Each episode is about sparking idea, addressing challenges, and diving deep into what it looks like to be a vulnerable gay guy. We talk about the stuff us gay guys have a hard time talking about, man-to-man: masculinity, sex, careers, our bodies, parenting, sexuality, failures, success, and aging, relationships, coming out - nothing is off limits. 40 Plus: Gay Men Gay Talk is the revamped version of 40 Plus: Real Men. Real Talk podcast and is a short format podcast that's easy to digest. We take deep dives - one topic at a time - digging up the truth of what it’s like to be a gay man, instead of some contrived expectation of masculinity. We’re reclaiming manhood and our masculinity by facing our fears, making bold moves, and living life without apologies. Join us, but you've got to drop your BS, forget posturing, and be ready to explore the comical dysfunctions of our lives as gay men 40+ years of age! ## Machine-readable JSON: https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/40-plus-gay-men-gay-talk-912616 Markdown: https://stenobird.com/podcast/40-plus-gay-men-gay-talk-912616.md ## Episodes - [HIV Is Not Over: Andrew Spieldenner and Alex Garner on Stigma, Survival, and What Gay Men Over 40 Need to Hear](https://stenobird.com/podcast/40-plus-gay-men-gay-talk-912616/hiv-is-not-over-andrew-spieldenner-and-alex-garner-on-stigma-survival-and-what-gay-men-over-40-need-to-hear) — 2026-05-29T10:30:00+00:00 - [Morgan Rich Says the Version of Masculinity You Were Handed Was Never Going to Fit.
