I had to read the headline like ten damn times. And the description is still undecipherable to me.

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.

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 it's the title of something it is 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
I was trying to figure out why 1) Alice Cooper was considered a podcaster first, and 2) why he had appeal with that demographic.
I misinterpreted the word “shows” as a verb, instead of a noun. The subtitle is still word salad.

The only place I've heard of the relevance of "Call Her Daddy" has been in this weird, very recent, mainstream media circle jerk.
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.
That makes sense. People very tuned into and aware of the space.
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.

Truly curious: do you fit the description of a young, female, middle American?
No. However, I don't watch the Joe Rogan podcast either, but I do know about it (its general outlook/ politics). I don't watch The View, but I do know about it (its general outlook/ politics). 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. Ma
I asked two women in their late 20's early 30s if they knew about it. Both said no.
The younger one said she said she only doesn't and 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.

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.

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.
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.
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”
These journalists really need to learn how to place commas.
Is being hard to interpret the point?
Where would the comma go?
fr. 14 upvoters don't understand commas either smh my head
Journalists? Where?
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 but that doesn’t answer the question.
Yes, that much I was able to surmise.
