Dylan Dreyer can track a cold front from a continent away and predict a nor’easter down to the inch. But at home, where the forecast involves three energetic boys and zero reliable radar, the meteorologist and co-host of TODAY’s third hour is the first to admit: parenting is one system she hasn’t quite cracked.
Her new podcast, “The Parent Chat,” grows out of that tension. If there’s no playbook for parenting, Dylan’s approach is to crowdsource one. “I’ve learned a lot in my years as a parent,” she says in the trailer, “mostly that I don’t have it all figured out yet.” Each week, Dylan brings in reinforcements — parenting experts with with real, practical advice, and fellow working parents with been-there stories — to talk through the questions families are asking. The aim isn’t total perfection so much as solidarity. It's a reminder that even the most put-together parents are, at times, just figuring it out as they go. The guest list reflects that mix of expertise and empathy, with appearances from model Ashley Graham, NFL sideline reporter Erin Andrews, Tig Notaro, Big Little Feelings founders Deena Margolin and Kristin Gallant, economist Emily Oster, Fit Dad CEO Dave Ogleton, and psychologists Dr. Shefali Tsabary and Dr. Wendy Mogel, among others. Dylan also brings plenty of her own real-life parenting moments into the mix, sharing stories about Calvin, 9, Oliver, 6, and Rusty, 5, from the everyday chaos to the bigger picture realities of raising kind, confident kids. Because while parenting may not come with a manual, Dylan suggests, it can at least come with something close: a group chat where no question feels too small. “The Parent Chat” launches on Wednesday, April 1. Episode 1 is an interview with Ashley Graham, while Episode 2 features Erin Andrews. Each episode will be available on the TODAY YouTube channel and wherever you get your podcasts.
