Death & Dying in the Digital Age.
The conversation we've all been avoiding. I have them every day. Made clear, human, and surprisingly hopeful. Hosted by Niki Weiss, the world's leading Digital Thanatologist.
The one conversation none of us want to have, we are having.
Our whole lives are digital now. The accounts, the photos, the passwords, the identities. But almost no one has a plan for what happens to any of it. Death & Dying in the Digital Age takes that uncomfortable subject and makes it clear, practical, and even a little hopeful.
Each week, Niki sits down with the experts, founders, and families rethinking how we plan, grieve, and remember, from estate law and AI to grief, caregiving, and the future of memory itself.
