From Broadcasts To Bits

A new name, a wider lens, and the same commitment to clarity. We’re evolving Fully Modulated into The Tyler Woodward Project to explore the systems behind everyday tech while keeping the broadcast spirit that started it all. The premiere drops January 5, and you don’t need to lift a finger—stay subscribed and your feed will update automatically.

We share why the show is shifting from a narrow focus on broadcasting to a broader mix of technology, culture, and science. Tyler reflects on growing up with a cassette recorder and a lifelong love of radio, then lays out where we’re headed next: demystifying routers and switches, explaining how packets travel, and turning alphabet soup into plain English. If you’ve ever wondered why your ISP underperforms, how DNS and DHCP really work, or what it takes to tune Wi‑Fi for real homes, you’ll find step‑by‑step insights and a practical mindset. We’ll also get candid about operating systems, from Linux love to honest tradeoffs across platforms, and how those choices shape privacy, productivity, and control.

This is for curious listeners who want both story and substance—people who enjoy learning how complex systems become simple when explained well. Expect accessible network tips, cultural context around standards and acronyms, and the kind of hands‑on advice you can apply the same day. Keep your subscription as is, watch for the updated artwork and name, and come along as we expand the conversation. If you’re ready for clear tech talk without the fluff, follow @tylerwoodward.me on Instagram, Bluesky, and Threads, share this relaunch with a friend, and leave a quick review to help more curious minds find us.

Episode Transcript

Tyler (00:00):
Hey, it's Tyler from the Tyler Woodward Project.
Formerly Fully Modulated.
And starting on January 5th,well, the new podcast is
launching with a brand newepisode.
Now, if you uh haven't beenseeing the social media post and
the brand new website and theother updates I've been putting
out, basically what's happeningis Fully Modulated is morphing

(00:25):
into a brand new podcast, nameafter me, because well, I can't
think of a better name.
And I wanted to expand on morethings than just broadcasting.
I've been doing broadcastingsince oh well, I started getting
involved in one way or anotherin 2005, and I've wanted to do

(00:50):
radio since I was like fiveyears old when I first got my uh
very first AMFM cassetterecorder radio dealy for my
birthday.
So, I mean, it's kind of been inmy blood, so that part's not
going away, but I want to talkabout uh routers.
I want to talk about switches, Iwant to talk about how much your
ISP sucks.

(01:10):
I want to talk about how theones and zeros, the bits get
from one thing to another.
And I want to help you learn.
Um, I want to teach you how tomake your Wi-Fi better.
I want to tell you what DNS is,DHCP, all these little uh tech
acronyms.
And but and trust me, we got alot of acronyms and tech for

(01:34):
some reason.
I don't know.
We like our acronyms, so we gota lot to discuss.
We're gonna dive into all sortsof topics.
We're gonna talk about uhoperating systems, we're gonna
talk about how Linux issuperior.
I use the Arch, by the way.
Uh, we're gonna we're gonna diveinto so many subjects and so
many different things.
Basically, what I can tell youis the new show will be

(01:58):
tech-oriented, culture-oriented,and science-oriented.
Those are the three main pillarsof the brand uh new podcast.
And one question I have rreceived is why didn't we just
launch a brand new feed?

(02:19):
Because think of it this waythink of it as a natural
progression, I guess.
And uh, you know, I didn't wantto fully just write off fully
modulated, it's just that whereI wanted to move the show wasn't

(02:39):
um, you know, wasn't allbroadcasting oriented.
You know what I mean?
So I thought, you know, whatbetter way than just to
naturally progress the show anddo it this way.
So if you want to keeplistening, stay subscribed right

(03:00):

The artwork, the name,everything will update
automatically for you.
You don't have to do anything.
