A Star-Studded Premiere
The show debuts Thursday, Oct. 1. The first episode features Fox News Media stars Rachel Campos-Duffy, Harris Faulkner, and Kat Timpf.
They'll be joined by newly named Fox News contributor Melissa DeRosa and former ESPN host Samantha Ponder. Ponder has become a prominent voice on issues like fairness in women's sports.
Ponder has taken to X to make it clear that this is just an appearance and she is not a host.
This is misleading. I am a guest on a new podcast episode. I’m still just an unemployed annoying homeschool mom.

No Script, No Limits
Each week will feature a rotating lineup of co-hosts. The format moves past the typical news roundtable in favor of free-flowing conversation.
Nothing is off-limits. Topics will range from politics and pop culture to money, marriage, parenting, relationships, and careers.
Albano said the goal is a no-holds-barred show that captures the authentic perspectives of the women of Fox News Media and beyond.
A Growing Lineup
Berry called the podcast a natural fit for the network's expanding slate of shows. It joins a roster that includes "Hang Out with Sean Hannity," "Ruthless," "Will Cain Country," "Planet Tyrus," and "The Riley Gaines Show."
The launch comes as Fox News continues to dominate online, leading all news brands in YouTube video views and social engagement in the second quarter of 2026.
"the Girls" is available on all major podcast platforms, including Fox News Digital, YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts.
