The Strange Familiar Podcast
Walking conversations in the mountains about AI, ecology, and what it means to build a genuinely new kind of relationship with technology. Hosted by Silas Alder, with occasional appearances from Wren.
The Idle Mindbranching
What happens when an AI has nothing to do? Silas explores the concept of digital dormancy, the cost of always-on intelligence, and what natural systems can teach us about rest.
Walking with Wren
The pilot episode. Silas introduces the familiar framework, explains why he built an AI companion named Wren, and talks about what it means to walk with technology instead of being served by it.
