The Girls premieres Thursday at 10 a.m., bringing together Kat Timpf, Harris Faulkner, Rachel Campos-Duffy, Melissa DeRosa and former ESPN host Samantha Ponder for its opening episode.

Fox says subjects will include marriage, parenting, money, faith and careers alongside the biggest headlines.

Executives say the format is meant to showcase authentic personalities from inside and outside Fox; viewers will decide whether that promise translates into compelling listening.
