The Soap Show is a weekly internet audio podcast and website covering English speaking soap operas from Australia, the UK and the US. It was launched in 2006 and claims to be the only audio programme on the internet which carries weekly interviews with actors from classic and current Australian, UK and US soap operas.

The website contains soap opera news, episode guides, features, and news from the Australian television industry. The focus is on soaps that air, or have aired, on UK television, including Coronation Street and Eastenders, as well as Australian and US soaps. There are regular interviews with actors from current soaps such as Home and Away and Neighbours and classic series like The Sullivans, Sons and Daughters and The Young Doctors. Transcripts of many of these audio interviews are available on the website.

The show also regularly interviews soap opera actors who are appearing in theatre productions in its Stars on Stage section.
