We saw a ton of recognizable, and established, actors stop by Boy Meets World as a guest star through the first 5 seasons of the show - but it’s possible none were as interesting, and inspiring, as this week’s guest. In addition to playing “Jump Master” in the newly G.O.A.T.’d Season 5 episode, “Raging Cory,” this familiar face has worked with Spike Lee, Bong Joon Ho, Wes Anderson and the Coen Bros., where he stole one of the most intensely dramatic (and funny?) scenes in film history. Oh, and did we mention he was a cast member on In Living Color?  He’s legendary, internally evolved and a pioneer when it comes to racial equality and standing up for what you believe in. Even when it’s hard to do.  This week on Pod Meets World - it’s Stephen Park!   Follow @podmeetsworldshow on Instagram and TikTokSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Warning: This episode contains adult language and subject matter. Listener discretion is advised.     With the start of Season 6, the hosts have already clocked a handful of massive changes. From the introduction of Pennbrook to a goofier, funnier Eric to (kinda) new opening credits - and a spankin’ new cast member.   The gang catches up with Maitland Ward, the season’s first guest, to hear the story of how she became the beloved new roommate, Rachel McGuire. But the role didn’t come without some strange wardrobe fittings and traditional newbie hazing!   Plus, she opens up about her spicy post-Boy Meets World career, and Danielle asks a question she’s been wondering since the podcast started. All this on a new, and memorable, Pod Meets World!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The wait is over! The hosts are entering the halls of Pennbrook, leaving behind the naive salad days of John Adams High, and the podcast is officially in its Season 6 era. With a wedding proposal looming from a cliffhanger, and the addition of a new cast member, we have a lot of questions! When did Cory and Topanga ACTUALLY meet? Why can’t they just wait a minute to get married? Does Topanga even remember she was accepted to Yale? Is Eric going to be THIS funny all season long??? Plus, continuing the podcast tradition, we find out what our hosts did as teens during Boy Meets World’s Summer hiatus. And yes, Danielle got a tan.
