For this week’s Throwback Thursday, the spotlight returns to Episode 156 (originally released on May 22nd, 2023) for a standout conversation with John Oates, one half of the most successful musical duo in pop history. With 29 charting hits and six #1 singles, Hall & Oates left an unforgettable mark on the music world, and their 1982 smash “Maneater” spent four weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100. In this episode, Oates dives into the writing, recording, release, and legacy of the song, while also sharing the story behind his newly reimagined reggae version. It’s an inside look at a timeless hit from the man who helped bring it to life.
