Episode 26: New York Politics of the 1990s

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.
