The time for Season 3 has arrived! Will the transition be smooth or are we in for another Shock Drop? The Summer is officially over and it appears Cory and Topanga are finally set to become official? Well, unless Shawn gets to her first.

Darlene Vogel Meets World
Just days away from the start of Season 3 recaps, there’s just one last piece of unfinished business from the gang’s Freshman year at John Adams High School that needs attending to. It was during the rewatch that actress Darlene Vogel, and her nuanced, yet vital, role as Katherine “Kat” Tompkins, shocked the gang beyond expectations, forcing them to hunt her down and bring her on Pod Meets World. Listen in as Darlene recalls her time on the show, digs deep into her Back to the Future II stardom and talks honestly about her time all over television. And…we reunite two former lovers that give the final word on whether or not 4 months is too early to talk marriage. Join us in the teacher’s lounge for this fun, and candid, interview!

Bonnie Morgan Meets World
We all know about that fateful day on the Boy Meets World set that found Danielle Fishel as the replacement, and new, Topanga Lawrence. But ever since finding out that she wasn’t the first girl hired for the role, we’ve been begging to hear the OTHER perspective. And after a recent recap episode reminded the gang of the original actress’s name - well, here we are. Find out what it was like to be fired from a role you were destined to play, how she dealt with never being able to escape “the Barbie girl” and how she’s since become the most interesting human in the world. Telling her story for the first time ever - it’s actress, contortionist and the very FIRST Topanga: Bonnie Morgan. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In 1994, a young actor named Rider Strong made the professional decision to star in the ABC teen comedy, Summertime Switch. And now, 29 years later, it’s time to question that decision. Before we dive into Season 3, it’s time to go the movies! Hear what Danielle and Will think of the film after their first watch, and how much Rider remembers from his days at the Detention Camp.

Andrea Barber Meets World
Is it a Friday? Or a Tuesday at least? Either way, thank God that Andrea Barber, a.k.a. Kimmy Gibbler, is joining the gang to reminisce about the glorious ‘90s. Andrea reveals what it’s like to not have any memories from before acting, the biggest difference between her and Kimmy and who in her family just doesn’t appreciate her work.

The Stalker Family Meets World
Danielle, Rider and Will have often talked about how the live studio audience was the uncredited, and sometimes most important, member of the Boy Meets World cast. Their laughs and applause could single handedly dictate the strength of an episode. And no members of that audience meant more than the Shere's, lovingly dubbed - "The Stalker Family." A staple in the bleachers, they not only attended almost every taping, they became part of the show's very fabric, both appearing in episodes and becoming close friends with the young stars. And somehow, 30 years later, we've tracked them down. Take a listen to this unlikely, and very emotional, reunion with "Stalker Boy" Adam and "Stalker Girl" Sarah, while we get a rare look into what it was to attend a live Boy Meets World taping as its most important viewer.

TGI - Episode 223 “Home”
Here we are - the end of Season 2! We’ve come a long way since “drop shock” and the warm blanket, as the gang waxes poetic about Shawn’s new stray dog status and the evolution of Mr. Turner. Will has some red flags to point out (and some SATs to study for) and with the tour steadily approaching - what will costume contest winners take home? You might not believe it. It’s a love fest as Danielle, Rider & Will put a bow on their first year at John Adams High. CORRECTION: In this episode, we gave the incorrect director credit, based on repeating an IMDb mistake. “Home” was actually directed by David Kendall. Get your sh*t together, IMDb! We can’t do everything!! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kenny Johnston Meets World
Like Marty McFly traveling to the ‘50s to make sure his parents met, the gang always knew they somehow needed to forever close the Harley Keiner loop to survive. And with this episode’s guest, Kenny Johnston, they found the final puzzle piece. The man who played “The Other Harley” tells HIS side of the story, detailing what he knew, and didn’t know, about replacing Danny at the last minute, and if the cast & crew welcomed him with open arms. It was the weirdest week in BMW history, and he had the privilege of walking right into it. It’s time to shine a light on an actor who will forever be part of BMW folklore.

TGI - Episode 222 “Career Day”
It’s time to meet the parents, as this all-time favorite episode finally details Shawn’s home life and introduces us to Topanga’s (first) dad. Listen to the gang’s initial impressions of Blake Clark, the emo evolution of Shawn’s storylines and Mr. Turner as a father figure. And just when they get to Matthew Nelson’s first script, another beloved member of the Boy Meets World family is remembered. Get to listening. You won’t be sorry.

Natanya Ross Meets World
She played Ingrid Iverson, a favorite from our Season 2 rewatch of “Turnaround,” and now actress Natanya Ross joins the gang for a new episode of Pod Meets World. Natanya started her acting career at just 6 months old and, in addition to BMW, found success on The Secret World of Alex Mack and The Baby-Sitters Club. But unfortunately, early attention in Hollywood sometimes finds itself lost in personal pratfalls and issues with addiction, two obstacles Natanya has inspirationally overcome in her adult life. Natanya opens up in an honest chat about child stardom and what she’s doing now to help others in a similar situation. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

TGI - Episode 221 “THE THRILLA’ IN PHILA’
It's time to recap one of the most memorable episodes of Boy Meets World, "The Thrilla' in Phila'" - a surreal romp that introduces Vader to canon and features a rather random Robert Goulet cameo. What do they remember from this wild day of filming and, more importantly, does Yasmie Bleeth remember anything? Learn how they rehearsed the wrestling scene, how the transition to Griff is progressing and what blood type is universal. Also, what Mandela Effect affected one of the past recaps?

TGI - Episode 220 “Pop Quiz”
We're in the homestretch of Season 2 and it's time to introduce Griff to the cast - welcoming the great, and very cool, Adam Scott to Boy Meets World (hopefully with a hug). When Cory and Shawn find a way to cheat, their morality comes under fire, while Mr. Turner sheds the tie for a very tight tank top. The gang is impressed with how this episode appears to come together, even if Topanga once again...is not in the episode. And why are none of Rider's students going to hang with him after class? They're missing their very own podcast! Hide in the trash can, it's time for a new recap... See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

TGI - Episode 219 “Wrong Side of the Tracks”
Where to begin with “Wrong Side of the Tracks?” Sure, there’s a new, unexplained Harley and a world class ice skater cameo, but the cast sure seems to be getting more comfortable AND we see the breadcrumbs of Shawn & Turner.

Jodie Sweetin Meets World
It’s a Full House as Will, Rider and Danielle welcome Stephanie Tanner herself, Jodie Sweetin, to PMW! They reminisce about running Hollywood as the childhood actors of the hottest TGIF shows, including the glorious highs and the darkest lows that came along with it. But most importantly, did someone pee their pants on the set of Danielle and Jodie’s Kooshlings commercial?? And why was there no Boy Meets World merch?

TGI - Episode 218 “By Hook or by Crook”
We’ve hit our first “Finals Week,” which means someone other than Cory gets the heavy lifting - and this time it’s Will. When a new tutor offers to help Eric cheat on Mr. Feeny’s test, he wants to be seen as more than a bimbo. Also, the foundation is finally laid for a Turner / Shawn connection - while the Cory / Topanga romance is just a :30 second afterthought. Join the gang as they analyze a very dramatic episode and breakdown the differences between men’s and women’s bathrooms (spoiler: it’s a couch). See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
