Lynn McCracken served as stage manager AND director on Boy Meets World, alongside her brother Jeff, and now she’s ready to share all her behind-the-scenes stories.    Lynn takes us through her career from working in high fashion to shows like Ellen and 8 Simple Rules - plus a complex time on BMW.   Plus, Lynn reveals what she learned from another beloved former podcast guest, director David Trainer, and why Season 6’s “Santa’s Little Helpers” was both exciting…and nerve wracking!   Follow @podmeetsworldshow on Instagram and TikTok! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Lace up those mismatched sneakers because the gang is welcoming an icon to Pod Meets World! It’s time for Punky herself - Soleil Moon Frye - to take a trip down memory lane with Danielle, Will & Rider…   Soleil fondly looks back on the legacy of Punky Brewster, her personal connection to the world renown character and the wild world of merchandise that had her pre-teen face all over it.   If you grew up with Punky, or remember the infamous “refrigerator episode,” you won’t want to miss this crossover for the ages.   It’s an all-new podcast, powered off Punky, right here on Pod Meets World!   Follow @podmeetsworldshow on Instagram and TikTok!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When Will revealed his newest obsession, listening to voice actors read “true” stories off Reddit, the gang knew what they had to do.It’s the first ever “It Came From Reddit” episode, where Will, Danielle & Rider put their acting skills to the test, kicking it off with a man who was humiliated at his wedding, but had a plan for revenge ready to go. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We’re pulling over on our road trip through season 6 to revisit some of our favorite Boy Meets World episodes, now with special guests!  First up, BMW Hall of Fame director David Kendall is here to throw it back to season 2, and just like Shawn knocking on Turner’s door, we’re looking for a place to call “Home.” This is the first episode where David served as the director, writer AND showrunner, so he shares some triple threat BTS secrets about how Shawn’s storyline developed over time. David also helps us understand what makes a truly “good” director, and we get an answer on what REALLY was in the brown bag that Kat left at Turners.

Little orphan Tommy is all grown up and joining the podcast! The gang reconnects with an adult JB Gaynor, best known to BMW fans as little Tommy from Season 6. What was meant to be a one-off guest spot, turned into possibly Eric’s most important story arc in the history of the show, and now it’s time to give JB his flowers.   The now scratch golfer shares his memories from set, and how it was much different than working on Frasier. Plus, they revisit his surprise return for Girl Meets World, which apparently features some incredible acting from Danielle.   And, we take another lesson from “Will’s Etiquette Corner,” right here on a new Pod Meets World!
