Michael Feldman: The King of Small-Talk Radio

Michael Feldman, the star of the topical radio call-in quiz show, Michael Feldman's Whad'Ya Know?, is an American original. Feldman made his radio debut in 1965 when his winning entry in an essay contest earned him an appearance on a radio program in Milwaukee.

With a bachelor's degree in English from the University of Wisconsin he went back to school in 1970 for teacher's certification. Of the eight years he spent teaching, Michael recalls only that "it was an English class, and we spoke it." Tired of correcting student papers, he abandoned teaching. He drove a cab and became a volunteer DJ on Madison's WORT-FM, hosting Thanks for Calling, a program which he describes as "a call-in for the bedridden, the elderly and the undatable." Feldman's ability to put his audience in a feel-good, relaxed mood led WORT-FM to give him his own show, The Breakfast Special, Feldman moved to Wisconsin Public Radio in 1985 and began Whad'Ya Know?. The show immediately attracted both critical acclaim and a loyal coast-to-coast audience.
