Pod Meets World

It’s time to meet the parents, as this all-time favorite episode finally details Shawn’s home life and introduces us to Topanga’s (first) dad. Listen to the gang’s initial impressions of Blake Clark, the emo evolution of Shawn’s storylines and Mr. Turner as a father figure. And just when they get to Matthew Nelson’s first script, another beloved member of the Boy Meets World family is remembered....

She played Ingrid Iverson, a favorite from our Season 2 rewatch of “Turnaround,” and now actress Natanya Ross joins the gang for a new episode of Pod Meets World. Natanya started her acting career at just 6 months old and, in addition to BMW, found success on The Secret World of Alex Mack and The Baby-Sitters Club. But unfortunately, early attention in Hollywood sometimes finds itself lost in pers...

It's time to recap one of the most memorable episodes of Boy Meets World, "The Thrilla' in Phila'" - a surreal romp that introduces Vader to canon and features a rather random Robert Goulet cameo. What do they remember from this wild day of filming and, more importantly, does Yasmie Bleeth remember anything? Learn how they rehearsed the wrestling scene, how the transition to Griff is progressing a...

Now you can hear the recent Pod Meets World live show, taped at the iHeart Theater in Los Angeles, where Danielle, Rider & Will welcomed guests Betsy Randle, Anthony Tyler Quinn and the very special Bully Reunion!

We're in the homestretch of Season 2 and it's time to introduce Griff to the cast - welcoming the great, and very cool, Adam Scott to Boy Meets World (hopefully with a hug). When Cory and Shawn find a way to cheat, their morality comes under fire, while Mr. Turner sheds the tie for a very tight tank top. The gang is impressed with how this episode appears to come together, even if Topanga once aga...

In an interview the gang never expected, ice skating legend Nancy Kerrigan joins the podcast to talk about her surreal guest appearance on the BMW episode, “Wrong Side of the Tracks.” They talk about Will’s whirlwind, anxiety-inducing adventure to the East Coast set, Nancy’s thoughts on Will’s “skating ability” and why every Halloween still sucks for the iconic athlete. And how did Will end up in...

Where to begin with “Wrong Side of the Tracks?” Sure, there’s a new, unexplained Harley and a world class ice skater cameo, but the cast sure seems to be getting more comfortable AND we see the breadcrumbs of Shawn & Turner. This recap we also find out why Nancy Kerrigan joined the Boy Meets World Universe and how a young mouthy Danielle was punished.  Lace up those skates, it’s time to take t...

It’s a Full House as Will, Rider and Danielle welcome Stephanie Tanner herself, Jodie Sweetin, to PMW! They reminisce about running Hollywood as the childhood actors of the hottest TGIF shows, including the glorious highs and the darkest lows that came along with it. But most importantly, did someone pee their pants on the set of Danielle and Jodie’s Kooshlings commercial?? And why was there no Bo...

We’ve hit our first “Finals Week,” which means someone other than Cory gets the heavy lifting - and this time it’s Will.  When a new tutor offers to help Eric cheat on Mr. Feeny’s test, he wants to be seen as more than a bimbo. Also, the foundation is finally laid for a Turner / Shawn connection - while the Cory / Topanga romance is just a :30 second afterthought. Join the gang as they analyze a v...

She may have only appeared on one episode of Boy Meets World, but she certainly made the most of it! As TK, the hard-nosed and precocious sister of Harley Kiner, Danielle Harris stood out in Season 2 as an absolute scene stealer, so the gang had to talk to her. We learn about how she went from fighting Michael Myers to enrolling at John Adams High School, why she thinks Ben was afraid of her and h...

While Mr. Feeny pulls the plug on Cory and Shawn's pirate radio show in 1995…Will, Danielle and Rider use their present day podcast to guess which cast member is sick. They also wonder why they don’t remember anything about Robin Leach and if this episode is a “good romp,” or a “bad romp.” Also, which music festival would Feeny feel most comfortable at? And it wouldn’t be a Pod Meets World episode...

An idea tossed around since episode 1 finally comes to fruition as the gang sits down with therapist Kiera Muscara, to help look back on their childhood experiences and see them through an adult lens. It’s an emotional journey through facing your inner child, dealing with intense pressure at a young age and how returning for Girl Meets World may have changed everything. The journey to growth conti...

We’re Quinning! When you get the chance to talk about Boy Meets World with Mr. Turner himself, you take total advantage of it. The group returns to “Danger Boy,” with the beloved Tony Quinn, to talk about Happy Days comparisons, awful Elvis jokes and the cast member who was sent to the hospital after filming the episode’s big climax. Plus, Will saw Tupac once. Take a seat and pick your weirdest ti...

Leave it to Boy Meets World to have an episode called “Danger Boy” and not have Cory say it a once. For this recap, the gang is joined by Mr. Turner himself, Tony Quinn, to talk about how wardrobe picked his ties, how Will now thinks he’s trying too hard and the beauty of Turner’s signature throwaway delivery. And there’s so much to say about this “stroftibrite” episode, we’re breaking it up into...

It’s arrived. This moment has been talked about for months and it’s finally here. The gang now knows…they want you to take the rolls. Iconic. Danielle, Rider & Will also focus on Cory’s relationship with Wendy, a real rollercoaster of emotion, but a very important moment in Will’s acting goals. Eric develops a hairdresser fetish, Alan and Amy have their concerns and Rider sees himself in a d-b...

When a listener emailed us about some old cassette tapes he had of ‘90s teen magazine interviews with Will, Rider and Danielle - we couldn’t have been more intrigued. And boy…did they deliver!  With the help of Producer / Husband of the Podcast, Jensen Karp, the gang will listen to never heard before (and cringeworthy) audio about their crushes, their teenage rooms and what they want to do after a...

In yet another example of life imitating art, this episode features Cory deciding to hop into politics and run for class President. As the hosts begin to recap, it’s hard not to notice the modern day relevancy.  And when it comes to onscreen action, Danielle, Rider & Will throw around some theories on why this episode, that may or may not have been written by an NFL legend, turned out feeling...

Writer, Producer & Director David Kendall has some real, never heard before Boy Meets World intel! Since he was inserted into the show’s creative brain trust by the network for Season 2, he knows absolutely everything about the transformation from warm cozy blanket to “The Horny Teen Era.”  Who was on the chopping block? What was the aged up directive moving into high school? And WHAT DID THEY...

It’s time to shine a spotlight on Frankie, and the incredible work of a young Ethan Suplee, as Danielle, Rider & Will breakdown an episode of second hand romance. We finally get a bullies-centric episode, but were they given enough? And what’s up with these always rotating lockers?  And for good measure, Rider and Will compare body grooming techniques. Cause, of course they did. See omnystudio...

The Q's and A's keep rolling with a BONUS third episode this week! Where's the weirdest place you've ever been recognized? Did Rider write Shawn's poetry? If Cory was celery, what foods would they have been? Which character almost moved to Los Angeles for a spin-off? And did Danielle really forget acting with a real bear while covered in honey? Yeah, she did. It's Part 2 for Season 2!! See omnystu...

It's that time again! You’ve got Q's and they’ve got A's! How did the audience see the sets? What were teen magazine shoots like? How do guests get booked for the pod?

It’s ladies’ choice for this recap, as Danielle, Rider & Will tackle “Turnaround,” an episode with a surprise Christmas tie-in. Dates are juggled, butts are checked out and makeovers are performed on guest star Natanya Ross, all in the name of a book the group wants to read together, Pygmalion.  Cory and Topanga share a rare Season 2 moment - but will the gang dig this episode? Grab your schoo...

One of the most recognizable faces on Boy Meets World might not immediately come to mind when thinking of the show, but on this week’s episode, the gang will remind you that guest Blake Clark, a.k.a. Chet Hunter, is absolutely a Hollywood legend. Beyond appearing in a dozen or so Adam Sandler movies (Waterboy, anyone?), at one point in the ‘90s, Blake appeared on a new ABC sitcom every night of th...

Our hosts sit down to recap “The Beard,” an episode that follows Shawn’s madcap attempt at basically dating two women at once. And while they analyze the madness, Danielle wonders if it’s finally time to talk to a very important person in her life, even if that person doesn’t know that she is. And Rider recalls meeting a life-long friend while taping this episode, then buying a Blind Melon CD in B...

The gang FINALLY finds out how Harley’s real name is Harvey, as TK is introduced to steal Cory’s heart in “Sister Theresa.” Listen in as Danielle, Rider & Will induct a new member into the Guest Star Hall of Fame.
