Lather up with your Eighth Continent by ME Bath bath bomb denizens of the Golden Riviera for a podcast so soapy it’s gonna wash that privilege guilt right out of your hair!
Welcome to Montecito. A dark paradise where shattered romances, hidden family secrets, scandalous affairs hide behind manicured hedges and the shadows of towering palm trees. Inspired by the golden age of American radio dramas, Montecito blends classic soap with the modern audio drama genre —where love is currency, legacy is everything, and trust is the most dangerous game of all.
Starting April 22, 2025, prepare for a reimagining of the audio soap opera. Episodes will release weekly on Tuesdays.
