Our interview with Chris Kaspar was originally recorded April 2021—but first published here November 22, 2021

Meet a new smartphone that can’t install apps, doesn’t have Facebook—and that’s why people want it! Would you want a “simple” smartphone?? Does it make life better?

Adam interviews Chris Kaspar, founder of Techless and maker of the Wisephone, aiming to change how people relate to their most personal device. They talk about digital addiction, parenting, smartphone self-control, and more.

Then, in the post-interview discussion, Chris and Adam discuss whether they would get a Wisephone. They even get around to suggesting some ways the Techless might make the Wisephone better.
