Michael Feldman (born March 9, 1949)[1] is the host of Michael Feldman's Whad'Ya Know?, a radio program distributed by Public Radio International. His announcer, Jim Packard, refers to him as "The Sage of Wisconsin." He has given himself the title of "Producer Internationale," and also refers to Public Radio International on-air as "The International House of Radio."
Raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Feldman graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a degree in English in 1970. He worked as a teacher at Malcolm Shabazz Alternative High School in Madison, Wisconsin, before finding work at radio station WORT. Soon after, he worked as a cab driver before coming back to broadcasting, first at Wisconsin Public Radio, then at WGN (AM). He was fired from WGN in 1984, which sent him back to Public Radio. He started his show, Michael Feldman's Whad'Ya Know?, in 1985.
Feldman is the author of several books, such as Wisconsin Curiosities: Quirky Characters, Roadside Oddities & Other Offbeat Stuff, Something I Said?: Innuendo and Out the Other, and Thanks for the Memos. In addition to writing, he also edited, Glad You Asked: Intriguing Names, Facts, and Ideas For the Curious-Minded, in partnership with Encyclopedia Britannica. In the audio world, Feldman has produced two CD compilations of his radio show, Roadkill! The Best of Michael Feldman's Whad'ya Know... On the Road and Why Not: Best of Michael Feldman's Whad'ya Know, as well a six-CD collection titled, Whad'ya Know? About the Classics.[2]
Feldman is married, has two daughters, and lives in the Madison area, where the show is usually staged.
