Meteorologist and TODAY third-hour co-host Dylan Dreyer is launching a new venture aimed at tackling the unpredictable world of family life. While Dreyer expertly tracks weather systems, she admits that managing her three energetic boys—Calvin (9), Oliver (6), and Rusty (5)—presents a different kind of challenge.

Introducing "The Parent Chat" Podcast

This new podcast, titled "The Parent Chat," stems directly from the tension Dreyer feels trying to master the art of parenting. Her approach is to crowdsource solutions rather than claim expertise.

In the podcast trailer, Dreyer candidly shares her perspective: “I’ve learned a lot in my years as a parent,” she states, “mostly that I don’t have it all figured out yet.” The show aims to foster solidarity among listeners, emphasizing that even seemingly perfect parents are often learning as they go.

Weekly Format: Experts and Real Stories

Each week, Dreyer brings in reinforcements to discuss common family questions. These reinforcements include parenting experts offering practical guidance and fellow working parents sharing their personal experiences.

The goal of the podcast is not to achieve flawless parenting, but rather to build a supportive community. Dreyer plans to share her own everyday chaos and larger realities of raising kind, confident children.

High-Profile Guests Lined Up for Launch

The initial guest list highlights a blend of professional expertise and relatable empathy. Dreyer will feature conversations with notable figures across various fields.

Confirmed guests include:

  • Model Ashley Graham
  • NFL sideline reporter Erin Andrews
  • Comedian Tig Notaro
  • Big Little Feelings founders Deena Margolin and Kristin Gallant
  • Economist Emily Oster
  • Fit Dad CEO Dave Ogleton
  • Psychologists Dr. Shefali Tsabary and Dr. Wendy Mogel
