Best known as a daytime host on Live With Kelly and Ryan, Kelly Ripa, 52, is now taking on the audio space with the announcement of her new podcast, Let’s Talk Off Camera With Kelly Ripa. Considering Ryan Seacrest, 48, is exiting from Live, fans were ecstatic to see the next phase of Kelly’s career.
Kelly’s latest project dropped on March 22. According to her Instagram post, Kelly plans to sit down with a number of celebrity guests to discuss “a variety of personal and meaningful topics” that fans wouldn’t necessarily be able to hear while on the air.

“Hey, it’s Kelly Ripa—you know, from your TV,” she says in the short clip. “Now, the makeup is coming off, the sweats are going on, we’re ditching the script and getting down to business. On my brand-new podcast, Let’s Talk Off Camera With Kelly Ripa. Some of the best conversations happen backstage in my dressing room, and now, I’m inviting you in.”
Her first episode, released on March 22, was titled “Mark Consuelos: Surviving Marriage, Sex and Stonewalling” and the new podcast host sat down with her husband Mark. She captioned her Instagram post, “The premiere episode of #LetsTalkOffCamera finally drops today. Listen as @instasuelos discovers the difference between sex and intimacy. Link in bio to listen—and make sure to subscribe to “Let’s Talk Off Camera” wherever you listen to your podcasts!” In the episode, Kelly and Mark discussed never-before-heard details about their marriage.
Fan Reactions
After the premiere, fans let her know how excited they were about her podcast in her Instagram comments. "Loved it!! Can't wait for more!" one person wrote. "This is going to be the best podcast!!!!" another commented, while a third person wrote, "It was so great."
"Omg new podcast to listen to!" someone else commented, while another expressed, "I can't wait to hear this and all your other interviews! And I have to say it is wonderful to see how Mark is able to continually evolve and share all men should know, but don't!"
Listeners can expect to hear celebrities like Anderson Cooper (who recently interviewed Prince Harry), Holly Robinson Peete, and Kal Penn be "unfiltered, often unhinged," according to Kelly. We can't wait to see more of this podcast which will continue to drop a new episode every Wednesday.
