PODCAST

The Tyler Woodward Project

The Tyler Woodward Project is a weekly show about the way technology, science, and culture actually collide in real life, told through the lens of an elder millennial who grew up alongside the internet and watched it get corporate. Each episode breaks down the systems, tools, and ideas shaping how we work, communicate, and live, without the buzzwords, posturing, or fake hype. Expect smart, grounded conversations, a bit of sarcasm, and clear explanations that make complex topics feel human and

Trust The Process, Verify The Output

The Tyler Woodward Project ·

2026/02/02

Forget the hype cycle and the hot takes, let’s make AI make sense. We break “AI” into three parts you can actually use: the broad umbrella of intelligent software, machine learning that learns from examples, and generative AI that creates text, images, audio, and code. Then we zoom into large language models like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Copilot, explaining how they predict tokens to produce fluent language and why that fluency isn’t the same as truth. The result is a practical mental mod...

Why Search Feels Worse Now

The Tyler Woodward Project ·

2026/01/26

Search shouldn’t feel like walking into a shopping mall when you asked for a library. We dig into why results seem to have slid downhill: crowded ad units, affiliate-heavy pages, and AI summaries that sound confident while averaging mediocre sources, and what it takes to find real answers again. From a broadcast engineer’s lens, noise rose across the web, and ranking complexity can’t magically create signal. The stakes are bigger than shopping; search is how we fix gear, choose tools, and che...

What To Do When Federal Agents Show Up On Your Block

The Tyler Woodward Project ·

2026/01/25

What would you do if federal agents rolled onto your block? We faced that question head-on as Minneapolis grapples with raids, two fatal shootings in under a month, and parents pulling kids from school. The story is bigger than headlines. It’s about how technology powers enforcement—and how neighbors can flip the same tools to warn, protect, and document when it matters most. We walk through the engine of a rapid response network: how reports come in, how verification works, and how observer...

Dead Internet, Human Costs

The Tyler Woodward Project ·

2026/01/19

Ever scroll past the same joke, the same cropped video, and replies that don’t quite sound human? We dig into why the web can feel hollow without falling for the doomsday take. As a broadcast engineer and Linux nerd, I frame the “dead internet theory” like a signal problem: automation raised the noise floor, ranking systems amplified low-cost content, and honest creators now compete with industrial output that’s optimized for clicks, not clarity. We start by separating the soft claim from the...

A single click shouldn’t feel like a coin toss. We pull back the curtain on what really happens after you hit enter: how your device checks caches, asks DNS for directions, negotiates encryption with TLS, and slices data into packets that hop across routers, fibers, and CDNs before your page assembles on screen. The goal is simple: replace mystery with a clear mental model you can use when things get weird. We walk through the full play by play in plain English, following a request from brows...

Demystifying Wi-Fi: How It Really Works

In this episode of The Tyler Woodward Project, we dive into the invisible world of Wi-Fi, unraveling the complexities of how it truly works. Tyler Woodward, a broadcast engineer and tech enthusiast, breaks down the science behind Wi-Fi signals, the impact of different Wi-Fi standards, and why your internet might be slower in an apartment than in a house. With a touch of humor and clear explanations, Tyler guides you through understanding Wi-Fi's polite nature, the challenges of shared airwaves, and

Airtime, Not Bars: Rethinking Home Wi‑Fi

The Tyler Woodward Project ·

2026/01/05

Your phone shows full bars, but Netflix still buffers. The culprit isn’t your internet plan, it’s the air you share. We unpack Wi‑Fi as radio, why devices politely wait their turn, and how busy evenings throttle performance even when your signal looks strong. By reframing Wi‑Fi as a shared intersection rather than a private lane, you’ll see why placement, bands, and channel choices matter more than the number on the box. We walk through the bands most homes use, 2.4 GHz2.4 GHz for reach, 5 GH...

Tracking Eyes In Public

A camera that notices you, zooms in, and follows sounds like a neat feature until that feed is viewable on the open internet with zero friction. We dig into AI-enabled PTZ systems, why they transform surveillance from passive recording into active selection, and how a single misconfiguration can turn a powerful tool into a public broadcast. Pulling from reporting by 404 Media and Ben Jordan, we connect the dots between “debug” interfaces, Shodan indexing, and real-world harms that scale with ease of

The music keeps playing, but winter is trying its best to silence it. We pull back the curtain on how ice sabotages broadcast antennas and what it takes to keep a reliable signal alive through freezing rain, rime, and brutal wind. From wet-ice detuning that spikes reflected power to the jaw-dropping structural load of a tower turned into a frozen sail, this is the real story of staying on the air when the weather turns hostile.

2025/11/24

The ground under broadcast distribution is moving, and the question isn’t whether C-band was reliable—it’s how we keep that reliability as the FCC clears and auctions more of it. We dive into the real tradeoffs facing stations of every size, from small-market radio shops without diverse fiber routes to major TV groups juggling national feeds. Along the way, we unpack why C-band earned its reputation, where Ku-band helps and hurts, and how to design delivery paths that survive storms, backhoes, and

From Crackle To Clarity: The Rise And Fall Of AM Stereo

Forget the crackle. We dive into the secret life of AM stereo—the late-night rabbit hole that led us from a Wyoming station’s YouTube clip to the engineering that once promised FM-grade sound on an “old” band. We break down AM versus FM in plain terms, then follow the 1970s and 80s race among Motorola, Magnavox, Harris, and Khan to deliver true stereo on AM without abandoning listeners with mono radios. The result is a story of elegant design, messy standards, and a pivotal FCC misstep that left
