Kamala Harris continues her podcast tour with a surprise appearance on Call Her Daddy airing next week.
The vice president, who has come under intense criticism for her lack of interviews, follows her appearance on the NBA-themed show All The Smoke with an appearance on Alex Cooper’s popular talk show.
Harris’ spokesperson says the interview, which will be released next week, was recorded with Cooper on Tuesday and delves into the vice president’s stance on abortion rights.
The campaign added that Harris will speak to the “cultural phenomenon” – who landed Cooper a $125 million contract with SiriusXM – about other issues important to women before the election.
The interview is the latest in a series of appearances in less traditional media by the vice president as she prepares her candidacy for the White House.

The vice president sat down with former basketball players Stephen Jackson and Matt Barnes for a special episode of their ‘All the Smoke’ podcast in a wide-ranging interview that lasted approximately 45 minutes.
The podcast hosts use their platform to discuss the latest news both on and off the basketball court.
During the episode released on Monday, the three discussed Harris’ allegiance to the Golden State Warriors, but also branched out to address a number of other topics, from politics to her family and family.social identity.
It comes as Harris faces criticism for largely avoiding difficult interviews with journalists who would grill her on the issues, instead opting to appear on friendlier platforms as she works to reach voters across the country.
The vice president has gone more than seventy days without holding a solo press conference since first becoming the presumptive and then official Democratic presidential candidate.
Even as the New York Times editorial board endorsed Harris for president on Monday, it criticized her approach to the media and what appeared to be an effort to avoid unforced errors.
However, Call Her Daddy has become a hot spot for some of the world’s most famous women (and men) to share their stories.
Cooper, who grew up in Newtown, Pennsylvania, launched Call Her Daddy in 2018 with her roommate, Sofia Franklyn, after graduating from the College of Communication.
