When the gang rewatched Season 4's “Hair Today, Goon Tomorrow," they were not only blown away by the episode itself, but there was one special guest star that proved there is no such thing as a "small part."

We often say that Pod Meets World is part recapping a classic TV show…and part public therapy session. So, with this in mind, it’s time to check back in with actual therapist Kiera Muscara for another analytical look at their experiences on Boy Meets World and how the past 6 months of podcast episodes have affected their current adult psyche.  While digging even deeper, Rider reveals some childhood regrets he has when it comes to his mom and Will remembers the one (and only) time he yelled at Danielle on set.

While Eric is tutoring a fellow student at John Adams High, which seems like a terrible idea.  Chet makes a triumphant return to BMW, but our hosts wonder if his ulterior motives are obvious. And sadly, every episode gets us one step closer to the dreaded moment of “the accident,” even if our hosts have no idea when it actually happens. Who accidentally spent $800 on sushi?

We love Mr. Feeny, but now it’s time for Mr. Jones!

William Daniels is a consummate performer, and the most accomplished actor on the Boy Meets World set, but THIS episode marks the first time we see him *almost* break. Emphasis on ALMOST. The gang bids farewell to Joey the Rat - but welcomes back Vader - who gets to flex some real acting muscle! It’s the first episode after the Cory and Topanga break-up, but the script doesn’t seem to care.

Danielle, Rider & Will have already tracked down some BMW-lifers for the podcast, getting the inside scoop from the select few crew members who worked on the show for all 7 seasons. But when it comes to the true tea, no one saw more than the Stage Manager. And Steve Hoefer was that - and more - for the show’s entire run. In addition to directing one of the most surreal episodes of the series, he was the brave soul in charge of making sure everyone got to set on time (and he reveals which 2 cast members had the hardest time achieving that). He’d later go on to direct almost every Nickelodeon show ever made, but for this podcast we get a completely different perspective on Danielle’s first appearance, why a mythical creature from Magic: The Gathering was a fixture on set and what Universal Studios Tram operators can NEVER say. And, we finally hear the origin of longtime BMW inside joke, “Steve’s Havin a Baby!,” directly from the source.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This time Danielle, Rider & Will are faced with choosing the best EPISODES they’ve seen so far. Who will score the iconic Shawn episode “The Fugitive??” Will the Pilot episode even get picked?? And will Topanga be in ANY of them?  As is the trend with Pod Meets World, the draft transcends into serious unpacking when the gang confronts their conflicted relationship with acting and, most importantly…their hair. And YOU get to be part of the action!

To celebrate the (kind of) half(ish)way point to Season 7 of Boy Meets World, we’re pitting Danielle, Will and Rider against each other to see who can “draft” the best team of BMW characters from the episodes they’ve seen so far. Who will be the #1 pick? Which Matthews parent will go first? And is Yasmine Bleeth even available if she doesn’t remember being on the show?  Things get heated when the gang goes head-to-head-to-head trying to score the most iconic roles for a PERFECT 8-person cast. But the true winner will be chosen by YOU! Which drafted show would you want to see in reality - let us know on Instagram @podmeetsworldshow NOW!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We’ve got a winner! “City Slackers” is a pivotal episode for Rider and Will, because while one faced disciplinary action, the other worked with a “master magician” (and just wait until you hear more about that guy!) We get a rare Feeny/Shawn storyline and Rider shares how his love of Counting Crows has forever connected him to the legendary band. And you won’t believe the behind the scenes true story of Will’s final trick pool shot. It’s real life Boy Meets World folklore. It’s time to bundle up and meet some ski lodge bunnies on this new episode of Pod Meets World!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Her name came up so many times on the show, she'd become the perennial "We gotta get her on the pod"  - and now...here she is. Writer / producer Susan Estelle Jansen has arrived to talk about her many contributions and her experiences inside the BMW writers room. And as an integral part of the show's birth and production, we get her perspective and dig even deeper into the Rashomon that was Season 1 politics. Susan would go on to EP Lizzie McGuire (and write the movie), but first she'd be an early contributor to Home Improvement and the brains behind Topanga's famous haircut episode. Susan's credits speak for themselves, but we're happy she came on to do some of the talking too - for the newest episode of Pod Meets World.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We all love Boy Meets World, but what would the show be like if you couldn’t hear Feeny’s words of wisdom, the chaos of the halls of John Adams High or the audience swooning over Cory and Topanga?? Sound Mixer Tamara Johnson is an unsung hero from behind the scenes, serving as the sound mixer for EVERY episode of BMW and Girl Meets World! Tamara shares some unbelievable stories about making the show, from hitting the streets to collect authentic sound effects to working with actors on syncing up their “lip flaps.” Plus, we hear the story of “The Laugh Guy,” a legendary contributor the gang didn’t even know existed!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sure, it's early in the Cory / Topanga relationship, but the gang is already concerned with some immediate red flags.  Cory is insorceled by a classmate named Missy, now interested in forcefully kissing him against his will because he's taken by Topanga. So when he ends up at a faux party thrown to test his loyalty, he finds himself in deep trouble. But the big question: Did he do anything wrong? Will actually LIVED the story from this episode and tells the group how it all went down. Brittany Murphy returns for her last BMW appearance, Bill Daniels is at his best and Will continues to tell everyone he was unlovable as a preteen. All this and a RARE crossover with a DCOM classic “My Date with the President’s Daughter” on the new Pod Meets World...See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Media trained or not, this episode brought out a lot of feelings.

But onto bigger and better things - it’s time to tackle the episode, “This Little Piggy,” which gives us more Topanga, but not in the way we wanted. Will the downward spiral of Season 3 continue, or can the gang find a way to lift their spirits? Plus, the hosts share memories of working with one of the greatest actors of their generation... but sadly, he left his dressing room a sty.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You know the “who” and the “why” of Boy Meets World, but now it’s time to hear about the “wear!”  Legendary costume designer Sara Markowitz joins Danielle, Will and Rider to share her stories from seasons 2 & 3, while spilling some of the best dressed secrets (like the true meaning of Turner’s ties and what BMW has in common with Twin Peaks!!) Mysteries are uncovered as Sara takes us into the Boy Meets World closet ‘fit by ‘fit, but will we find out the REAL origin of “the leather jacket?” This is an episode where too much shirts is a good thing!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The gangs’ concerns about Season 3 sure are stacking up - but are they just facing another bout of Drop Shock?  With Topanga back on the call sheet, there’s hope, but the absence of tripods, cameras and cables are stealing most of Rider’s attention. Plus, this episode inspires Will to admit to a lifelong lie he told about Bon Jovi and some tour travel stories are in full effect…See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

She may have been in a super long timeout, but now she’s free and ready to chat! You know her as “the second Morgan Matthews,” but what you don’t know are the details of how it all went down, the secrets that were kept (including from Lindsay!) and why Will might not be allowed into a LEGOLAND. We move on from the Weasel and hear all about the birth of a brand new Morgan.  Same World. New stories. It’s time for a new, and highly anticipated, Pod Meets World… This episode was recorded on June 6, 2023.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For a script that has more storylines than John Adams High School has floors, the gang is back and ready to recap. With Shawn getting advice (and tips on flirting?) from a new guidance counselor, it’s also time to say goodbye to both of our top bullies. Our hosts also notice the episode’s “bum” character is a true legend and papayas are not a casual snack, man! Rider details what it was like to emancipate from his parents as a teen and Danielle reveals she’s still friends with her first troll. The podcasts keep coming, but the teacher keep getting younger - on Pod Meets World! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Season 3 has already brought us a handful of surprises, but nothing has made our crew happier than seeing the debut of Mr. Eli Williams, played by the effortlessly cool Alex Désert. And now they reunite to talk about his time at John Adams High, shooting Swingers at night after taping Boy Meets World, being the coolest guy in the room and working with *clears singing voice* Tony Tyler Quinn.

On a special and emotional episode of Pod Meets World, the gang catches up with a very important person in their lives: BMW producer and frequent director, Jeff McCracken. With over 50 episodes under his belt, he became not only a fixture on set, but in the stars’ lives, impacting their futures and careers ever since. He talks about being there when Boy Meets World was created, why he went from acting to producing and how he’s since made painting his primary creative outlet. With a name and legacy that will never leave the hearts of Danielle, Will & Rider - this is an episode you don’t want to miss.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Season 3 is taking off, and there is already A LOT of making out. Shawn and Mr. Turner might have caught each other in a lie, but it’s the Eric / Feeny dynamic that’s honestly incredible. And somewhere in all the lip locking, an iconic line debuts, Rider proves to be a great “stormer outter” and we learn the meaning of Soy Milk.

When we recently recapped Summertime Switch, a movie Rider Strong co-started in during Boy Meets World’s Season 1 hiatus, tons of listeners had just one request: get Jason Weaver on the podcast. And so, we consider ourselves lucky to make your dreams come true.It’s a camp reunion as Jason remembers the ABC movie of the week and how Jason’s dance moves weren’t the hottest thing on set. Jason also talks Smart Guy, the advice Michael Jackson gave him to play the young King of Pop, how Elton John turned him into the Lion King and…Chingy. With a contagious smile and positive attitude, it’s no surprise Jason has never stopped working and that he’s now the perfect guest for Pod Meets World.This episode was recorded on June 27, 2023See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The time for Season 3 has arrived! Will the transition be smooth or are we in for another Shock Drop? The Summer is officially over and it appears Cory and Topanga are finally set to become official? Well, unless Shawn gets to her first. So will this new found love triangle (and a new cool teacher) be enough for a strong start or will the hosts be totally confused like Shawn STILL trying to pick a college?And - the hosts talk about their time with guest star, and icon, Brittany Murphy. Let’s get ready for another year at the Tower of John Adams High School on Pod Meets World…See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Just days away from the start of Season 3 recaps, there’s just one last piece of unfinished business from the gang’s Freshman year at John Adams High School that needs attending to. It was during the rewatch that actress Darlene Vogel, and her nuanced, yet vital, role as Katherine “Kat” Tompkins, shocked the gang beyond expectations, forcing them to hunt her down and bring her on Pod Meets World. Listen in as Darlene recalls her time on the show, digs deep into her Back to the Future II stardom and talks honestly about her time all over television.

We all know about that fateful day on the Boy Meets World set that found Danielle Fishel as the replacement, and new, Topanga Lawrence. But ever since finding out that she wasn’t the first girl hired for the role, we’ve been begging to hear the OTHER perspective. And after a recent recap episode reminded the gang of the original actress’s name - well, here we are. Find out what it was like to be fired from a role you were destined to play, how she dealt with never being able to escape “the Barbie girl” and how she’s since become the most interesting human in the world.

In 1994, a young actor named Rider Strong made the professional decision to star in the ABC teen comedy, Summertime Switch.

Is it a Friday? Or a Tuesday at least? Either way, thank God that Andrea Barber, a.k.a. Kimmy Gibbler, is joining the gang to reminisce about the glorious ‘90s. Andrea reveals what it’s like to not have any memories from before acting, the biggest difference between her and Kimmy and who in her family just doesn’t appreciate her work.

We’ve come to the end of Season 2 - and you know what that means!

It’s a recap with further analysis on cast dynamics, the difficulty of workplace friendships and how the hosts feel now about being teenage heartthrobs of desire. Let’s take one last look back on our first year at John Adams High School…See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Danielle, Rider and Will have often talked about how the live studio audience was the uncredited, and sometimes most important, member of the Boy Meets World cast. Their laughs and applause could single handedly dictate the strength of an episode. And no members of that audience meant more than the Shere's, lovingly dubbed - "The Stalker Family." A staple in the bleachers, they not only attended almost every taping, they became part of the show's very fabric, both appearing in episodes and becoming close friends with the young stars. And somehow, 30 years later, we've tracked them down. Take a listen to this unlikely, and very emotional, reunion with "Stalker Boy" Adam and "Stalker Girl" Sarah, while we get a rare look into what it was to attend a live Boy Meets World taping as its most important viewer.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Here we are - the end of Season 2! We’ve come a long way since “drop shock” and the warm blanket, as the gang waxes poetic about Shawn’s new stray dog status and the evolution of Mr. Turner. Will has some red flags to point out (and some SATs to study for) and with the tour steadily approaching - what will costume contest winners take home? You might not believe it.It’s a love fest as Danielle, Rider & Will put a bow on their first year at John Adams High. CORRECTION: In this episode, we gave the incorrect director credit, based on repeating an IMDb mistake. “Home” was actually directed by David Kendall. Get your sh*t together, IMDb! We can’t do everything!!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Like Marty McFly traveling to the ‘50s to make sure his parents met, the gang always knew they somehow needed to forever close the Harley Keiner loop to survive. And with this episode’s guest, Kenny Johnston, they found the final puzzle piece. The man who played “The Other Harley” tells HIS side of the story, detailing what he knew, and didn’t know, about replacing Danny at the last minute, and if the cast & crew welcomed him with open arms. It was the weirdest week in BMW history, and he had the privilege of walking right into it. It’s time to shine a light on an actor who will forever be part of BMW folklore.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.Get to listening. You won’t be sorry.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 personal pratfalls and issues with addiction, two obstacles Natanya has inspirationally overcome in her adult life.Natanya opens up in an honest chat about child stardom and what she’s doing now to help others in a similar situation. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 and what blood type is universal. Also, what Mandela Effect affected one of the past recaps?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 again...is not in the episode. And why are none of Rider's students going to hang with him after class? They're missing their very own podcast! Hide in the trash can, it's time for a new recap...See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 a wheelchair? We’re going for the Gold on this new episode of Pod Meets World…See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 the ice!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 Boy Meets World merch?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 very dramatic episode and breakdown the differences between men’s and women’s bathrooms (spoiler: it’s a couch).See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 how the darker side of childhood fame derailed her career, and finances. Plus…over 20 pilots!?!?!We may never get the spin-off we wanted, but at least we have this episode!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 if they didn’t talk about feeling old!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 continues on this Very Special Episode of Pod Meets World…See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 tie, because it’s time to break it down.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 2 parts…See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

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 acting. And we find out exactly when Danielle’s incredible interviewing skills started (spoiler: it was recently). Get your Walkman and giant headphones ready…it’s time for the Interview TapesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 a little chaotic.

When an unfamiliar name popped up during Season 1’s rewatch as the writer of two iconic episodes, the gang knew they what they had to do.
