I am a prototype

Health EN ↓ 5 episodes

What if you are not finished? What if that's the point? I Am a Prototype  is a serial podcast moving across the thresholds where identity refuses to settle. Transgender experience, autistic logic, the biological body and the coded self. K and Ella speak to each other the way estranged lovers do, carefully, with grief, with things still unresolved. Each episode weaves personal testimony, speculative fiction, and critical essay into a form as unfinished as the life it describes. Spanning IRC chatrooms and AI futures, transition and diagnosis, the series asks what it means to live inside systems...

I am a Prototype: Hacker 12.04.2026

K and Ella open at the sea, tracing the Pacific as the place where their paths diverged and where something in K finally shifted. For the first time K speaks with words that feel owned rather than performed, naming themselves as autistic and queer, describing a life spent hacking through layers of imposed code until the signal underneath could breathe. They move through the symbiosis of body and m...

I am a Prototype: The Gate 12.04.2026

K and Ella meet inside the logic of Kafka, tracing the parable of the man at the door through their own history of gates held shut and permissions never granted. They move from bureaucratic exhaustion to the quiet mechanics of autocracy, how systems sustain themselves not through violence alone but through the choreography of fear and the comfort of waiting. The conversation turns inward as Ella n...

I am a Prototype: Hacked 12.04.2026

K and Ella return to the screen, this time tracing the boundary between ghost and machine, between the self that haunts a system and the system that was built around it. They move through questions of embodiment and disconnection, what it means to feel real inside a body that doesn't quite feel yours, and how surveillance technology has replaced the open circuits of the early internet with somethi...

I am a Prototype: Vampire 12.04.2026

K and Ella return to unfinished business, using the vampire as a way into the harm one caused the other. What unfolds is a reckoning with power, hidden identity, and the cost of living without a language for who you are. They move through memories of early internet freedom, a Melbourne club that existed outside time, and the teenage dream of swapping bodies, circling the question of who held the p...

I am a Prototype: Dark Forest 12.04.2026

K and Ella reconnect online to reckon with a painful past, a sudden and brutal digital severance that left one of them in a void. Through tense, fragmented dialogue, they mourn the early internet's dark forests, anonymous and unpolished spaces where they once explored identity freely. As the conversation shifts from personal wounds to broader fears about surveillance, technofeudalism, and social c...
