Soap opera podcasts

There are millions of viewers around the world who love the glamour and melodrama of US daytime soaps, but did you know that fans can keep up with two of them no matter where they live?!

CBS soaps Guiding Light and As the World Turns are available over the internet as daily podcasts.

You can catch up with each episode, along with an unobtrusive commentary that sets each scene. All episodes have crystal clear sound and are ad-free. For Guiding Light fans there is even the option to listen to a shorter "lite" version of the show.

Produced by Proctor & Gamble, Guiding Light is the longest running drama in the world, ever! It started life as a radio soap in January 1937, before moving to TV in 1952. Set in the fictional city of Springfield, it follows the lives of the Bauer, Spaulding, Lewis, Marler and Cooper families.

As The World Turns is another P&G soap and while not quite as old as Guiding Light, it recently celebrated its golden anniversary! ATWT is set Oakdale, IL, and follows the lives of the Hughes, Montgomery, Ryan, Snyder, Stewart and Walsh families.
