[1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2023-06-04 David Feldman, where have you been for these many years? About a month ago, you showed up in my YouTube feed. I am not sure how; I can't remember. I didn't know you from Jack Smith. At first, you captured me with your wry and left-leaning recitations, called Mop-Ups, of national events. Then your jeremiads (The linked example of a jeremiad is only a few days old. Feldman called this "The Speech Joe Biden Should Have Delivered.”) against the rich and their machinations against the poor citizens in the United States overwhelmed me. Eventually, I realized that most of the podcast's content is scripted and that David Feldman is the Scriptor-in-Chief. For all the seriousness described above, you might not know that David Feldman is Wikipediaed as a stand-up comedian, comedy writer, and podcaster. He has won three Prime Time Emmys for his talent as a comedy writer for TV shows. The comedy can slip into his YouTube podcasts anytime, during a Mop-Up or a skit. For example, Donald Trump shows up occasionally in a sketch between Feldman and comedian and Trump impersonator Robert Smigel. David Feldman is an example of a modern-day polymath made visible and enjoyable many times a week on a YouTube podcast. His righteous anger, comedic brilliance, writing excellence, and historically-contextualized and compassionate exposition of left-leaning and Democratic themes are unique for YouTube and anywhere.
