Dylan Dreyer, beloved Today show co-anchor, is diving into a new venture by launching her very own podcast, The Parent Chat with Dylan Dreyer. The 44-year-old, known for her candid and relatable style on the show’s third hour, is now extending her voice beyond television to share her experiences of balancing a demanding career with motherhood in New York City.
In her announcement, Dreyer excitedly shared that the podcast will debut Thursday, April 2, offering listeners an inside look at her life as a working mother of three young boys—Calvin, 9, Oliver, 6, and Rusty, 5. As the description of the show highlights, Dreyer isn’t just the familiar face on Today, but also a mom navigating the daily joys and challenges of raising kind and confident children while striving to keep herself balanced.

A Personal and Candid Approach to Parenting
The podcast will give Dreyer the chance to open up about the real-life moments of parenting that often go unnoticed behind the scenes. From daily chaos to the bigger life lessons, The Parent Chat promises to offer both humor and heartfelt insights as Dreyer discusses the rewards and struggles of motherhood.
In her announcement, Dreyer said that, like every parent, she sometimes finds it overwhelming to navigate this journey and often needs help along the way. “Parenting may not come with a manual, but it feels easier when you have a support system—like a group chat where no question is too small,” Dreyer said, emphasizing the importance of community and support.
The first episode will feature a conversation with Ashley Graham, and the second will include Erin Andrews, bringing in fellow public figures to discuss their own parenting experiences.
A Busy Time for Dylan Dreyer
The launch of her podcast comes during a period of transition for The Today Show. Peter Alexander recently left his role as the Saturday anchor after two decades, and Savannah Guthrie is preparing to return following an extended absence. Amidst these shifts, Dreyer’s podcast offers fans a new way to connect with her on a more personal level.
In addition to her podcast, Dreyer continues to co-host the popular radio show Off the Rails alongside her Today co-stars, Al Roker and Sheinelle Jones. She also previously collaborated with her soon-to-be ex-husband, Brian Fichera, on Lunch Date with Dylan and Brian, sharing more intimate moments from her family life.
As Dreyer embarks on this exciting new project, it’s clear that her unique perspective on motherhood and her genuine, candid approach to sharing life’s ups and downs will resonate deeply with her growing audience.
