About this episode
Welcome to the first episode of Death and Dying in the Digital Age! This week, I am joined by Bradley Berman and his experience making a film about his good friend’s life and the legacy that his friend left behind. With our world becoming evermore immersed in cyberspace, there is no guarantee that our assets, resources, and important documents will be preserved and stored properly at the end of life. Join us as we tackle passing on and leaving a legacy that is still tangible to those you love after you pass.
About Death and Dying in the Digital Age

Welcome to Death and Dying in the Digital Age, a podcast that explores the uncharted territory of our online afterlife.
