Alex Cooper, host of “Call Her Daddy," is one of the highest-paid podcast hosts, and her show is platformed on SiriusXM. Getty ImagesThree of the 20 highest-paid podcasters are on SiriusXM, according to the new Forbes list of The Highest-Paid Podcasters Of 2026. The list includes SmartLess’s Will Arnett, Jason Bateman and Sean Hayes; motivational speaker Mel Robbins; and Call Her Daddy’s Alex Cooper, all of whom have signed with the satellite service within the past two years for at least $32 million. It follows, then, that these are three of the most successful podcasters at pulling in listeners and stoking subscriptions because companies as big as SiriusXM won’t pay for nothing. Instead, they went with SiriusXM, which has seen a recent small resurgence in subscribers that also reflects its historically low churn rates.
