Podcast Corner: Jamie Lynn Spears talks Britney; revisiting controversial Succession piece

Jamie Lynn has a two-part interview on Call Her Daddy, while a New Yorker writer chats about the furore caused by his piece on Jeremy Strong

Jeremy Strong and Jamie Lynn Spears.

Controversial is the word that has best described Call Her Daddy since it began in October 2018. Co-hosts Alex Cooper and Sofia Franklyn ‘putting a modern take on feminism’ with NSFW takes on all matters of sex - setting the templates for the likes of defunct Irish podcast It Galz.

US digital media company Barstool Sports snapped them up and the podcast surged, before a pay dispute in 2020 saw the feed fall silent. Barstool founder Dave Portnoy explained they “weren’t doing their jobs” (episode 81- ‘Daddy Speaks’), the co-hosts split, and eventually ‘single father’ Cooper brought the show exclusively to Spotify in a $60m-plus deal.
