About 40 Plus: Gay Men. Gay Talk.
Welcome to the only podcast exploring the messiness, awesomeness, of masculinity of being a gay man over 40. 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!

Eric Hodgson on LGBTQ+ Travel, Safe Spaces, and Using Gay Vacations to Connect
Published 9 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] Anybody who wants to celebrate with us, you know this, is more than welcome on our trips. But having that bubble, that safe space, especially in this day and age right now, it's an immediate connection. It's not an app on a phone where you're texting back and forth. It's not long-distance communication. It's literally being on board in some pretty fantastic places. I always say the the only thing better than seeing the world and making memories is getting to do it with people that you love, that you care about. And so being able to have an entire ship of one community, I mean, that's priceless. […]
