The Call Her Daddy podcast host and her fiancé are teaming up on a Gen Z-focused media company. Alex Cooper, the creator, host, and executive producer of the $60M Spotify podcast, is going into business with her life and now business partner, Matt Kaplan—the founder and CEO of ACE Entertainment and producer of Netflix’s XO, Kitty and the To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before movies. The company, Trending, is planning to be a Gen Z media venture “committed to elevating today’s voices and crafting tomorrow’s stories for an independent, resourceful and inclusive generation.” The founders are set to produce podcasts and other digital media as well as touring events that target young audiences. YPulse’s TV and Entertainment Data Report shows that podcasts are a staple for Gen Z and Millennials: 62% of 13-39-year-olds currently listen to podcasts. (Variety)
