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 Meets Twirl'd, they decided to share their newfound discovery, and self proclaimed expertise, of unscripted TV and now they'll continue their journey through the genre. The newly formed cultural thought leaders are ready to start recapping, reviewing and rehashing all the hottest reality shows! Even if they've never never seen it before.

 

First up, the show Rider has never heard of and Will THINKS he can win - Traitors!
