The 10-episode audio drama brings classic soap opera intrigue to the podcast format, blending high-stakes storytelling with a nostalgic nod to the 1990s daytime TV scene.

It’s also a family production: joining Ripa and Consuelos in the voice cast is their real-life son, Michael Consuelos, marking a rare on-mic collaboration between the three.

According to the official synopsis, the show is set in the fictional world of a long-running soap opera. "Summer Breeze"- follows a struggling screenwriter (voiced by "The Good Fight’s" Sarah Steele) who lands her big break when her script is picked up by a powerful producer, Gordon Ready (Consuelos).

As she realizes the true nature of her new boss, she turns to a former soap star, Carolyn Harris (Ripa), for help.

Together, the two women hatch a revenge plot through the soap opera itself, setting off a chain of events that blur the boundaries between fiction and reality.

In addition to the Ripa-Consuelos family, the cast includes Zack Gilford ("Friday Night Lights"), Talia Balsam, Adriane Lenox, Grey Henson and Ally Sheedy.

"Summer Breeze" is streaming now on Audible.
