I have always believed that one of the reasons I am still alive despite illnesses that were supposed to shorten my life, is because of my attitude and the way I look at the world. It is so easy in today's society to get all caught up in the day-to-day negative emotions that are a result of the ever-changing world and our discomfort and inability to change with it. I found a few items on the internet that are in keeping with my philosophy and way-of-life. I wanted to share some of these with you ...
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 'Get...
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. The Cranky Old Gay Guy Show Joey's episode on The Cranky Old Gay Guy Show
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. The Cranky Old Gay Guy Show on YouTube
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 ...
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...
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 mad...
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. 2024 Sweeps Period has ended. James Taylor Jr. Music with Social Media Links and..... James on Facebook James on Instagram Jam...

As we continue with Sweeps Period 2024, I have a fascinating conversation with Michael Andor Brodeur, to discuss his new book Swole: The Making of Men and the Meaning of Muscle . Unbeknownst to me, Michael and I must have literally been circling around each other in Boston in the 1990's. We went to some of the same gyms, we went to the same nightclubs, we had common friends. And yet we did not know each other existed until this Interview. I thoroughly enjoyed myself as we reminisced about our ch...
As Sweeps continues, today I have a story that is both heart-breaking and heartwarming. This is a story of survival and hope. Angel Finally Found His Wings is a book you will never forget. It was valorous of Ron to tell his story, and as he mentions, it took over a decade to put the words together to properly tell the terrifying circumstances that befell him. Please listen as he tells us about his journey and the book that has become the end result. Angel Finally Found His Wings on AMAZON...

Host Joey Hernandez recounts a hilarious and somewhat painful high school memory: a spontaneous New Year's Day road trip to New York City with friends in 1976 after a dismal party. To combat boredom on the long drive, they invented a bizarre and painful game called "thwapping nuts." The episode also covers Joey's upcoming NYC trip with husband Paco, a trivia segment on "Call Me By Your Name," and a personal update on Joey's voice.
For the month of July, during the Nomination Period for the 2024 People's Choice Podcast Awards, all episodes will be true-life erotic STORYTIME episodes. These episodes are erotic in content. If you do not like hearing such stories, please do not listen to this episode. This show is one of the few that I was able to salvage from the Joey After Dark Podcast , and tells the tale of an encounter I had about 5 years ago with a number of the hottest jocks at my gym. This story takes place in the gym...

Summer is a wonderful season. Family gatherings, vacations, graduation parties, 4th of July....so many! I know you have worked hard this past year in losing weight and you have looked forward (maybe with a bit of hesitation) to the sunny, warm weather that will allow you to finally take off your shirt. But sometimes navigating these parties, can be difficult. You desire to be proud of what you have accomplished and yet there is a growing desire to partake of the delightful food. I have a few sug...
Today we conclude our special 3-part series of all things Dark Shadows ! In this episode we discuss the much-improved, with higher production values, and a new younger cast; reboot of Dark Shadows with the 1991 Revival Series . This series only lasted one season, but during its run, it was able to condense the Barnabas origin story, including Victoria Winter's trip to 1795, into 12 cohesive and beautifully told episodes. If you want to start getting to know Dark Shadows , start with this 12 epis...
Today I present Part 2 of our fun 3-part nostalgic discussion of Dark Shadows.

Next Friday, in Part 3, we will talk about the amazing 1991 Revival Series of Dark Shadows. The Radical Retro Rewind Podcast The Radical Retro Rewind YouTube Channel...
Today we return to conclude the STORYTIME that I started a couple of weeks ago. After answering some questions that a listener had posed to me, we continue the Naked Hiking story right where we left off: the two Donovan brothers and I were merrily hiking through the woods of Vermont bareassed, heading for a private swimming hole with a waterfall that bordered the Solomon farm. I hope you enjoy the conclusion of this STORYTIME.
I'm so excited to bring you this incredibly fun and funny 3-part series with Radical Ryan Hunter of the Radical Retro Rewind Podcast and YouTube channel. In this series, we will cover all things Dark Shadows , from The Original Series to the 1991 re-boot and many, many more Dark Shadows memories will be discussed. I have waited literally years to be able to have this kind of discussion about my all-time favorite childhood show. Thank you for joining us! In Part 1, we have an overview of the orig...
This is a two-part STORYTIME about an adventurous Summer day that I spent with the Donovan brothers. These were two straight college jocks that had bright red hair and freckles. The brothers were in a previous episode I did called 'Don't Let Your Balls Touch Mine', and that episode is in my back catalogue. I hope you enjoy this two-part STORYTIME.
I owe you a story. This is one that I had been saving for a rainy day, and here it is raining in Boston. This STORYTIME takes place in 1993, when I was 35 years old. It remains one of my favorite experiences in Provincetown, the gay resort town on the very tip of Cape Cod here in Massachusetts. I was convinced to do something dangerous that I would never do today. However, this was during my 'party phase' (a phase that lasted a good three decades!), and I threw caution to the wind (along with AL...
This episode is a serious topic that I think is very timely. I specifically do not mention what the topic is (I call it a Mystery Topic) because I want the maximum number of guys that I can draw in to hear this important subject. I would appreciate you taking the time to hear this episode. Thank you! ~Joey
In this episode we will talk about a subject that is often not discussed, but rather many older men suffer with in silence. The episode begins with 3 emails in our 'Listener Mail' segment. The last email you do not want to miss ! Erectile Disfunction as it relates to older guys being able to get somewhat hard, but maybe not as hard as in our youth, and possibly not hard enough for sexual performance, is discussed. I speak about a Japanese study of men that cannot get fully erect, we review ED or...
In celebration of this show's 9th season kicking off, I bring you a new series that I will do periodically throughout the year. Reddit Stories, will be actual messages posted on a public forum about various subjects of interest. In this first episode, I offer 4 stories from Reddit readers, about gang showers; in school, at work, and in gym facilities. In future Reddit Stories episodes, I will comment on each one. I did not in this due to difficulty in talking....
In this serious episode I tell you two stories from my past that are extremely personal. I would not normally be this open, but I know of people who will be alone these holidays and I worry. Thankfully the thoughts I had during this time are far behind me, but I've never forgotten the things I learned during these very difficult days. I hope this helps someone.
