About this listen

In It with the Banks is a warm, funny, and unfiltered look at life inside a young family of five. Hosted by Matt and Alyssa Bank — a husband and wife with three kids under five — this podcast captures the real, relatable, and often chaotic moments of marriage and parenting in the early years.

Each episode feels like pulling up a chair with close friends as they talk through the ups, downs, and “are-we-seriously-doing-this?” parts of raising little kids while trying to stay connected as a couple. It’s part audio journal, part comedic therapy session, and part time capsule for their future selves.

No parenting advice. No perfect routines. No curated Instagram-life.

Just two exhausted, playful, and deeply in-it parents sharing honest conversations about connection, chaos, hobbies, marriage, and the fleeting stages of family life.

If you're a parent in the thick of it — or you just love hearing real people talk about the real stuff — you’ll feel right at home.

    #1 We Are IN IT - Why We Started a Podcast in the Middle of the Chaos
    Dec 11 2025

    In the very first episode of In It with the Banks, Matt and Alyssa kick things off with a look into why they decided to start this podcast in the middle of raising three kids under five. Between bedtime sprints, half-finished dinners, endless hobbies, and collapsing on the couch at 8:30 p.m., they talk candidly about how hard it can be for couples to stay connected once kids enter the picture.

    They dive into:

    • Why this podcast is part time-capsule, part date-night
    • The struggle of “what do we even do together anymore?”
    • The many (many) hobbies Matt has tried to force Alyssa into
    • The reality of evenings filled with phones, Paw Patrol, and Parks & Rec reruns
    • How easy it is to slip into autopilot as parents — and why they’re trying something new

    It’s honest, funny, a little self-roasty, and incredibly relatable for anyone who’s “in it” with young kids.

    Welcome to the Bank family. Let the chaos begin.
