The Pod Meets World Half-Draft: Characters Sep 25, 2023

Show notes

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!

TGI – Episode 311 “City Slackers” Sep 21, 2023

Show notes

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!

Susan Estelle Jansen Meets World Sep 18, 2023

Show notes

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.

TGI – Episode 310 “Train of Fools” Sep 14, 2023

Show notes

We’re hopping in a stretch limo (and then a train) to recap a special (or not so special) New Year’s Eve episode of BMW! Rider holds nothing back when he shares his honest opinion on this stand alone farcical romp, while Danielle is still obsessing over a cringe encounter with a celebrity at a recent convention.

The gang shares some behind the scenes stories of how fun this episode was to film…even though it wasn’t filmed in front of a live audience. Also, is Mr. Feeny subway famous?

Plus, Danielle once again finds out one of her most used catchphrases IRL originated in a BMW episode. BUCK UP, BUCKERS - it’s a brand new Pod Meets World!!

Tamara Johnson Meets World Sep 11, 2023

Show notes

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!

TGI – Episode 309 “The Last Temptation of Cory” Sep 07, 2023

Show notes

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...

Mark-Paul Gosselaar Meets World Sep 04, 2023

Show notes

It’s time to answer that huge grey cell phone because Zack Morris has arrived at John Adams High! Mark-Paul Gosselaar is here for the crossover you never imagined!! Mark-Paul shares all his memories from the '90s and the similarities between BMW Season 1 and Good Morning, Miss Bliss. How did the blonde hair haunt him? Why did Mario Lopez actually beat him up in a scene? And how does mentioning James Van Der Beek end up being one of the funniest moments in PMW history?

Plus, Rider crashed into Feeny.

This episode was recorded on June 22, 2023.
