Calling all Joy Reid fans!!! She's baaaack !!! And she looks amazing to boot! [View all]

Joy Reid is returning to the mic—this time, on her own terms.

With the launch of “The Joy Reid Show,” the Emmy-nominated journalist is stepping out from behind the confines of a network news desk and into the podcast world, a space where she can speak as herself, to her people, her way.

“Throughout my career, I’ve been proud to serve as a trustworthy voice in journalism, particularly as a Black woman in spaces where the perspectives of women, and particularly women of color, are too often underrepresented,” Reid said in a press release. “This new podcast marks an exciting new chapter—an opportunity to reach broader audiences, build vibrant communities, and lead thoughtful conversations on the issues that matter.”

Set to premiere June 9, the show will give fans a fuller view of Joy Reid: the analyst, the auntie, the cultural critic, and the woman who’s not afraid to call a fool a fool. With episodes dropping Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays across YouTube and all major podcast platforms, the “Joy Reid Show” is expected to be equal parts analytical, intimate, and entertaining. Monday and Wednesday episodes will bring deep dives into the headlines and the humans shaping them, while Friday’s “Freestyle Fridays” turn the mic to the people, sparking real-time convo with Reid’s audience, Substack community (“Joy’s House”), and surprise guests.

With plans to expand to five days a week and build out a fully engaged listening community, “The Joy Reid Show” will also include beloved segments from her hit show “The Reid Out,” like “Who Won The Week.”
