Riley Gaines, who has been a strong and unapologetic voice for making women’s sports open only to women, will be bringing her podcast to Fox News Media.
Gaines was a top collegiate swimmer who spoke out on behalf of female swimmers who were relegated to second place when transgender swimmer Lia Thomas was hogging medals amid fawning media attention.
Her message resonated, leading her to host a podcast, “Gaines for Girls,” through OutKick starting in 2023, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
Now, through the deal with Fox, the podcast will be titled “The Riley Gaines Show.”

They fall apart the moment someone actually confronts them because 1) their stance is indefensible & 2) they don’t actually believe men can become women.
Their normal “defend women’s rights” doesn’t work when they’re called on their hypocrisy. https://t.co/tWpCv0ROxD

The new podcast will begin Jan. 7, with new podcasts every Wednesday and Friday.
Porter Berry, the president and editor in chief of Fox News Digital and president of new media for Fox, said Gaines helps the network connect in a new way, according to Fox News.
“Riley has been an instrumental voice on OutKick, across Fox News Media, and for women across this country,” Berry said in a statement.
“I am thrilled that she will be part of our new expansion and provide a unique and fresh perspective on everything from culture trends to current affairs and continue to be a leading voice for young conservative women,” he said.
Gaines said, “I started this journey of simply saying men shouldn’t play in women’s sports and OutKick and Fox News Media have supported me from day one.”
