As a standing Pitzer College tradition, the graduating senior class selects its keynote speaker for the commencement ceremony.
In 2009 the senior class selected David Feldman. Here is a bootleg recording of David’s speech.
David’s commentary for Pacifica Radio’s “Jimmy Dore Show.” 90.7 FM in Los Angeles.
Here are some outtakes and bloopers from last month’s episode with Patton Oswalt. Also Ben Zelevansky.
Plus poetry from Jim Earl as performed by Jimmy Dore.

Curb Your Enthusiasm’s Jeff Garlin plugs his new book “My Footprint.” Plus Tancred and Grey sing “The Vagina Song.” And we hear from Ben Zelevansky.
Part three of our interview with Comic Bill Burr after last week’s show at Upright Citizen’s Brigade in which David bombed. Plus we decided to run the cold opening from the Neal Brennan episode because nobody was getting along, there were technical problems, and it was funny to watch the whole thing disintegrate. By the way, check out the Clutter Family’s new CD on iTunes. It’s awesome.
