Episode Nine: Maneater

04/02/22 • 65 min

This week we cover Maneater with our friend, Alexandra Freedman, who is a fellow New Mexican and friend from childhood. This song brings up everything from Flashdance and feminism to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and absinthe. Most importantly, this song introduces us to a new musical favorite, Saxsquatch, and reminds us that John Oates has an amazing sense of humor.

Episode Eight: Everytime You Go Away

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.
