Well my friends, today I start my 10th Season of An Older Gay Guy Show! I have all kinds of plans for this season, highlighted as always by my Sweeps Period which will be for the month of August (after voting for the Podcast Awards during July).

Today I start with an easy-breezy episode, which includes an edited part from one of my 'disappeared' episodes from a few years ago. This is actually what I consider a Part 2 of a video I did on An Older Gay Guy Show's YouTube channel that is titled 'Getting Over My Social Anxiety'. This podcast episode is a stand-alone show. It is not necessary to see the video prior to listening to this episode.

I hope you enjoy it. I tried to have some humor in the content, but there is a serious message underlying it.

This is a jam-packed episode!

1. I was INVESTIGATED ! ,

2. An sexual email from a listener,

3. STORYTIME - My, (ahem) 'friend', had an amusing adventure while cruising for men on a brightly

moonlit Summer night.

Being single gets a bad rap. Over the many years that I could only manage relationships that were at the most, eight months in duration, I learned a number of lessons on how to not only accept being single, but to actually enjoy being single and in my own company. These are some of the things that I learned along the way.

This is a previous show from 2018 that I have edited to put out this year again. Many of us (myself included) are striving to lose a few more pounds, even during the Holiday Season. This episode discusses subtle changes that you can make when planning and consuming your Thanksgiving Dinner that can help keep you on track, so you don't lose any of the hard work that you have put in during these last months. Please keep an open mind and give it a listen. Even choosing to do one or two things that I outline can make a big difference whether you won't gain any additional body fat, or if the Holiday goes completely off-the-rails.

So I had what I am referring to as a Fan Event, because this is probably the closest to an actual Meet-&-Greet that I will ever have. My husband Paco and I hosted two of my long-time fans for a day of hiking and dinner. Henry and Christopher join me for a relaxed (that means with wine) discussion about their thoughts of how they came to be together as a couple for 40 years. We laugh quite a bit and have fun. This wonderful visit came about because I have corresponded with these two listeners for quite some time. We were honored to host these two wonderful men. I hope you enjoy the show. There is an echo at times as we were in my new studio and I haven't put up sound-proofing yet.

A show reminiscing about my early life in the 1960's and 1970's and various things and situations that helped me discover who I was. If you grew up in the 1970's, many of these things will be familiar to you.

** Please note: My Host Site had been hacked and the data was temporarily lost. I haven't been able to put out a show since all this happened. I cut my break short to produce a couple of shows to have ready when the host came back online and I could upload files. This is a show that was made about 4-5 weeks ago.**

In this last Sweeps episode we visit with James Taylor Jr., the LGBTQ+ artist behind the hit gay anthem Boy In A Dress, a song that was showcased on this show during the month of July. Taylor's "PRIDE" album, which he has been diligently crafting since 2019, is a testament to his commitment to celebrating queer history and icons. I hope you will enjoy this conversation.

In the penultimate episode of this year's Sweeps Period I am joined by Sasha Korbut, an up and coming LGBTQ+ filmmaker, to discuss his short film Incomplete. Sasha contacted me after I left a comment on his YouTube channel speaking of how his film really touched my heart. I hope you enjoy this Interview.
