A Good Run Podcast offers pieces of political history as personally experienced by Dan Feldman, a New York State legislator between 1981 and 1998 and current public management professor at John Jay College. The series includes revealing encounters between Feldman and such legendary New York political figures as Ed Koch, Mario Cuomo and John Lindsay, as well as with figures still prominent in American politics. His two children, Asher and Leah, take turns interviewing Dan about topics recounted on the Tales From The Sausage Factory blog, a compendium of narratives published in conjunction with a book of the same name from SUNY Press.
With less than a month to Election Day, a new Supreme Court justice nomination on hand, and political turmoil around every turn, Dan and Asher sit down to discuss what it’s like to be a close follower of the political news cycle in 2020. Spend the better part of an hour with us as we try to navigate the entirety of the world of politics today, what it means, and what it could result in. Note: This episode was recorded before last weekend’s news that the President had contracted COVID-19.
