    Love the interviews
    This is a fun podcast that brings me back to childhood days. The show recaps are good with all the behind the scenes commentary, but the interviews with 90’s sitcom celebs are the best. Keep this one going. Also, Will rules.
  • bryce tolbert
    My god the ads
    This show is almost unlistenable because there’s almost literally ads every 2 minutes. And they are loooooong. It’s miserable

    Too many ads
    I love the nostalgia and the dynamics among the hosts. I also love the scripted moment by moment recaps from the episodes themselves. However, three minutes of ads every five minutes makes this unlistenable.
  • go4hockeychick
    Great content, too many ads
    This show was amazing when it started, and when they’re actually talking it’s still great. But half the pod is ads now, and it’s just way way way too much. Tone down the ads and get back to what you used to be: a great podcast.
  • yahir1018
    Sheesh guys
    I get it guys you are actor and have a different way to look at the show today but stop killing the vibe
  • v.r boy
    Too many ads!!!
    The ads are out of control! They’ve gotten longer and are getting in the way of enjoying the podcast because even if you fast forward you have to fast forward so much!! The actual podcast itself is way shorter and it feels like the ads are most of the show. Super frustrating and annoying guys!!
  • SlimSammie
    Smiling
    I can’t help but smile and laugh out loud when listening. This is by far my favorite podcast, listening to the 3 of them laugh makes me so happy and I love everything they talk about- from the pre show banter to the episode recap; I am hooked. Thank you

    I love listening, BUT. Y’all have wayyyy too many adds it’s frustrating. I do fast forward them but dang calm down with the adds. I kinda feel like since the podcast I’ve looked at BMW differently since y’all have so many negative memories.
  • becca sara
    It wasn’t a trap
    Topanga said I don’t wanna be with someone who doesn’t choose me. Cory didn’t choose her. He chose Lauren. Topanga was clear with what she wanted. The writers on the other hand screwed Topanga over with the line and you went through with it. The line they should’ve gave her at the end was supposed to be I told you if you chose her, we would be done.
  • Ttheta
    PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF PETE stop releasing Magical Rewind on the PMW Feed
    It’s been months. If I wanted to listen to that show, I’d subscribe to it! Also, Topanga totally set a trap. I got so frustrated with Will and Danielle talking about the writers “throwing her under the bus” Ok…but it doesn’t matter what the writers did or not do. It is what ended up in the show. I’ve watched this series over and over as a kid to an adult and never did I think it was not a trap.
  • Donk4lyf
    Great pod, annoying ads
    Great podcast but there are a lot of really annoying ads. Fortunately though, you can just hit the 30 second fast forward button a few times and skip right through them.

    Was it a trap?
    It wasn’t a trap. If he wanted to be with her- he wouldn’t have stayed with Lauren. Plain and simple. She walked out the door he stayed with the other girl. Decision was made. Period. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

    Review
    It’s hard to believe how long I’ve been listening to this, since the summer of senior year of high school and now I’m a sophomore in college. Growing up with girl meets world, and falling in love with boy meets world years later makes it feel like I don’t remember life before it. Thank you for being apart of my commute, my workouts, and clearing my mind. Listening to the latest episode made me so thankful for such funny, interesting hosts. You guys make this podcast so cohesive and easy to listen too. I see a lot of reviews on the amount of ads which is something EVERY podcast has to incorporate to make income, nothing new. Love you guys and the pod!! Praying for you Danielle and your recovery🙏

    Five star podcast, 0 star additions
    I subscribed to pod meets world but I’m getting a podcast about Disney show movies, with the PMW cover art, in my feed? If I wanted that, I’d subscribe. As much as I love the podcast I can’t multitasking with it because of the ads. There are so many, they’re so long, and recently in a language I don’t speak. I no longer listen to every episode because I don’t have the time to babysit the playback
  • Lila cherry
    Ehhh
    I really like this podcast and hearing my favorite shows characters analyze the episodes. Though feels a little bit like a cash grab due to all the ads which is sooo annoying!
  • Fun play alone
    Ok at first but Rider is so annoying
    I really loved it at first but Rider is so annoying. He whines about everything, makes everything so political and allows his liberal-ness color everything he says. It’s just obnoxious to the point I can barely enjoy it anymore. Just let a fun show be a fun show.
  • BroylsieS
    Having Candace Cameron Bure was a bad choice
    I was binging this show SO hard and truly enjoying it, even through all the Hyundai Ionic 5 ads!! Then I saw this gross human's name and I thought “oh, it was before we all learned that’s she’s gross.” I checked the date of when they interviewed her and realized that I can’t stomach listening/supporting the show anymore. It was a choice to ASK someone who actively excluded and hates on specific groups to be in this show and they should have known it would cost followers. I’ve thought about this a lot before reviewing and I just think it needs to be said so that producers hear it.
  • Iiiihnnhgv
    Whiny former child stars
    If you want to listen to the stars of a show you loved as a kid tell you how much they dislike the show then this is the podcast for you. And I just had to fast forward through a 7 minute ad break. That’s just absurd.
  • Aaron_Long
    Familiar, positive, comforting
    I just read other reviews I relate to so much that it prompted it me to add my own.. Like many others (it seems), I’ve had a difficult year and have been so thankful for this podcast being there through it all. Listening to Pod Meets World sort of feels like having friends over to talk, laugh, and forget about things for a while. Times when I don’t have many friends around and am dealing with a lot on my own, playing an episode of PMW always helps perk me up. I have to thank Danielle, Rider, and Will for how candid and vulnerable they’ve been. It’s allowed fans like myself to feel a connection to the pod that’s similar to what we felt while watching BMW growing up. I’m looking forward to more episodes and whatever else the group decides to do in the future! And again, thank you to the whole PMW team!
  • erinleslie313
    Favorite podcast of all time
    Might sound dramatic, but this podcast is just the best. I love the relationship these 3 have, it’s absolutely palpable for the listeners and they do such a great job of combining interesting criticism with cool behind the scenes information and stories. I just love it. The best sitcom and the best people! The pre show chatter is fabulous, even after they’re done reviewing all the episodes of BMW, I really hope they continue the pod just chatting about whatever! We’re all invested now!!

    A note on coping
    I listen to a lot of very good podcasts, but this is the first time I’ve ever felt compelled to write a review. I’ve had a really weird couple of years, dealing with domestic abuse and recovering from addiction. Pod Meets World has been there for me in some of my darkest moments, kind of like how Boy Meets World was there for me in my childhood, but also completely differently. Grown-up Danielle, Rider, and Will are somehow even more magnetic than their teenage counterparts, especially as a trio—Will the id, Rider the ego, and Danielle the super-ego, or something like that, maybe. Spending time with these people makes me feel safe and alive, and like when I am ready to meet the world again, the world might meet me back.

    A nostalgic high
    Boy meets world was the first show I ever watched from episode one to episode done when it aired in the 90s. When I found this podcast I knew I had to give it a try and I’m happy that I did! I binge listened to every episode in a little over a month. Listening to it a second time now and actually following along by rewatching the episodes on Disney+ this go around.
  • RiseUpMike
    Elite show.
    If you’ve listened to other podcasts, you know how special this one is. Do people really not realize they can skip the ads? It’s not that hard, stop being lazy!
  • Booington Bear
    Usually pretty good…
    I usually really like this podcast. However, the commentary on The Last Tango in Philly episode was really disappointing. Will is apparently a DL men’s rights activist. Danielle exclaiming that the men who exhibit weaponized incompetence “don’t mean it.” What a strange episode. Very pick me of Danielle and bitter of Will. Poor men need to have things explained to them like they’re toddlers and also be given the same grace as toddlers because “they don’t mean it.” Gross and disappointing.
  • Love it😇
    Love it so much
    It’s the best I wasn’t alive when the show was on but it’s awesome to watch no matter how old you are great cast great show great storylines amazing amazing amazing
  • Joshua LeBreton
    Love it!
    Love this show! They are 3 great hosts! Very nostalgic and great views and thoughts about past episodes. BTS stuff and fun guests!
  • vilacron
    This fills my tv junkie loving heart
    Their banter is becoming my favorite part of the podcast now. Also, there’s a fast forward button to skip the ads.
  • spazman313
    Amazing!
    We love and need more of this! More chatter please.
  • Tyhoefling
    Commercials
    Ads are getting way out of hand. It’s 30% of the episode for Christ sake
  • Nich0le W
    MY GO TO PODCAST 💯
    Listen, I’m a huge nerd and massive fan of nostalgia, so this podcast is IT for me! I have followed along every single week since they began this marvelous journey a couple years ago! It’s something i have to look forward to week after week, and although we’re strangers, i feel such a connection to will, Danielle and rider, and i sincerely appreciate their (and jenson’s) time and effort for giving all of us fans such a special gift. I love you all, Pod review dismissed. 😎💯
  • Aphili
    Can’t support
    It’s so sad how these people who are role models supported a c.p., victim blame, and are so unapologetic. Will at least seems sorry. Rider not so much. Doesn’t Rider have a son? What if it was his child this happened to. Obviously he had no problem spending time with him socially, and still Isn’t showing genuine remorse. In the moment, reasons for the original support, after hearing lies from Brian, whatever..but as an adult..knowing the truth? Really?? Do better. Money isn’t the most important thing. With friends like these.., well you know the rest.
  • cake face!
    i listen to this all the time. changed my life
    as a 16 year old who watched boy meets world as a freshman, this podcast gave me a vast interest in the film industry. i really appreciate all their commentary on not only the good things that the show does but also their criticisms on it. Boy meets world portrayed relevant issues with a laugh out loud script but this podcast showed me that there are things it could have done better and i love that i can see that now. also rider strong’s wife was in The Fosters!! Alex is such a good actress and rider strong just seems like the most cutesy, mindful, and demure guy ever. Plus they have the cutest son ever so how could u not love him and his whole family? the bad reviews i see of this podcast are people who strictly care about behind the scenes of episodes and people extremely annoyed by the ads. but i love hearing them simply debrief episodes while discussing performances and scripts. the ads are also just goofy. its not a deal breaker you can just skip them. i memorized some of them though cuz they’re so silly. the hosts are always so giddy and they just make u want to be in the room with them. i know there’s lots of controversy with what they’ve done in the past but i believe they are beautiful people at the heart and others need to be more understanding about situations that people are put through.
  • Toxic Listener
    So many ads!
    This many ads can’t really be necessary.
  • Dementia316
    Ugh!
    STOP SAYING ENSORCELLED!!!!
  • Journey717
    ❤️❤️❤️
    I appreciate the three hosts' honesty and opposing viewpoints. It’s refreshing that they are critical when they do not like something or when they watch their performances. I also enjoyed the guests that they had on and they were not afraid to take a deep dive into their personal lives with the therapist. I don't think you'll be disappointed if you love BMW as much as I do!
  • PackasnackLodge
    A Breath of Fresh Air
    The episodes where they have special guests are great. Adam Scott, Blake Clark, Bruce Prichard, Dom Irrera, Jason Marsden, Larisa Oleynik, Jodie Sweetin, Andrea Barber, Christine Lakin, Melissa Joan Hart have been my favorites so far. The hosts keep the conversations entertaining. I do agree with reviewers about the amount of ads. Maybe if there were more variety or different/alternate recordings of the same company it wouldn’t seem as ad-heavy. The podcast itself has been fantastic so far. Hope they’re enjoying it and keep it going for a long time. Happy to have a refreshing podcast to follow again.
  • Miglionico
    Good show, way too many ads.
    I know they want money for doing the podcast, but it’s like 15 minutes of ads per episode.
  • Princess Thickness
    Maggie Lawson Meets World
    The 1st couple of minutes had me emotional. Danellie you’ll be okay. God will get you through.
  • Emailko
    Meh meets world
    I was so excited for this one but it’s pretty awful. The three leads are so self-centered and don’t want to talk to their guests about anything except how great they are. Especially after the allegations that they were bullies, every episode with a special guest is just “we were nice to you, right?” and “tell us your favorite thing about working with us!” The episode recaps are just recaps with little behind the scenes info - it’s “hey there’s so and so, the extra!” or “I don’t remember filming this!” or “what is he/she even wearing?!” Skip this one.
  • KBMC2013
    Pod Meets Ads
    The podcast itself is great. I enjoy hearing their memories and takes on the episodes as well as the behind the scenes stories, but my god the ads! They’re endless! Frequent and LONG ad breaks where they repeat the same ads over and over. I understand that the bills need to get paid, but sometimes it feels like there are more ads than show. Edit: Also, giving Candace Cameron a platform?!? Really?!? Yuck! Rider- I expected better from you! 😟
  • FenderFan88
    Be sensible
    It's getting more and more annoying how the trio goes "woke" with each episode. Chick Like Me was an exception but when they treat the Fraternity Row cross-dressing plot as some serious attempt at progressive television, instead of the joke it's clearly intended to be, they not only undermine the humor of their own show but their own intelligence which makes us as the audience take them less sincerely as hosts. I know things are different now, but don't "act dumb" and pretend you can't see that all the bromance and gay insinuations are meant to be jokes (and still funny ones, at that, despite what modern culture thinks.)
  • Jimbanko1
    Love the show, hate the ads
    If the show had a reasonable amount of ads, 5 stars. The. Forcing the magical rewind on us, another ad. Funny thing is, will is the best part of the show. Funny, smart and witty, but I don’t care about the subject of his other podcast. Fix this stuff and you’ll be great. Don’t, and it’s confirmed money speaks more than the listeners.
  • 12345786566(:46
    Terrible
    It is just Danielle literally reading the episode script and Rider and Will interjecting random thoughts about why it doesn’t make sense. It’s not meant to be a closely analyzed script, just enjoy the story and the characters. It’s honestly annoying how much they nick pick at every little comment and action. Most 90s sitcoms are just a continuity disaster and if that’s what you keep focusing on then why even watch?
