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.

Friedman, Sow, and Delvac were driven to create the show to specifically "deliver more female-friendly content"[9] in a very male-dominated podcasting space.

Delvac has talked about her role as a producer, jumping in to give context or bring the conversation back on track, as the art form of maintaining just the right amount casual vibes to feel authentic while remaining on topic.

"[9] Initially the podcast featured the two friends recording casual phone conversations of them catching up, allowing listeners to eavesdrop on their thoughts about politics and pop culture.

Sow and Friedman would each arrive to their recording sessions (taking place in their closets) with a short list of personal topics, pop culture and news events share with each other.

[11][9] Friedman has said that she "never expected that the project would turn into a live touring series, a platform for interviews with guests including Hillary Clinton, Gloria Steinem, and Stacey Abrams" and eventually a book deal.

[12] Despite the initial casual approach, the show quickly built a large audience and the three friends became business partners, co-owning Call Your Girlfriend LLC, which allowed them to sustain the podcast and remain independent throughout.

"[17] Friedman has described the intention behind giving female friendship space on the podcast,There needs to be more popular media featuring women’s conversations with each other about things that are not their relationships with men.
