- Fox News is debuting 'The Girls,' a podcast built around a rotating cast of weekly co-hosts, with the first episode dropping Thursday and new episodes releasing every Thursday
- The inaugural episode features Rachel Campos-Duffy, Harris Faulkner, Kat Timpf, Melissa DeRosa, and Samantha Ponder, with Ponder joining after her run hosting ESPN's Sunday Countdown and DeRosa coming from New York Governor Andrew Cuomo's administration
- The podcast's topic menu spans pop culture, parenting, relationships, careers, money, and politics — a deliberate mix the network says sets a 'no-holds-barred' tone
- The format mirrors the panel structure that drives The Five and Outnumbered on Fox News television, two of the network's most established ensemble shows
- The launch comes on the heels of Fox News Podcasts debuting 'Hang Out with Sean Hannity' earlier this year, signaling a broader push into the audio space
- Porter Berry, president of Fox News Digital and New Media, and Megan Albano, EVP of morning programming and program development, both framed the podcast as a natural expansion of the network's growing podcast portfolio
Why it matters: Fox News is porting the multi-host panel format that fuels two of its highest-rated TV shows (The Five, Outnumbered) into audio, giving the network a new weekly vehicle aimed at women listeners. The debut lineup deliberately blends network insiders with outside voices like former Cuomo aide DeRosa and ex-ESPN host Ponder to broaden the bench beyond its usual on-air roster.
