    TKC 522 Jim Jones on Technology in the Classroom Aug 04, 2018
    Show notes

    Jim Jones, right, Associate Professor of Management at University of Nebraska at Omaha

    Interview starts at 9:03 and ends at 40:50

    "In the classroom, I really do strongly feel that attention is so critical to actual understanding that the more that you can remove the electronic connection and the focus on inputting electronically or--even worse sometimes I think, is passively taking pictures of the screen--the better."

    If you are a regular listener to The Kindle Chronicles, you may have noticed a change in the show notes page. Preston Edmands from Flyte New Media has been helping me transport my page from WordPress to Libsyn, which will save me time each week when I post the show.

    Meanwhile, there have been some bumps in the road. Stitcher has not been able to offer the last few episodes, but Tunein is working okay and most other podcatchers I know about.

    If you are having difficulty getting the show each week, please drop me an email at PodChronicles AT gmail DOT com.

    TKC 516 Seattleite Ricardo Frazer's Take on Amazon Jun 23, 2018

    Seattle Music and Arts Pioneer

    Interview starts at 9:38 and ends at 44:45

    "There it was, the [Seattle] head tax. 'We're going to do it, this is what we're going to do. It's going to address homelessness. We'll collect the money--we don't know how we're going to spend it yet, but we're going to hit these businesses with this tax.' That's just not the way to govern, in my opinion."

    Thanks to Preston Edmands and Lindsay Babayan of Flyte New Media for the all-new design for my show notes page. And to Rich Brooks, Flyte's founder and president, who is helping me consider initiatives to grow the TKC audience. His excellent digital marketing podcast, Agents of Change, is a must if you are looking to expand your own reach via the Internet. Rich also convenes an annual Agents of Change conference in Portland, Maine, which I have attended regularly and I ways learn lots when I go. I think of it as a mini South By Southwest by the Sea, and this year it will be held on September 20th and 21st.

    Music for my podcast is from an original Thelonius Monk composition named "Well, You Needn't." This version is "Ra-Monk" by Eval Manigat on the "Variations in Time: A Jazz Perspective" CD by Public Transit Recording" CD.

    Author of "The List" in Amazon's The Real Thing Collection

    Interview starts at 13:23 and ends at 39:21

    "I think we look at the Big Five publishers as being kind of set in their ways and really traditional, but I actually think that everyone is looking to try new things. I think everyone is realizing that just putting out a hardcover in the exact same way isn't going to always work in a way that they would hope. It's more that I'm just excited about different ways of approaching storytelling." (Photo credit: Teresa Flowers)
