FOX NEWS MEDIA EXPANDS PODCAST PORTFOLIO WITH NEW ORIGINAL SHOW "the GIRLS" DEBUTING OCTOBER 1

NEW YORK, Sept. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- FOX News Podcasts will broaden its original podcast slate with FOX News' the Girls, a new personality-driven conversation series featuring an array of leading female voices. The announcement was made today by FOX News Digital and New Media President Porter Berry and Megan Albano, Executive Vice President of Morning Programming & Program Development. "the Girls" will debut on October 1^st, with new episodes dropping every Thursday across all podcast platforms, including FOX News Digital, YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts.

Each episode of FOX News' the Girls will include a rotating cast of co-hosts week to week, moving beyond the traditional news roundtable for a free-flowing conversation that can go anywhere — politics and pop culture; money and marriage; parenting, relationships, careers, or the group chat-worthy story of the day. Nothing is off the table. Showcasing multiple distinct perspectives, the conversation will revolve naturally around the issues impacting real life with undeniable chemistry, refreshing candor and no script. The first episode will feature FOX News Media stars Rachel Campos-Duffy, Harris Faulkner and Kat Timpf, newly named FOX News contributor Melissa DeRosa and former ESPN host Samantha Ponder.

In commenting on the announcement, Berry said, "the Girls is a natural addition to our growing podcast portfolio, and we're thrilled to continue expanding our slate of distinctive shows that complement our existing lineup while creating new opportunities for our audience to engage with our content."

Albano added, "We're excited to deliver a no-holds-barred format that captures the authenticity and perspectives of the many dynamic women of FOX News Media and beyond."

Bringing together unique female voices and experiences spanning news, politics, sports, comedy and culture, the premiere episode will feature a variety of viewpoints and backgrounds:

• Rachel Campos-Duffy joined FNC in 2016 and currently co-hosts FOX & Friends Weekend. A mother of nine, she is a New York Times bestselling author and previously appeared on MTV's The Real World.
• Emmy Award-winning journalist Harris Faulkner has been with FNC since 2005 and anchors The Faulkner Focus and co-hosts Outnumbered. She is also a New York Times bestselling author and mother of two daughters.
