Pod Meets World

We’ve once again asked for voice memos from YOU, the listeners, about a “very special episode” of Boy Meets World that was so controversial, it was banned from The Disney Channel. And now it’s time to hear your opinions on “If You Can’t Be with the One You Love!” Should it have been banned? Or should it have aired to instill fear in children everywhere? Our hosts seem to be on the same page, but the audience has a wide array of unique takes that just might sway them… Is it a cautionary tale or a college drinking game? Find out when we lift the ban for a new interactive Pod Meets World!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Since the beginning of the podcast, the gang has been dreading the infamous, Disney Channel banned, Prom night episode. And here we are. Or are we?

And Rider shares some of the behind the scenes drama about *how* to handle the complex issue of ‘90s sex and reveals his attempts to change the script.  Plus, they analyze how Cory, a self confessed invisible dork, somehow won Prom King, on a brand new, formally dressed, Pod Meets World.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hear why child actors were cast for a real-life birthday party, and what happened when Matt yelled “cut!” on a scene he wasn’t directing. This stand-in is a stand up guy, so get to know him on the new Pod Meets World!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
