Welcome to A Digital Death Podcast
Jose Briones is a Writer, Digital Minimalist, filmmaker, and podcaster. Back in 2019 he made the switch from a smartphone to a dumbphone. His website, josebriones.org is a go-to source for tips on low tech living. It features a wonderfully helpful tool called “The Dumbphone Finder” that helps people figure out exactly which phone has the best match to the lifestyle they’re trying to create for themselves. He’s been quoted by USA Today, The NY Times, Wired, the BBC, and was recently a guest on AlJazeera’s “The Stream”. He’s a moderator for Dumphone Life, a subreddit forum with over 60k members and is one of the most active subreddits on the entire platform ranking in the top 2%. And he joins us on A Digital Death Podcast!
