She went from sharing TikTok clips of her podcast to gaining millions of followers—fast. Her secret? Interviewing celebrities in a way that feels more like anti-interviews rather than polished PR moments.

How Did Bobbi Althoff Get Famous?
Bobbi Althoff first became famous on social media with her parenting content. However, she went from a few million views on TikTok to a few million regular podcast listeners. And what, you might be wondering, was responsible for launching her to fame? It was none other than when Althoff interviewed Drake on “The Really Good Podcast.”
This wasn’t just any interview. Bobbi slid into Drake’s DMs and asked for an interview. He said yes, so she flew to Memphis on July 4, 2023, to film the episode. Where did they film it? Well, you probably already know. But, in case you don’t know—it was filmed in Drake’s bed. This is when people really fell in love with Bobbi and her deadpan, awkward, and refreshingly unpolished interview style.
Before the interview was mysteriously removed, it had amassed over 10 million views on her YouTube Channel. Plus, many moments from the interview were clipped, memed, and shared across all platforms. It was truly a pop culture moment!
However, in typical Bobbi Althoff fashion, her podcast didn’t fizzle away after the buzz from the Drake interview died down. She kept pumping out engaging (and hilarious) episodes week after week, proving she’s the absolute queen of content.
When Lauryn and Michael interviewed her on “The Him & Her Show,” Bobbi opened up about her rise to fame. Check out where she shares her top strategies for going viral on social media and where she dives into the world of successful podcasting.
