Before we continue our journey through season 6, we’re rewinding and heading back to the halls of John Adams High! And one of our favorite poetically inclined bullies is coming along for the trip. Ethan Suplee is back to recap the season 2 premiere episode, and his first acting job EVER, “Back 2 School”. Ethan opens up about the nerves of joining an already established cast and the ever present fear he’d be fired at any moment. He reveals why his relationship with the other bullies felt like being in a “jail cell” (in the best way), and we get real about how much of Ethan is in Frankie Stecchino. Plus, Shiloh Strong joins us to talk about his newest charitable venture, all on this week’s Pod Meets World!

Apparently, talent runs in the family - and we’re not talking about the Matthews! 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.
