Fox News Media Launching "The Girls" Podcast


Fox News Media is expanding its podcast slate with The Girls, an all-female roundtable that debuts Oct. 1 with a rotating cast of network personalities and outside guests, including newly named contributor Melissa DeRosa, a former top aide to Andrew Cuomo.
⁠
The weekly series will drop every Thursday on Fox News Digital, YouTube, Spotify and Apple Podcasts. Fox says the show is meant to move past a standard news panel into unscripted conversation covering politics, pop culture, money, marriage, parenting, relationships and careers.⁠

The premiere episode features Fox & Friends Weekend co-host Rachel Campos-Duffy, The Faulkner Focus anchor Harris Faulkner, Gutfeld! panelist Kat Timpf, former ESPN Sunday NFL Countdown host Samantha Ponder and DeRosa. Future episodes will mix different combinations of Fox talent and guests from across the company’s footprint.

⁠

DeRosa, a Democratic strategist who served as secretary to the governor in Cuomo’s administration, will also appear across Fox News programming. Ponder’s appearance is one of her more prominent media roles since leaving ESPN in 2024.⁠

Fox News Digital and New Media President Porter Berry called the show “a natural addition to our growing podcast portfolio.” Megan Albano, executive vice president of morning programming and program development, described it as a “no-holds-barred format” meant to capture “the authenticity and perspectives of the many dynamic women” at Fox and beyond.⁠

The launch adds to a digital lineup that already includes Hang Out with Sean Hannity, Ruthless, Will Cain Country, Planet Tyrus and The Riley Gaines Show. The format also extends a panel approach familiar from Fox’s television programming, including The Five and Outnumbered.
