Ned's Declassified Podcast Survival Guide

Ned Heads we are BACK! This week we take a thoughtful (and occasionally awkwardly funny) walk down memory lane—touching on our podcast journey since 2023, the Chinese zodiac, travel mishaps, and big-picture life lessons—before diving into the very real and very complicated situation surrounding former co-star Tylor Chase. We unpack addiction, mental health, public perception, and why compassion with boundaries is harder than it sounds but way more effective than yelling in a comments section. Along the way, we talk community support, recovery, acting, parenting wisdom you don’t get in baby books, and our new film Rescued, which explores homelessness and addiction with heart. We wrap the episode with New Year tips focused on self-care, personal growth, and remembering that healing—like this podcast—isn’t a straight line, but it’s better with people in your corner.Check out the trailer for Rescued here! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nWkzCa_EmU Learn more about your ad choices.

'Tis season Ned Heads...In this episode we look back on the past year together and unpack everything the holiday season stirs up—from complicated relationship dynamics to the need for real quiet time when life gets overwhelming.

As we share our reflections, we remind ourselves to embrace life’s rhythms, appreciate the present moment, and support one another through all the ups and downs. We wrap things up feeling grounded, inspired, and excited for the creative paths waiting ahead. Thanks for tuning in - see you in a few weeks!  Learn more about your ad choices.

Ned Pod Listeners...In this chaos-fueled episode we spiral through Thanksgiving family madness, childhood memories that definitely explain a lot about us, and the relentless creative energy of New York City that won’t let us sleep. We tackle mental health with the help of your listener messages, confessing our winter survival strategies (mostly self-care, snacks, and delusional positivity). Then we dive into the wild world of acting—complete with bizarre performance superstitions, frantic prep rituals, and the constant struggle to balance our personal needs with production demands without crying in a bathroom stall. Toss in travel disasters, questionable road-trip choices, and adventures we absolutely did not sign up for, and you’ve got an episode packed with laughs, honesty, and the reminder that stepping out of our comfort zones is great… until it's not, but then it becomes a good story.
