Kapuso actress Bianca Umali is celebrating early success as her new podcast, Simply, B, hits major Spotify milestones just three episodes after its launch.
Just three episodes in, Bianca Umali's new podcast, Simply, B, is already making waves, climbing Spotify's charts and turning a personal project into a booming community.
Among these achievements is cracking Spotify's Top Podcasts chart, where it initially landed in the Top 10.
Expressing her gratitude, Bianca shared how touching it is to see what began as a personal outlet grow into a supportive listener base.
“My heart is so full. What started as a personal diary has grown into a community I am so incredibly proud of,” Bianca wrote.
“Thank you for holding my hand through these stories and for proving that when we share our authentic selves, we are never truly alone. This milestone is ours.”
On August 15, the actress revealed that the podcast had climbed even higher, securing the No. 7 spot.
“We are moving up! From Top 10 straight to Top 7,” Bianca posted. “Thank you for continuing to stream and for making our little safe space one of Spotify's Top Podcasts. I am so deeply grateful to share these incredible moments with all of you.”
Additionally, the podcast's debut episode, which features her grandmother, Mama Vicky, reached the Top 5 on Spotify's Trending Podcast Episodes chart.
“Mama Vicky we made it! Sa lahat ng kwentong pwede kong ibahagi, ito 'yung pinakamalapit sa puso ko dahil dito nagsimula ang lahat. To see our very first episode — the one featuring my ultimate superhero, Mama Vicky — resonate with so many of you makes me so emotional,” she wrote.
“Thank you for listening, for honoring her story with me, and for proving that our most personal roots are what connect us the most. I'm definitely so proud to say, wala kayo sa lola ko,” she added.
Bianca describes Simply, B as a space dedicated to discussing life, dreams, and the shared experiences that connect us all.
