annoyed at Spotify trying to push non-music in my music streaming. My own limited experience includes my teens who wouldn’t be caught listening to “old people stuff”
all the noise about podcasts and Spotify trying to control that media was a couple years ago
The $125 million SiriusXM deal to bring it back out of Spotify exclusive was less than 2 months ago.
Like, I get if you’re not the target audience, because I’m not either, but it’s strange to try to argue that it isn’t a huge audience or a heavy hitter in the podcasting space.
Folks like Brian Taylor Cohen, Cody Johnston, and Dan Toomey all seem to have much wider reach with younger people.
Yeah I mean BTC is massive compared the numbers I’m seeing out up here.
comments here very interesting to me, I don’t listen to hardly any podcasts - maybe a dozen episodes in the last 5 years - and I knew about this podcast.
Interesting. Where did you hear about it?
Mostly social media, I am friends / mutual follows with a bunch of C-list/D-list actors and comedians.
