Rick creates a space where you can be honest about things that aren’t always easy to talk about. He asks thoughtful questions and helps you see things from a new perspective. If you’re navigating identity, relationships, or major life changes later in life, he’s a great person to have in your corner.

Rick makes his guests feel at ease and knows how to guide a solid interview

Such a wonderful podcast. Rick brings real conversations, real experiences, and a refreshing honesty that hits exactly what so many men are thinking about. Insightful, relatable, and always worth the listen.

This is the podcast to help gay men of a certain age navigate the ups and downs life authentically and without apologies. Rick Clemons is an amazing host and the range of guests on his podcast are second to none. Highly recommend.

Rick Clemons and I shmoozed for nearly an hour about queer life and spirituality. It was a rich conversation that gave us an opportunity to share our personal stories, our search for meaning and our work to reconcile our lives with our religious communities.

Had an awesome time talking with Rick about gay male relationships on the podcast. He provides useful information with humor and a no nonsense approach that’s easy to listen to and entertaining. Highly recommend.

I feel honored to have had the opportunity to be a guest on this much-needed resource for gay men. This podcast keeps it real and provides a vital and non-shaming space for gay men to learn and feel validated.

It’s so great to finally find a relevant to gay people 40 and up. I mean it’s hard enough to find anything of substance for gay men. This is a breath of fresh air.

It’s quickly obvious this host likes to hear himself talk… And despite having guests, Rick largely uses them as a mere sounding board for prioritizing his own commentary, in which he chronically interrupts & dominates the discussion. It’s not inherently wrong or bad for a host to engage in dialogue, drive conversation & add supporting points…if balanced well, but his style/approach reveals a more amateur experience. Conceptually the podcast has relevant topics, some meaningful bits & potential to be impactful but the Rick-centric theme got tiring. Why have guests if they’re experiences, insights, and expertise is not showcased?! I stopped listening after 4 episodes.

I had the pleasure of being a guest on Rick Clemons' podcast, 40 Plus: Gay Men Gay Talk. Rick's approach to our conversation about my book, Threading the Needle: A Fashion Designer’s Guide to Successfully Launching Your First Collection, and the pursuit of my dreams was both fun and inspiring. His genuine curiosity allowed me to share my journey of living authentically and fiercely pursuing my dreams - as a designer and LGBTQ advocate. Thank you, Rick, for the opportunity to share my story and for the incredible work you do for the community.

An interviewer who seems to just want to talk about himself. Please, stop. Let the guest talk. Ask them questions. Listen to a Terry Gross interview for guidance. I had to unfollow.

I had the incredible opportunity to speak with Rick about being who you are created to be. I was able to tell my story and hopefully let other guy know how amazing they are for just being themselves. This was such an amazing moment in my story and I couldn’t be more excited for everyone to hear it. Rick….man you rock and I am so grateful that our paths crossed. You are changing the world one conversation at a time and I am so thankful for all you do. Until next time….

Rick hosted us as guests and had some wonderful, insightful questions for us. It was a great conversation, and he got us thinking about things we hadn't yet discussed on our podcast, Family Twist. Keep up the awesome work, Rick!

Thank you, Rick, for an engaging, in-depth, and captivating interview. You offer such rich support for your audience. You are an excellent podcaster!

Thanks so much Rick for having me on the show. Your podcast is a great resource to helping out the community of over 40 men. I wish to follow in your footsteps with my podcast. -Brad

I’m a new listener, and was very interested in hearing some great discussions about gay men’s health over 40. Unfortunately Rick lost me less than 5 minutes into episode 206 when he referred to his 2021 Provincetown trip as “post-Covid.” 2021 was not post-Covid. We had a massive surge of the Delta variant in 2021, and funnily enough, P-Town was one of the sources for community spread among gay men. And then there was the winter 21/22 Omicron surge. So no… we are definitely not post-Covid. Even in 2023. So I certainly can’t take anyone’s health and wellness advice seriously if they think 2021 was post-Covid. It’s unfortunate. I’d love to hear more about the important health issues of our era, but it can only be done if the host(s) can honestly acknowledge the ongoing public health crisis we’re still living through.

This show has been such a life changer for me. I’ve learned so much from Rick and his guests.

Rick strikes such a balanced approach to discussing what’s important while infusing humor throughout his conversations! Having both ends of that spectrum melded together allows the listener (and his guests) to feel engaged and at ease while exploring bigger topics.

Rick’s got everyone’s best interest in mind and he delivers the info here with his clear and clever eye on the prize demeanor. I can’t wait for more!

I absolutely love listing to Rick's podcasts; so entertaining, so honest, and so helpful. Learning while laughing; is there anything better?!!! LOVED IT!

I love how Rick connects with us and makes it easy to understand out lives 40 plus. Funny, clever and some wisdom. Lol. Everyone should listen.

Love Rick’s approach to this. The chats he has are relatable, funny, and always leave me feeling like I understand my community a bit more. Thank you to Rick and the team for giving us this content!

This podcast is so relevant and covers great topics!

Host Rick provides real straightforward talk about real life issues. This is the perfect show for men over 40, they are looking for solutions to their career sexuality and best ways of aging!!

I’ve known Rick to always be a great conversationalist, and that talent shows up in each episode. He included me in a podcast, and it was like catching up with a friend I hadn’t talked to for some time. Listen to Rick’s podcasts, and you’ll feel welcomed and included...like catching up with friends. - Jeff Nally

I recently had the privilege of being a guest on Rick’s show. After the invitation, I began listening to previous episodes. I know it’s a podcast by a man for men, but there is truly great information and inspiration for all! And honestly, as a woman, what better way to know what is really going on with you guys than to eavesdrop on these conversations.

Great show to hear stories and journeys from a seasoned perspective. A must listen.

It's so refreshing to hear real men talk about life in authentic, relatable, and raw terms. I am so sick of the usual sugar-coated podcasts. Not with Rick Clemons, though! Rick talks to men unapologetically and gets men talking. Thanks for all you do, Rick!

So many amazing interviews that are honest! Love this podcast!

I love this show! Listeners will find authentic conversations on this show leading you to live your best life yet. I'm not a man but still listen and learn so much. Plus, it's a great conversation starter with those special men in your life. Thanks, Rick for going deep and keeping it REAL!

Thank you SO much Rick for creating this podcast and sparking such amazing conversations guys over 40 feel uncomfortable talking about! Your podcast is inspiring me to have more REAL conversations in REAL life! Must listen!

Rick is the type of host who really has his listeners' well-being in mind. You can tell from his interviews that doing this program is one of his life's passions. The subjects he talks about on this podcast are consequential, informative, challenging, and always entertaining. For men over 40 and those that love them, this is one of the most important podcasts out there!

I've enjoyed this podcast.... mostly because Rick is so darned authentic behind the mic. Wisdome, honesty, fun guests, and a really important topic. This will make you a better human... oh, and a better man. Listen up. You'll be glad you did.

Rick, you did a great job. I love the show. Only one thing! You need a new microphone! It’s really difficult to hear your voice. It’s not very clear. Please! Hope you all the best!

Rick Clemons is a wonderful man who puts his heart and soul in everything he does. He is a man of incredible integrity and isn't afraid of having uncomfortable conversations for the sake of good. I highly recommend his podcast and am grateful to consider Rick a mentor.

The host, Rick, does a beautiful job of drawing unique conversations and insights from each guest he brings to share with listeners. Love the tone, energy and brilliance that is revealed in each episode.
