Kelly Ripa Announces New Podcast with SiriusXM, Let’s Talk Off Camera
Hosted by Ripa, the show will premiere March 2023 and give listeners access to raw conversations with Hollywood favorites
NEW YORK, NY – February 1, 2023 – Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos’s Milojo Productions today announced an all-new podcast hosted by Ripa and produced in collaboration with SiriusXM.
Let’s Talk Off Camera with Kelly Ripa will be home to edgy and honest conversations between Ripa and a celebrity guest, where they will take a deep dive into a variety of personal and meaningful topics. Depending on the subject matter, a specialist or expert could also join the episode to provide helpful insights. Each episode will be unfiltered and uncensored. Kelly and the guest will tackle important issues and share stories on navigating some of life’s biggest curveballs.
“After 23 years of interviewing celebrities, authors, musicians and experts on live TV, the big takeaway is that the most compelling and unfiltered conversations happen OFF camera," said Ripa. "I have dreamed of a platform where I can have these honest talks without all the fuss and filter of a camera. Now SiriusXM has made my dream a reality with a podcast featuring friends, both old and new, discussing a variety of topics we all face in life, while getting deep with some experts’ views and advice along the way. Not another podcast, this is OFF CAMERA!”
The agreement gives SXM Media, the combined advertising sales group from Sirius XM Holdings Inc., exclusive global ad sales rights for Let’s Talk Off Camera with Kelly Ripa.
Beginning in March 2023, new episodes of Let’s Talk Off Camera with Kelly Ripa are expected to be available every week on Stitcher, the SXM App, and all major podcast listening platforms.
“Kelly Ripa has been an indelible part of television for decades," said Scott Greenstein, SiriusXM's President and Chief Content Officer. "We're excited to launch this series so that audiences can hear a whole new side of her incredible talent, humor, and perspective."
Let’s Talk Off Camera with Kelly Ripa is created and produced by Milojo Productions. The show will be executive produced by Kelly Ripa, Mark Consuelos and Albert Bianchini.
