Out of Touch: A Hall and Oates Podcast episodes

  • Episode Twenty: Wait for Me

    This week was a bit of a journey. From the song Wait for Me to Monchichis and ear lobe fortune-telling, we get into several topics that somehow relate back to our heroes, Hall and Oates. Kind of.

  • Episode Nineteen: I'm Just a Kid (Don't Make Me Feel Like a Man)
    This week we wonder how old the woman in this song is, and why is John Oates chasing her around corners? We have so many questions about the inspiration behind this song, and genuinely don't know if these lyrics would fly in 2022. Maybe? Let us know what you think!

    Also, MK talks more about how hot Hopper is on Stranger Things because OF COURSE she does.

  • Episode Eighteen: Private Eyes
    This week's episode is fantastic and NOT family-friendly! We dive into "Private Eyes" with the inimitable MarQ'uis Reid, Naomi's colleague from the San Francisco Department of Public Health. MarQ'uis takes us on a wild ride from his Philly days listening to Hall and Oates on the radio pre-MTV then deep into his past work as a "private eye" public health syphilis tracker. Listen and learn!

  • Episode Sixteen: Todd and Daryl LIVE
    This week was the Daryl Hall and Todd Rundgren live show in SF and we have been excited FOREVER...then MK got covid and our lovely friend, Sarah, stepped in to keep the fun going. Hearing about a concert is almost as good as being there, right?

  • Episode Fifteen: Sara Smile

    This week we are joined by the official research executive to the podcast, Sarah Wilson. As a well-respected union organizer in San Francisco, Sarah brings a fantastic perspective to topics ranging from body autonomy and what's happening in the supreme court to vodka-based cocktails and songwriter extraordinaire Sara Allen. Do Aretha Franklin and Maya Angelou make their way into the conversation? Of course they do!

  • Episode Fourteen: Adult Education

    This week we chat with teacher, writer, and Hall and Oates lover, Liz Ganem, about the song Adult Education. We discuss sex education in the schools, the fascinating nature of the video and its director Tim Pope, and how much we love Nile Rodgers and his contribution to the original guitar sounds. This episode is unofficially brought to you by Luxardo Cherries and our love of Amy Sedaris.

  • Episode Thirteen: You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin' (For the Grammys)
    We are blown away that Daryl Hall and John Oates have never won a Grammy! They have been nominated five times for the most random things, and the fact that they don't have one is insanity. Let it be known we will be launching a protest/flash mob outside the Grammy museum, so we will meet you there. Bring your signs and wear a mustache!

  • Episode Twelve: One On One, Part 2

    This week's conversation was so amazing we went on and on! Lucky you, now you have TWO episodes with the amazing Kevin Avery.

    We discuss Hall and Oates singing with their idols, Eddie Kendrick and David Ruffin, and you can find out how our conversation with Kevin Avery manages to connect NKOTB, Tammy Faye Baker, and the Transformers back to Hall and Oates.

  • Episode Eleven: One On One, Part 1

    This week's conversation was so amazing we went on and on! Lucky you, now you have TWO episodes with the amazing Kevin Avery.

    We consider the intimate sports metaphor hit One on One as we begin to dig into Hall and Oates's deep connection to The Temptatations. Our guest, comedian, writer, and vocalist/dancer (who we believe holds an honorary doctorate in New Edition studies), Kevin Avery, shares his expertise on singing groups and their important distinction from boy bands.
