An Instagram post gets an unexpected boost.

A TikTok catches in the algorithm.

Sometimes that's all it takes to launch someone into internet fame.

But then what?

This blew up is a new podcast documentary that reveals how social media stardom is made.

It's a different kind of fame.

That's not always as glamorous as it looks.

From Spotify and the Ringer Podcast Network, I'm Alyssa Boresneck.

You can listen to this blew up on Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.

Hello and welcome to You're Doing Amazing, sweetie, a Kardashians recap show for episode nine.

My name is Amelia Wedemeyer.

And as always, every week I am joined by my wonderful co-host, Zach. Peter, Zach, how are you doing?

I'm doing amazing, sweetie. We're finally like rearing the end of this season.

Mm-hmm. It's wild. We're almost there. We were just talking off Mike. It's unbelievable, yet

so believable at the same time because it's, it feels, it does not feel like 10

weeks. However, some of these episodes have felt like years, maybe? They were so slow. The storylines

were just so slow and they just dragged on and Chloe's anxiety, Chris's hip. It was a lot. It was a lot. It was a lot.

And finally, or maybe not. We don't know. We'll discuss that later. But let's do some top of

the pod, Kardashians news. First little tidbit is that Travis Barker, Courtney's husband, turned 47, and it looks like

there was a birthday.

There was some kind of excitement around his birthday because that's what birthdays are.

I'm sorry.
