Alex Cooper’s The Unwell Network Expands with New Podcast Acquisitions

The Unwell Network, founded by Alex Cooper, is set to acquire the podcasts Going West and Cheers!.

Launch of Going West

Upcoming Launch of Cheers!

Cheers! is scheduled to launch with Unwell on January 13. This lifestyle and culture podcast, hosted by Avery Woods, will include weekly guests and insights, with episodes released every Monday.

Strategic Podcast Acquisitions

This marks the first acquisition of existing podcasts for The Unwell Network, which already features popular titles like Hot Mess with Alix Earle and Pretty Lonesome with Madeline Argy. Both new shows will be accessible across all podcast platforms.

Leadership Insights

Rory Armstrong, Head of The Unwell Network, expressed enthusiasm about the new additions: “We are thrilled to welcome Going West and Cheers! to the Unwell family. These podcasts are a perfect fit for our network, hosted by creators dedicated to their craft and fostering meaningful discussions. Daphne, Heath, and Avery are true professionals, and we look forward to amplifying their voices and reaching larger audiences through The Unwell Network.”

Background of The Unwell Network

Launched in August 2023 as a subsidiary of the media company Trending, The Unwell Network was founded by Alex Cooper, known for her hit podcast Call Her Daddy, alongside her partner Matt Kaplan from ACE Entertainment.

Future Collaborations

In addition to the podcasts from Earle and Argy, the network signed TV personality Harry Jowsey in February 2024, who has launched his podcast Boyfriend Material with Harry Jowsey. The trio has been collaborating with Cooper to develop new projects for the network, alongside Owen Thiele, who introduced his podcast In Your Dreams, and Hallie Batchelder with her show Extra Dirty.

This partnership signifies an exciting new chapter for Going West, and we are eager to engage both new and existing listeners with captivating true crime stories that deserve attention.”
