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. All this and more on a holiday ready episode of - Pod Meets World!
