ABOUT US

Call Your Girlfriend was a podcast for long-distance besties everywhere co-hosted by Aminatou Sow and Ann Friedman, and executive produced by Gina Delvac. Every week, Aminatou and Ann called each other to discuss the intricacies of pop culture and the latest in politics. From 2014 to 222, we built an audience of hundreds of thousands of listeners per episode. The show highlighted women who are agents, creators, movers, and shakers who have smart, interesting things to say. It also showcased the lived experiences of non-famous women who are just trying to get through the week. CYG was here for every facet of women’s humanity. After eight years of fully independent production, we decided to stop producing new episodes in February 2022.
