Bobbi Althoff announces rebrand of podcast following hiatus
Remember to take everything Bobbi Althoff, the comedian podcaster known for producing awkward interviews, says with a pinch of salt, though.
The podcaster announced the return of her popular podcast The Really Good Podcast for a second season today. Her first season regularly went viral, including a highly-talked-about deleted episode with Drake.
In her announcement, Bobbi Althoff talked of a rebrand of her podcast, joking that she required it thanks to the end of her 15 minutes looming.
Bobbi Althoff announced her rebrand for her second season
Althoff made the announcement for her upcoming podcast season in a YouTube video shared today, January 17. The video documented the behind-the-scenes from a cheerleader-themed photoshoot for the new season.
The podcaster explained in the caption that she was returning after taking a break from a quick and unexpected rise in podcasting. Althoffs last posts were at the end of December and all related to the final episode of her first season. Admittedly, a very short break for Althoff.
As with most of Althoffs public posts, there was a large hit of self-deprecating jokes as she referred to her dying-out 15 minutes of fame. She joked that her 15 minutes had dwindled when she stopped posting on social media following the final episode. This, she explained, calls for a rebrand.
I was like, What do I do because I have a lot of money now, she joked, before explaining that she was pumping a lot of money into the new season. The podcasts second season will feature new concepts while interviewing celebrity guests.
How Althoff rose to podcast fame
Despite Althoff claiming her 15 minutes has begun to die out, her rise to fame was an interesting one that happened incredibly suddenly.
Althoff initially gained online attention as a mom influencer, sharing videos with her two children. It wasnt long however until followers became fans of her personality alone, with comedic and deadpan videos, instead of her mom life.
In February of 2023, Althoff announced the start of her podcast. She took on interviewing rappers, inhabiting a purposefully awkward style that birthed a truly love/hate relationship with the internet.
That interview with Drake
Bobbi Althoff might be most known for her podcast episode featuring Drake. The podcaster claimed that she slid into Drakes DMs to organize the podcast episode and was successful. It was filmed directly from Drakes bed where they both chatted while he sipped on a cocktail.
Despite the interview seeming to go swimmingly, it was mysteriously deleted from the channel not long after. Both Althoff and Drake unfollowed each other on Instagram
Neither spoke about what happened, but Althoff denied rumors that they had hooped up.
