Alex Clark (commentator)

Alexandra Clark (born February 23, 1993) is an American media personality and podcast host associated with Turning Point USA. She hosts ''POPlitics'' and ''Culture Apothecary'', podcasts that cover conservative commentary, pop culture, and wellness topics.

Early life

Clark grew up in Floyd County, Indiana and graduated from Floyd Central High School. She wanted to work in fashion journalism with a goal of working at ''Teen Vogue''.

Career

Radio career

After completing high school, she attended Ivy Tech Community College and took an internship at WXMA-FM, a pop radio station in Louisville, Kentucky. After an audition, Clark then became a traffic reporter for rival station WDJX in 2012 and eventually became midday host. In 2016, Clark left WDJX to become co-host of the ''Joe & Alex'' morning show on WNOW in Indianapolis.

Podcasting career

Clark began her career in conservative media in 2019 as the host of ''POPlitics'', a show produced by Turning Point USA. The show combines celebrity culture with conservative commentary. Through ''POPlitics'', she cultivated a following she referred to as "Cuteservatives."

In 2020, Clark expanded her media presence with a second podcast, ''The Spillover'', through which she began discussing health and wellness topics, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. In September 2024, Clark relaunched her podcast calling it ''Culture Apothecary'' which since then has regularly ranked in the top 10 of health and wellness pod-casts on Apple and Spotify. Her new show got a boost when she was invited by Senator Ron Johnson to speak at a Senate roundtable on health and nutrition. At the round table she discussed chronic disease prevention as well as her disapproval for childhood vaccines stating “We did not sign up to coparent with the government, we want a divorce!”

In an interview with Vanity Fair, Clark stated that "I try to make almost every episode nonpartisan."

Clark has been vocal about her stance on hormonal birth control, which she has criticized in her podcasts and social media posts. She has encouraged young women to question its widespread use, emphasizing awareness of potential side effects. While she acknowledges that birth control can be beneficial in specific cases, Clark argues against its default prescription, citing health concerns. Her position aligns with a broader conservative push questioning mainstream medical practices, a stance that has drawn both significant support and criticism from medical professionals and advocates. According to Media Matters for America (MMA), she has described it as "poison" and suggested it poses numerous health risks. MMA has labeled her claims as misinformation, countering that medical consensus does not support such negative generalizations.

In addition to her wellness commentary, Clark has maintained her connection with conservative political circles. She has served as a host and speaker at Turning Point USA's Young Women's Leadership Summit and participated in the "Make America Healthy Again" (MAHA) initiative, which emerged in alignment with the broader MAGA movement.
