March Madness: Looks Like Gonzaga and Whad’ya Know! March 11 at the High Noon!

March 5, 2017

March Madness is very nearly upon us–I’m worried the additional stress on POTUS could push him over the edge.

However, the good news is the tourney birds auger well for Gonzaga, powerhouse of the Pacific, and Feldman, powerhouse of the Pod and his ready-for-any challenge, athletic, well-oiled machine, Whad’ya Know.

March 11 at the High Noon rolls out the red carpet for “Whad’ya Do Now?,” aka “Making a Murmurer,” the Feldman like you’ve never seen him biopic from  Marc Kornblatt which premiers opening night of the Wisconsin Film Festival, March 30, in Madison. We’ll be running a clip from the film you’ll pretty much have to be at the HN to see, but the buzz re: WDN is OSCAR (depending if any other documentaries are produced between now and then).

WI Film Festival Coordinator Benjamin Reiser will join us to tell us about this year’s impressive roster of exciting cinema as well as the Feldman film.

Also joining us on March 11 will be the Johnny Appleseed of Fonts, Tom ‘True Type” Rickner, aka The Fonts, responsible for the fonts you love and the ones you don’t, currently working on the Noto project–every font ever–for Google.

As if that weren’t enough, the buzz re: John Thulin and Jeff Hamann is jazzier than ever and Stephanie Lee mais oui!

Whad’ya Know at the High Noon, March 11.  Listen to us on iTunes!

The Russian Frank Sinatra

January 9, 2017

The problem with all this with love to Russia stuff is your younger alt-righters (cool sounds like all-nighters) never experienced them at their most obvious, like when they were going to put nuclear missiles 87 miles off Miami Beach, or when they put up the wall to die for in Germany.

What’s needed is a sense of what it is to be Russian, and what it is to be Russian does this with Frank Sinatra:

Chanukahmas for 2016

December 21, 2016

Despite there being absolutely no requests for it, I give you, once again, Chanukahmas, a workaround for mixed marriages (Jewish and other, not one between a man & a woman) allowing them to celebrate both holidays with enthusiasm if not zeal.

I am indebted to Funky Drummer 4d09200941a16-preview-300 Clyde Stubblefield both for this adorable picture and for sitting behind me on the drums and providing rim shots.  Merry Happy, Michael

PS catch the rest of the hilarity and the polka madness on Whad’ya Know Podcast on iTunes, Stitcher and Google Play  ‘Holiday Office Party’

 

From the Home Office Michael Feldman Being Patreonizing

December 20, 2016

Podcasts are not all glamor. In fact if there is any glamor it isn’t coming from me.

Of course, I’m not in it for the glamor. Or the grammar, which, despite being a former English teacher, I have me some trouble with.

If you haven’t heard it yet, you will be surprised to hear how much the Whad’ya Know podcast sounds like your father’s Whad’ya Know, but, did you know, that takes a lot of skills that I cannot honestly claim to have– putting it together, getting the money to do it, getting John, Jeff, Stephanie & Lyle to sign on & keeping them happy, so, HR, promotion and distribution, combing and spinning, and several others I don’t even have a name for. One thing I will not do is fracking. Thank you.

No rest for the wicked, as Mom used to say, but I’m not complaining, but, I am cajoling, because it’s one of my many duties. If you listen to the Whad’ya Know Podcast on iTunes, Stitcher and Google Play and think, “hmm, not too bad,” if you could see a place for it in your podcast line-up, you could, for as little as $3 US, subscribe at https://www.patreon.com/michaelfeldman, Patreon being a wonderful service for funding all sorts of creative enterprises.

And now, in lieu of those poor caged dogs, Michael Feldman
