Julie Yang Silver Meets World Mar 02, 2026

Show notes

When it comes to Boy Meets World, even our memories are draped in oversized flannels, wool blazers with elbow patches and vests layered over short sleeve shirts layered over long sleeve shirts. And one talented crew member to thank for those decisions in fashion is Emmy-nominated costumer Julie Yang Silver.

The gang catches up with their pal from the wardrobe department to talk all about her legendary career amongst the clothing racks and their memories of hanging out in her trailer in between takes.

Julie also shares her thoughts on the problematic clothing decisions for Danielle in Season 7 and some BTS moments from her time in Vegas for the movie Ocean’s Eleven, and in a galaxy far, far away for The Mandalorian.

Great wardrobe never goes out of style! And neither does new episode of Pod Meets World!

Pod Meets Twirl'd: Survivor 5001 PART 1 Feb 28, 2026

Show notes

They’ve cha cha’d across the ballroom and been faithful in a castle, but can Will & Rider outwit, outplay and outlast as they take the challenge of Survivor season 50?

Will’s ONLY seen the inaugural season, 26 years ago, but Rider is a longtime diehard, so could either of our hosts actually last for 20 days on the island??

Either way, Rider fills in Will on what he’s missed over the past 49 seasons, while they both give flowers to a true master of the hosting craft: Jeff Probst.

And they can’t tackle a 3-hour premiere with just one episode, so don’t miss the second part of the first Pod Meets Twirl’d Seeking Immunity, because the tribe has spoken!

Jonathan Lipnicki Meets World Feb 23, 2026

You can’t revisit the ‘90s without calling Jonathan Lipnicki! Between Jerry Maguire and Stuart Little, he defined two of the most iconic characters of the decade, and now he’s ready to share some memories with Danielle, Will and Rider.

Jonathan talks about launching his acting career at just five years old, learning how to read screenplays (while also learning how to read in general) and the lengths he took to protect his valuable face while playing sports in school.

And when looking for Tom Cruise, Jonathan does NOT disappoint. I mean, do you even know about the “Tom Cruise cake?”

So catch up with the only actor in Hollywood who co-starred with a CGI mouse AND has a black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu - right here on Pod Meets World!
