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.

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?

421: Hack and Attacked

In which the NetHeads talk about what actually makes your digital life vulnerable, why most people are unprepared for account loss, and what you can do now to protect yourself before something goes wrong. If you lost access to everything tomorrow… would you be able to get it back?

In this episode of NetHeads, we unpack what happens when tools cross the line from “helpful” to “trusted,” and how that shift changes our relationship with expertise, systems, and authority. 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.
