Pod Meets World

That's not my name! That's not my name! 
Would Minkus mean as much to you if his name was Stuart Lempke??? Rider's got some serious BTS on a name change you never knew about.

Speaking of BTS, the final scene in this episode is ultimately how Will Friedle became Eric Matthews, and you won’t believe the process he went through to land the role.

Will, Rider and Danielle reminisce about seeing Aerosmith live together, but being too young to see the actual concert...

He may have only been on the show for one season, but Lee Norris, aka Stuart Minkus, has lived in our hearts for decades.

Lee sits down with Danielle, Rider & Will to talk about the ups and down of child stardom, the life lessons he learned from being on BMW and what it’s like surviving a huge earthquake after just moving to California...

Topanga is finally here!!!! The future Mr. and Mrs. Cory Matthews meet for the first time as they are teamed up for a school project.
Danielle, Rider, and Will are joined by writer, producer and director extraordinaire, David Trainer to discuss Episode 4. This is the one where Topanga does her iconic dance and Cory has hair issues...

One of the masterminds responsible for giving the world Danielle Fishel as Topanga is here.

David Trainer, a prolific and legendary television director and producer, spotted Danielle Fishel on the BMW set and knew he had found the perfect Topanga! The only issue was - she wasn’t originally cast in that role.

The actress formerly known as “Fish Girl” became Topanga and the rest is history...

Should Mr. Feeny have let Cory retake his test OR was he teaching him a valuable lesson?!

As Danielle, Rider and Will are digging in to Episode 3 they share their memories of costar Willie Garson. Willie is known to many as Stanford Blatch on Sex and the City but on Pod Meets World he is known as Leonard Spinelli.

Cringy or Classic? Cory makes a risqué joke about his parents… too much for a 12 year old?!

For us, they will always be Topanga, Eric, and Shawn. The year is 1993 and three future BFF's were meeting for the first time.  Danielle Fishel, Will Friedle, and Rider Strong never could have envisioned that being cast in a new sitcom for ABC would change their lives forever and bring new meaning to TGIF.  This is how it all began...and how it looks now.
