Pod Meets World

It’s time to talk to Boy Meets World’s most famous background actor!  Before he was Kumar, before he became a doctor on “House” and before he met your mother, Kal Penn found his way onto our favorite ‘90s sitcom - even though you probably never knew it. Kal joins the gang to share his memories from the Season 4 episode, “Quiz Show,” and talk about his time as an extra breaking into Hollywood (he even walked around another TGIF classic). From White Castle to the White House, this week the gang talks to one of the most inspirational guests yet. And also, does Barack Obama know what Boy Meets World is?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It’s senior year at John Adams High, and the gang is graduating - just in time for another Pod Meets World Draft! Season 5 had some of the best episodes of the series (and some of the worst), so it’s sure to be a fierce competition. Is the Scream episode a sure-fire first pick? Will someone draft “Starry Night” as a joke? And what the hell is left in these last two seasons? In the end, YOU get to choose the best lineup! Cast your votes on our Instagram, @PodMeetsWorldShow, for who had the best drafts. We need your help!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ready, set, skate! Will and Sabrina are watching “Go Figure” starring Jordan Hinson, Whitney Sloan and Cristine Rose.This film premiered in 2005 as a Disney Channel Original Movie. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When it comes to quintessential TGIF interviews, this week, we DID do that. We’re jumping across the ABC multiverse to the world of “Family Matters” to hang out with Steve Urkel himself…Jaleel White! The gang bonds with Jaleel over their experience growing up on a sitcom and find out why he was skeptical of a “Family Matters” reboot! Urkel started as a guest star and grew to become the face of the network, an unbelievable transition he details in his brand new memoir! Plus, we hear (what his NDA allows) about his new Star Wars role in Skeleton Crew, on a new, ‘90s fever dream, Pod Meets World!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How did we miss this? It’s probably old age. We somehow forgot to have a Season 4 draft, so…better late than never! Danielle, Will and Rider once again go head to head, this time to choose their favorite Season 4 episodes in an attempt to win YOUR votes. Who will score the sweet sounds of Shallow Boy? Who will recruit the emotional crossroads of Fishing for Virna? And who will venture into the mind of a Chick Like Me? And most importantly, can Will turn this thing around??? As always, we’re taking your votes on who has the best lineup. Make your voice heard on Instagram @PodMeetsWorldShow and tell us who came out victorious!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What time is it? HSM 2 time! Will and Sabrina are watching “High School Musical 2” starring Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale and Corbin Bleu. This film premiered in 2007 as a Disney Channel Original Movie. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It’s the final show of 2024 and our hosts are closing out the year with a bang (at 7:30 PM). Find out what’s taking Danielle to Vegas for only one night and why Rider is renting a camper van in New Zealand. And Will might attend the most glamorous New Year’s Eve party of all, as we close the book on yet another year of Pod Meets World!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We’ve lit a fire, we’ve poured some hot chocolate and we’ve got a special holiday surprise from your favorite high school teacher!  William Daniels, a.k.a. Mr. Feeny, is here to recite the classic poem, The Night Before Christmas, and bring some iconic cheer to the holiday season… Merry Christmas, everyone!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Before we say a final goodbye to John Adams High and graduate to Pennbrook, the gang is taking one last look at the controversial season 5 with Ceej and Tony from their favorite fancast, “Bruh Meets World!” The season had a rough start, but still had some bangers! Find out which episodes worked, and which ones completely missed the mark.  And they return to “And Then There Was Shawn” (because it deserves it), and dive deep into the challenges of watching BMW in a modern context versus its original run on TGIF. It's time to continue the tradition with Bruh Meets World - on a season finale of Pod Meets World!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We’ve made it! We've earned our diplomas and now it’s time to leave not only John Adams high, but also - Boy Meets World, Season Five. Some familiar faces have returned for class, but one show favorite didn't quite get the respectful send-off he deserved. And even though it was a joyous celebration, that didn’t stop WIll and Matt from pulling a prank during rehearsal! And with a big, yet somewhat disappointing, graduation speech, the gang wonders if Shawn was the actual star of this season, while Will details how his "To Sir" close-up, and two very special cameos, came together. And Topanga has made her big decision, giving the show its biggest cliffhanger yet! The gang knows they're in for a new era of BMW - but it all starts with this season finale rewatch on Pod Meets World...See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
