Rider Strong, Will Friedle, and Danielle Fishel devoted the entirety of their February 19 episode of Pod Meets World to their experiences with Boy Meets World guest star and convicted sexual abuser Brian Peck. The co-hosts were joined by family therapist Kati Morton to discuss the time Friedle said they were “on the wrong side of everything.” Peck guested on two season-five episodes of Boy Meets World and developed a friendship with both Friedle and Strong. The cast felt a need to address Peck because his episodes are coming up in the podcast (the pod’s format is usually more episode-recap-oriented), and because Peck’s story will be featured in an upcoming docuseries about past alleged abuse on multiple Nickelodeon sets. Fishel said both Strong and Friedle were contacted for statements on Peck for this docuseries, Quiet on Set.
