Call Your Girlfriend is a conversation and interview-style podcast co-hosted by journalist Ann Friedman and digital strategist Aminatou Sou, two friends living on opposite coasts of the US. The podcast was described as a cultural phenomenon where the hosts discussed feminism, politics and pop culture, ranging from the very serious (police abolition or abortion rights) to reality TV (Kardashians and Love is Blind).[1][2]
Started in 2014, the show became popular long before the media form of podcasting grew to its current scale and mainstream interest.[3] In 2017 alone, the podcast had 6.1 million downloads and a live tour with sold-out shows in New York, Washington, San Francisco and Boston. The co-hosts also co-wrote a book, Big Friendship, published in 2020.[4] The podcast posted its final episode on February 10, 2022.[5]
