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.
  
  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?
- 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.
- Who's on first?
The only place I've heard of the relevance of "Call Her Daddy" has been in this weird, very recent, mainstream media circle jerk.
- 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.
- 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).
  
  🤷
- 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?
- 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.
- 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.
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.
  
  These journalists really need to learn how to place commas.
  
  Is being hard to interpret the point?
  
  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”
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.
  
  Worst name ever honestly. It sounds like a porncast..
  
  Yes, that much I was able to surmise.

Kamal should go on Chapo Trap House.
