Pod Meets World's Will Friedle & Rider Strong were sitcom stars 30 years ago. The concept of reality TV is honestly pretty foreign to them. But when their best friend Danielle Fishel competed on Dancing with the Stars in 2025, the boys committed to watching their first TV dance competition, and quickly became addicted. And undeniable experts. That is, if you ask them.
With their podcast, Pod M... more

About subjects they know next to nothing about and it’s a freaking delight. This has quickly become my favorite podcast and I could listen to these two talk about anything and everything and I hope they never stop.
I love DWTS and survivor. Every other show they’ve covered I do not watch. But do I still listen the second the episode drops? YUP. Absolutely love these two and hearing their takes on reality TV production, different scenarios, and life in general. It feels like I’m listening to my friends talk!
Will and Rider are some of my favorite voices to listen to and this podcast is incredible - the show they are dropping in on for a season barely matters because the content they put out is always a 10 ⭐️ I’ve lost track of the times I’ve laughed out loud while in a Costco aisle due to something Will has said! And the intros keep getting longer which is absolutely insane 🥂
I hope this show runs for a very long time! I love always having a new show on the go and “discuss” with you. Some I already love but most I’ve never watched and wouldn’t have if you weren’t doing them on your show. I’m glad to hear you’re going to watch the Bachelorette after all, but I can’t imagine you’ll be skipping over Big Brother 28?! Please tell me you’re somehow covering BB as well!!!
I love this, even though I do not care for any of the shows you guys watched (besides DWTS). I would be so excited if you did a show I really love like Below Deck, Real Housewives of SLC (only good franchise in my opinion), or 90 Day Fiancé. But I’ll listen to whatever you guys talk about even if I don’t watch the show. ❤️

A conversational, nostalgia-infused take on unscripted TV, this show features two former child actors who increasingly dive into reality competition coverage, recapping episodes and reacting in real time. They often lean into the social dynamics, editing tricks, and strategy behind popular formats like Survivor, DWTS, and The Traitors, all while maintaining playful banter and a self-aware, fish-out-of-water perspective. Noteworthy is their willingness to explore shows they haven't watched before, turning unfamiliar formats into accessible, entertaining commentary and drawing on deep pop culture memories to frame discussions. This mix—humor, authenticity, and evolving show coverage—likely appeals to reality-TV fans who enjoy friendly debates... more
