episode five : Possession Obsession

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.

Our cocktail this week is one we renamed the Possession Obsession, lovingly adapted from THIS RECIPE on the Cointreau website. It mentions this is for ONE COCKTAIL, but we must admit we did “parts” instead of “cups” because if we drank everything listed below we’d be asleep on the floor before the podcast was even over.

1 cup Cointreau

1 cup Whiskey

1 cup Fresh lemon juice

1 cup Apple juice

12oz IPA

Add all ingredients to batch vessel.

Garnish with lemon wheels or apple slices.

Serve with ice.
