Summary
Five women — Harris Faulkner, Rachel Campos-Duffy, Kat Timpf, Melissa DeRosa and Samantha Ponder — launched FOX News Podcasts' "the Girls" on Thursday with a wide-ranging first episode.
The debut centered on two flashpoints: backlash against children's entertainer Ms. Rachel over her political activism and the Lindsay Clancy case, in which Ponder said the Massachusetts mother should be imprisoned if convicted.
Faulkner argued parents should know when online children's figures voice views on ICE and illegal immigration, while Timpf dismissed the concern, saying Ms. Rachel's songs are what matter to kids.
Timpf also turned the conversation personal, describing her father's sudden death from an aortic dissection and how it deepened her fears about health, fate and mortality.
FOX pitched the new show as an unfiltered, rotating-panel podcast spanning news, politics, sports, comedy and culture, now distributed across Fox platforms, Apple, Spotify and YouTube.
