Pod Meets World

When it comes to iconic ‘90s TV roles, it’s difficult to top Winnie Cooper - and the actress who gave the character life, Danica McKellar, is just as impressive!  Danica shares the story of how she landed the beloved gig on The Wonder Years at just 12 years old and why many of her co-stars were just pieces of tape. And after a deep discussion comparing Winnie and Topanga, and their similar first IRL kisses, we learn how Danica found a new sense of purpose and identity after taking…a math class.
