Dan sits down with Leah to discuss the beginnings of the modern political movement in New York and concepts of "reformers" and "regulars." In Dan's own words: "My own political history grew out of the reform movement, the idealistic wing of the Democratic party devoted to fighting what we at least perceived as corrupt regular Democratic political clubs, and what surely often were."

Episode 2: Reformers and Regulars

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.
