    425: AI WAS RIGHT, OUR PODCAST IS THE PROBLEM
    Jun 15 2026
    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
    May 12 2026
    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. Day! Patreon Supporter of the Week: Sean Dempsey Want to hear your name on the show?

    423: IS TECH RUINING DISNEYLAND?
    Apr 19 2026
    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?
