#547 - Is Bobby Wrong For Being Mad at This Country Artist? + Jeff Pearlman Discusses What He Learned About Tupac While Writing His Book + Why Tupac Died Broke + The Process of Interviewing Over 650 People for the Book

In this episode of the BobbyCast, Bobby shares behind-the-scenes stories from his life in the music and radio industry. He shares why he has been mad at a country artist for years and whether or not he is justified. He reflects on the cliquey nature of the industry, the value of authentic relationships, and why he’s learned to cut out drama and dishonesty. Then, Bobby sits down with bestselling author Jeff Pearlman to dig into the stories behind his deep-dive on Tupac Shakur. Jeff talks about what he really learned while reporting the book—beyond the headlines and mythology—and why such a massive cultural force could still die broke. He breaks down his reporting playbook too: how you track down, organize, and verify insights from more than 650 interviews, and what surprised him most along the way. You’ll hear how money, management, and momentum collided in Tupac’s final years, the moments that reshaped Jeff’s understanding of who Pac was off-mic, and the practical nuts-and-bolts of building a biography at this scale.
