Since starting her content creator journey, Althoff has succeeded in amassing over six million dedicated followers on TikTok and earning a subscriber base exceeding 800,000 on YouTube. But the transition from motherhood-centric content to interviewing globally celebrated rap sensation Drake prompts the question: how did she do it?

Behind “The Really Good Podcast”

Bobbi introduced her podcast, humorously titled “The Really Good Podcast,” in April 2023.

Given her pre-established following and fanbase nurtured through her mom vlogger content, this step came as a natural progression, as is the case for many influencers. Remarkably, Althoff recently shared her long-standing dream of hosting a podcast, saying, “I’ve always dreamt of hosting my own podcast… So, I filmed a pilot episode…”

The star continued, “I encountered skepticism from everyone I shared it with; they deemed it subpar, expressing doubts about my capacity to secure celebrity guests or attract an audience. However, I defied expectations… It garnered a mere six views, yet my renowned neighbor consented to participate in an episode… Never abandon your dreams.”

The Celebrity Guests

One of the most astonishing aspects of ‘The Really Good Podcast’ is the caliber of guests that Althoff manages to enlist. In an interview with TODAY, Althoff shared that Drake actually followed her for a while and was a fan of the podcast before his now infamous appearance.

Nonetheless, a recent rift between Drake and Bobbi has surfaced, marked by her unfollowing him on Instagram and the deletion of their podcast episode. Fans have numerous theories that surround the cause, with one hypothesis hinting at a possible romantic entanglement, while the main theory alleges that Drake simply played copyrighted music during the interview, leading to its removal.
