“This is not the 1950s anymore,” said Vice President Kamala Harris, dismissing those critical of her for not having biological children. But that comment, from her recent interview with the popular “Call Her Daddy” podcast, could have easily described the ever-evolving state of journalism.

“Call Her Daddy” was the second most listened to podcast on Spotify last year and the fifth most listened to podcast among U.S. women. Each week, millions of fans tune in for talk about relationships, sex, mental health and other popular topics. The choice for the Democratic presidential nominee to go on a platform with such a large female audience makes sense.

"At the end of the day, I couldn't see a world in which one of the main conversations in this election is women, and I'm not a part of it," explained Alex Cooper, host and cocreator of the podcast. "I'm so aware I have a very mixed audience when it comes to politics, so please hear me when I say my goal today is not to change your political affiliation."

The discussion between Harris and Cooper erred on the tamer side of the podcast’s more raunchy subject matter. Most of their conversation was spent speaking about issues that impact women, like abortion and sexual violence.
