LOUISVILLE, Ky. — As if the guest list for the 150th Kentucky Derby couldn't get any better, two more big names just got added to the list.
Calling all Daddy Gang members -- the #1 female podcaster in the world and creator, host, and executive producer of Call Her Daddy, Alex Cooper, will be joined alongside her friend and host of the popular Hot Mess podcast, Alix Earle, to bring fans an enhanced race day experience.
Churchill Downs racetrack announced a partnership with The Unwell Network, established by Cooper and her husband, that will add a fresh take to the Derby.
Cooper and Earle will be in the Infield from 10:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. to have a discussion and special Q+A about their Derby experience.
The dynamic duo will share personal anecdotes about their Derby fashion choices, discuss their thoughts on classic Kentucky food and beverages and give an inside look into how they prepared for the Derby. Officials said they will also be doing giveaways and offering fans photo opportunities.
“I’m so excited to be part of the Kentucky Derby’s milestone anniversary and bring this incredible and exciting tradition to The Unwell Network’s audience,” Cooper said. “It’s been on my bucket-list for years and I’m counting down the days until I can experience the Derby fashion up close, drink all the mint juleps, and see which horse takes home the trophy. I can’t wait to meet everyone in the infield as we experience this together!”
“Since the Kentucky Derby is one of the only American sporting events that captures majority female viewership and attendance, it is incredibly fitting to partner with the most trailblazing women in modern media today to celebrate the historic 150th Kentucky Derby,” Casey Ramage, vice president of marketing and partnerships, said. “We’re thrilled for our fans to meet Alex and Alix, along with their other UNWELL friends, who embody the energetic and unbridled spirit of the Derby. We’re always excited to introduce a new generation of fans to our rich Derby traditions, and The Unwell Network is the ideal partner to capture an emerging audience and illustrate the cultural spectacle of food, fashion, and entertainment, which is the Kentucky Derby.”
