Our guest, Paul Phojanakong, is an avid oldies music enthusiast and karaoke performer extraordinaire. In addition to working at UCSF, he enjoys watching obscure sports, riding his bike, and talking about the curly mullet he had as a child. Paul’s Filipino heritage and love of Hall and Oates brings many fascinating topics to the table as we discuss the Toronto Leafs, Silk Sonic, and the song “Everytime You Go Away” (yes, both versions). Does it bother MK that EVERYTIME is one word? Yes, yes it does.

Episode Five: Possession Obsession

Out of Touch: A Hall and Oates Podcast

03/06/22 • 58 min

This week we tackle two themes with our guest, writer, and reality tv producer Jeanette Scherrer. First, we go deep into an example of a rare Oates-fronted song, Possession Obsession. We consider the musical influences, lyrical meanings, and the surprisingly progressive depictions of NYC at night through the eyes of Oates as a taxi driver. We also look at Daryl Hall's two endeavors in reality TV, focusing on an episode of Live from Daryl's House featuring Vintage Trouble's lead vocalist, Ty Taylor.

Episode Four: Family Man

This week’s episode takes a fresh look at the song, “Family Man.” Our guest, Stephany Joy Ashley is the former Executive Director of the St James Infirmary which provides free, peer-based medical and social services for current and former sex workers and current writer and strategist focused on reducing poverty, stigma, and criminalization. Stephany’s humor and insight shows us how Hall and Oates turns a bunch of rowdy boys and girls into non-binary youth (with pompadours).

Out of Touch: A Hall and Oates Podcast

03/13/22 • 46 min
