Class is in session! The gang is thrilled to catch up with a real life Mr. Feeny - their on-set teacher: Wesley Staples. A mentor for Danielle and Rider, Wesley visits to reminisce about his time helping the young cast become functioning adults and how vital an educator can be for a rising child star.

From terrible chemistry grades to “pet” cockroaches to how Wesley helped Danielle heal after her break-up with Lance Bass - this one is filed with never heard before stories.
 
There’s not a dry eye in the house when the true spirit of Boy Meets World comes to life, and the presence of another looms, on a very special Pod Meets World…

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. And who knew that Mr. Turner was from…Connecticut?

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.

This episode is a big example of art imitating life, when Rider sees some familiar details in Cory and Topanga’s break-up. AND…that’s not where the similarities end! Rider shares a behind the scenes story of TWO dates visiting him on set at the same time!

Will the gang finally be all-in for Cory and Topanga, thanks to the work of a somewhat jarring, but emotional, montage? And what’s the latest update regarding the awkward Richard Dreyfuss encounter that Danielle still cringes about?

Plus, we hear more hilarious Tony Quinn stories and get an inside look at Will’s infamous “breaking face” on the newest Pod Meets World…

We continue our celebration of getting halfway through Season 3 and (kinda sorta) approaching the halfway point for recaps, by participating in another fierce competitive draft! 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! We’re taking your votes on who has the best episode lineup! Who will win this time? Make your choice on Instagram @podmeetsworldshow…

Danielle, Will and Rider are loading up their Hyundai Tucson for a road trip to Las Vegas! And we’re taking YOU along for the ride - all presented by our good friends at Hyundai.

On the journey, the gang participates in a fan Q&A that ranges from their favorite qualities about each other, to embarrassing moments with celebrities, to Will’s imminent hearing loss.

And some of the questions are a bigger risk than Danielle at the poker table! So tune in and call Shotgun - because we’re going to Vegas, baby!!!!

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!

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!

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.

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!!
