I suggested to Len Edgerly he might want to issue a press release to publicize the podcast and he agreed! This just arrived.



Hartwick College Student DeLancey Nicoll is Guest on Kindle Podcast



Denver CO, Feb. 5, 2009:
  DeLancey Nicoll, who is scheduled to graduate from Hartwick College in May, 2010, is the featured interview guest in today’s episode of The Kindle Chronicles, a widely followed weekly audio podcast about Amazon’s eReader, the Kindle.
Nicoll described the advantages of taking his Kindle to Jamaica for Hartwick’s month-long transcultural nursing program. 
“We only had so much that we could bring down, and I feel like I saved the most space of anybody by just having my Kindle instead of bringing books and articles,” Nicoll told podcast host Len Edgerly.

A 2006 graduate of Westbrook High School in Westbrook, Maine, Nicoll was accepted to Hartwick by early decision and received a Samuel Nelson Scholarship for academic achievement. He is majoring in nursing and hopes to spend next January at the University of Basel Hospital and the Institute for Nursing Science in Basel, Switzerland.

The Art of Being a Good Podcast Guest


Edgerly, a retired journalist who has been podcasting for two years, said Nicoll was an effective guest for his show, because of the Hartwick student’s natural informality and clarity.  “Not everyone makes a great podcast guest,” Edgerly said. “Lance Nicoll is the youngest person I’ve had on the show, and he did an excellent job describing how he used the Kindle in an intriguing setting.”

The interview is part of Episode 29 of The Kindle Chronicles.  It can be heard on the Internet at http://TheKindleChronicles.com . The weekly podcast is also listed at the iTunes Directory for free subscriptions.

Thanks for sharing Lance's adventure with us! So glad he had a great time and finally fell in love with his Kindle! You were a great mom for taking care of that for him. Jamaica is one of my favorite places on earth. I would love the opportunity to live there if only for a short while!

BTW - Lance is already a handsome young man! Smiley

More publicity for the Kindle and Lance's experience in Jamaica.

I blogged about it here:
