Dylan Dreyer is stepping into a new chapter in her career, announcing the launch of a podcast more than a decade after becoming a familiar face on Today.
The longtime weather anchor, who joined the program in 2012 and rose to national recognition, shared the news directly with fans on Instagram. Dreyer revealed she is launching a new podcast titled “The Parenting Chat,” with the first episode set to debut imminently.
The announcement comes after what she described as a difficult year personally, making the new project a notable milestone in both her professional and personal journey.
A Personal Approach to Parenting Conversations
Dreyer introduced the podcast through a video featuring moments with her three sons — Cal, Ollie, and Rusty — offering a glimpse into her life as a mother. In the clip, she acknowledged the realities of parenting, stating she has learned a great deal over the years while also admitting she does not have everything figured out.
The podcast will center on candid discussions with fellow parents, including celebrity guests, as they share experiences and practical advice. Dreyer explained that each episode will focus on honest conversations about navigating everyday family life.
“This is my new podcast The Parent Chat,” she said, describing the series as a space for real-world parenting insights and shared experiences.
Strong Fan Reaction to New Venture
Fans quickly responded with enthusiasm following the announcement, flooding social media with messages of support. Many expressed excitement about the podcast’s relatable theme and Dreyer’s openness about her parenting journey.
Supporters highlighted her authenticity and humor, noting that her willingness to share both challenges and successes as a parent makes her especially relatable. Others said they were eager to hear advice and perspectives from both Dreyer and her upcoming guests.
The new project also comes amid changes in Dreyer’s personal life. She and her estranged husband, Brian Fichera, ended their marriage in November after 12 years together. Despite the separation, the two continue to maintain a cooperative relationship as they co-parent their three children.
New episodes of “The Parenting Chat” are scheduled to be released weekly, with fresh installments arriving every Thursday. The podcast marks a significant expansion of Dreyer’s role beyond television, as she brings her voice and experiences to a new platform focused on family and parenting.
