Pod Meets World

Another meeting of the Young Hollywood Support Group is in session, and leading today’s meeting is none other than Busy Phillips!

Busy shares stories from the set of her first show, Freaks & Geeks, where she hung with Linda Cardellini and was encouraged to creatively contribute. Imagine that! 

We also return to Dawson’s Creek, another quintessential ‘90s show she starred in, but mysteriously disappeared i...

Danielle Fishel spent her teenage years inside millions of homes, every Friday night, portraying the iconic Topanga Lawrence on the family sitcom, Boy Meets World. From her first kiss to her first haircut – absolutely everything was caught on camera. Thirty years later, she’s come to the realization that numerous generations have witnessed her most formative (and awkward) years – and now she’s looking to tur...

It’s hard to discuss the importance and cultural impact of Boy Meets World without mentioning the creative enigma that is Ubaldo, the partying nerd in Season 2’s “The Uninvited.” And now the man behind the character speaks, when Phil Glaser joins Pod Meets World.

All jokes aside, Phil’s journey in child acting began in front of Steven Spielberg as the iconic voice of Fievel Mousekewitz in &ldquo...

The Daniettes have gone from ballroom newbies to certified experts - finishing their first ever season of Dancing with the Stars!

The boys look back at all eleven episodes of cha-chas and quicksteps in order to pick the best dance of the finale - and decide if the champ actually deserved that Mirrorball after all…

Will and Rider break down the instant dances, the show stopping freestyles, and why choosing a song with a curse...

There’s no harder working crew on TV than the fast-paced, always-on-call team behind Dancing with the Stars. And arguably, no one is under more pressure than the costume department.

Tasked with creating dozens of new outfits every week, it’s no surprise this team has seen its share of award show nominations. And helping lead the pack - costumer Daniela Gschwendtner! 
Hear all about her creative process and how e...

It’s Thanksgiving, and we’re making the trip from TGIF to to Must See TV for a recap of the beloved Friends episode,  “The One with the Rumor” (which you probably know as the “The One with Brad Pitt.”)

While planning a feast with Ross, Rachel, Chandler, Monica, Phoebe and Joey, the gang tries to figure out which “Friend” reminds them most of Will…and realize there&r...

All good things must come to an end…even if you’re too busy foxtrotting to notice. Dancing with the Stars has crowned its new champion, but before the votes were counted, Danielle found herself back in the ballroom for one last dance!

Learn all about last week’s group rehearsals, when every eliminated contestant returned for the season finale. And also - did Dylan somehow find a way to strategize again?

Matt Johnson is one of Hollywood’s brightest up-and-coming writer / directors with an already long list of creatively inspiring work, but above all else - he’s a Boy Meets World super fan! 

Matt joins Pod Meets World to explain how Eric Matthews is to thank for almost everything he’s ever made and why filming his cult classic TV show (and upcoming movie), “Nirvanna The Band the Show,” was only pos...

It’s the semifinals and ANYTHING could (and did) happen! And thanks to Prince night, Rider has his own shocking revelation - he may like the Jive after all.

We’re pulling for Dylan, but could he pull it together?? Our predictions for who’s going home are getting tougher and tougher, while Will takes us on a journey through this less than intense vocal warm-up routine.

Plus, on top of trying to figure...

We’re just days away from the Season 34 finale of DWTS so Danielle is sitting down with a Mirrorball champ and the man who now sees it all - Alfonso Ribeiro!

Halloween may be in the rear view, but we’re not ready to give up on the spookiest time of the year. The gang is returning to the TGIF-verse for a rare TV sitcom sequel in the form of  Family Matters, Stevil 2: This Time He’s Not Alone!

How does this second installment hold up to the original? Does it e...

“The Child Star Club” is back in session! The gang is hanging out with Madeline Zima (a.k.a. Grace on “The Nanny”), whose Hollywood career started at the ripe old age of 28 months, and has never slowed down.

It’s a somber week for the Daniettes, but they must cha cha on for the star-studded 20th Anniversary episode of Dancing with the Stars. 

Rider experiences a total 180, somehow finding excitement in a Danielle-less episode, even wondering if this was his week favorite yet!

We get into possible Mormon Wives conspiracy theories, some clarity on judging logic and why Derek Hough is the most deserving critic on the panel.

It’s a dream come true for Will Friedle, with the smell of mashed potatoes and turkey in the air, the holiday trip down themed episodes continues, now with an 8th season Thanksgiving script of M*A*S*H.

We hear a scholarly dissertation on the strengths of the early years of the show, the laugh track negotiations and how it seamlessly swapped out the main cast by season 8. 

Rider is upset with all the upset tummies, but ca...
