    425: AI WAS RIGHT, OUR PODCAST IS THE PROBLEM

    Last month, we released an episode called AI Killed My Podcast and accidentally stumbled into a much bigger experiment than we intended. The internet had opinions. People argued about the title. They argued about the thumbnail. They argued about whether AI could possibly understand what makes content successful. Then the analytics arrived. This week, Will and Trent break down what happened when one of NetHeads' most talked-about episodes generated more clicks, more engagement, and more subscribers than expected—while simultaneously proving a hard truth about content creation in 2026. Along the way, they discuss using AI and analytics tools to make smarter creative decisions, why podcasts continue to struggle on modern platforms, and how creators can better focus their limited time and energy. Also this week: - Lessons learned from the AI Killed My Podcast experiment - Content Creator Corner: optimizing your editing workflow - Daily content creation and the realities of building a channel - The ongoing Mandalorian armor 3D-printing project - Will's surreal experience attending an early screening of The Mandalorian & Grogu and watching it alongside Kevin Smith Patreon Supporter of the Week: Mark Lamb This episode is sponsored by Sliceworx.

    424: AI Killed My Podcast

    After weeks of trying to turn NetHeads into a YouTube growth machine, I finally stopped and asked AI a dangerous question: “Should we even be doing this?” The answer completely changed the future of the show. In this episode, Will talks about why trying to force a long-form podcast into the YouTube algorithm may have been the wrong strategy from the start, how AI helped optimize the show into a dead end, and why NetHeads may be pivoting away from public live podcasting entirely. Also in this episode: Topics Covered: - Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 finale discussion - Building Mandalorian armor before The Mandalorian and Grogu hits theaters - Why short-form content may actually be the future of the channel - Happy S.I.R.

    423: IS TECH RUINING DISNEYLAND?

    We just had one of the BEST Disneyland trips ever… and it wasn’t by accident. Between rope dropping, stacking Lightning Lanes, and following Disney influencer strategies, we barely waited in lines and hit almost every major ride. But it raised a bigger question… Are we actually enjoying these experiences — or just optimizing them? In this episode of NetHeads, we break down how technology, planning, and influencer strategy are changing the way we experience places like Disneyland… and whether “perfect” is actually better. Topics Covered: • Disneyland strategy (rope drop + Lightning Lane stacking) • Influencer-driven travel optimization • Tech vs experience • Are we over-optimizing life?

    422: We're Already Living in Project Hail Mary

    I didn’t expect Project Hail Mary to hit this hard… but it quietly explores something we’re all dealing with right now — how humans and non-humans actually work together. Because whether it’s AI, translation tools, or systems we barely understand… we’re already collaborating with things that don’t think like us. In this episode of NetHeads, we break down why that matters, what it says about the future of AI, and why one fictional alien might explain more about real-world technology than most headlines. If intelligence doesn’t look like us… can we still trust it? Topics Covered: • Human + non-human collaboration • AI communication parallels • Why understanding is greater than control • Future of AI relationships Patreon Supporter of the Week: Mark Lamb Want to hear your name on the show?

    420: AI Outperformed Experts on This One Problem

When machines outperform experts, where does trust actually live? Is AI replacing expertise — or redefining it? PATREON SUPPORTER OF THE WEEK: Thomas Townley

    419: It's All Built on Sand

    It’s never been easier to make content — and never felt more fragile to build an audience. This week on NetHeads, we talk about the uncomfortable reality of the creator economy: platforms can change overnight, audiences aren’t portable, and even massive followings don’t mean stability. From TikTok uncertainty to AI tools like OpusClip, to whether creators should even invest in better gear, we ask the big question: is the creator economy actually built on sand? Do creators really own anything anymore? ►►This episode is sponsored by: SLICEWORX Go to https://www.sliceworx.com/?ref=WILLWILKINS and use the Coupon Code THATWILLWILKINS for up to 5% off your purchase.

    418: Great TV, Bad Capes & Weird 3D Prints

    In which the NetHeads debate whether we’re living in a Golden Age of Television while superhero movies are stuck in their awkward teen phase, check out the latest Kickstarter gadgets designed to separate Will from his money, and reveal a highly questionable “What Is My Purpose?” 3D print. We also ask the big nerd question: do we actually care about the Avengers: Doomsday Clock? ►►Go to https://www.sliceworx.com/?ref=WILLWILKINS and use the Coupon Code THATWILLWILKINS for up to 5% off your purchase.
