In 1994, a young actor named Rider Strong made the professional decision to star in the ABC teen comedy, Summertime Switch. And now, 29 years later, it’s time to question that decision.

Andrea Barber Meets World Jun 19, 2023

Show notes

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. Hola Tanneritos, it’s a new Pod Meets World!

Show notes

We’ve come to the end of Season 2 - and you know what that means! It’s the return of Ceej & TC, the hosts of our favorite fan rewatch podcast, Bruh Meets World, to ask the questions our hosts may have missed. 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.

The Stalker Family Meets World Jun 12, 2023

Show notes

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.

TGI - Episode 223 “Home” Jun 08, 2023

Show notes

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!!

Kenny Johnston Meets World Jun 05, 2023

Show notes

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.

TGI - Episode 222 “Career Day” Jun 01, 2023

Show notes

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.

Natanya Ross Meets World May 29, 2023

Show notes

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.

TGI - Episode 221 “THE THRILLA’ IN PHILA’ May 25, 2023

Show notes

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?
