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 relevant.
