Lynn McCracken Meets World

iHeartPodcasts
About this episode

Apparently, talent runs in the family - and we’re not talking about the Matthews! Lynn McCracken served as stage manager AND director on Boy Meets World, alongside her brother Jeff, and now she’s ready to share all her behind-the-scenes stories. 

 

Lynn takes us through her career from working in high fashion to shows like Ellen and 8 Simple Rules - plus a complex time on BMW.

 

Plus, Lynn reveals what she learned from another beloved former podcast guest, director David Trainer, and why Season 6’s “Santa’s Little Helpers” was both exciting…and nerve wracking!
