Definitely feels homemade but hosts are earnest and it fills a need. Audio quality needs attention. You have to put volume to highest setting to hear the conversation but then you get eardrums destroyed by the ads. Really hoping things improve because there’s room for a pod like this in the mainstream

The Happy Health Homo podcast is a joyful, insightful, and refreshingly honest listen. The hosts, Joel and Keegan bring warmth, humor, and a wealth of knowledge to every episode, creating a safe and affirming space for gay men navigating health, wellness, and relationships. Their chemistry is effortless, and their conversations feel both intimate and empowering. What sets this podcast apart is its ability to blend lighthearted banter with genuine, actionable advice that uplifts and strengthens gay relationships. Whether you’re tuning in for a laugh, a life lesson, or a little inspiration, Happy Health Homo delivers every time. Highly recommended!

I’m a 34yo gay man in the Midwest of the US, I came out somewhat recently at 30yo and still feel like I’m a “baby gay” in many ways. I appreciate you both very much for giving your perspectives on the gay community, challenging cultural norms in our community, and telling me it’s okay to be who I am and not what society, gay or otherwise, expects me to be. I seem to attract a lot of lesbians, they’re some of my best friends and I love them dearly, but I do crave gay male friends at times and listening to your podcast, I finally feel like I have some. Thank you, Joel and Keegan, for creating this podcast. Please know you’re doing important work and I for one appreciate you very much. -Tim

I’m 37 and just started not only coming out to other people, but myself too. I always knew I was gay I suppose, but honestly didn’t live like that at all until recently and repressed so much of it. So I denied myself most of the sexuality benchmarks most people have in life. I ended up developing some pretty unhealthy practices. Apps/the Internet usually give space to emotionless/loveless sex practices and a lot of times damaging habits. Coming across content like this really has me simply repeating the name of the podcast. Happy. Healthy. Homo. So I’ve started my journey and focus on being happy and healthy and gay. Thank you guys so much for this. It really is helping change the perspective everyone has on what it can mean to be gay.

Great podcasts with great topics and I like the personal stories as well. Both are very approachable, intelligent and informative. My only criticism is the ads. I know you need to pay for expenses but they are too distracting and frustrating. Maybe better editing so they don’t pop up during mid sentence. I have listened to podcasts where they place ads in beginning so I can enjoy the podcast without any distractions. Other than that great. Appreciate all of your hard work. Side note love your YouTube channel I even subscribe. Thank you. Sending you lots of love and happy energy.

I found this podcast randomly on YouTube because I used to watch Joel and Lia. I can’t stop listening. I like the advice, banter, and helpfulness of the podcast!

Hey fellows, I just found your podcast, after a big purge of political shows, that I would normally listen to to stay informed about what’s going on (frightening) in the US. Your casual banter and positive energy about us homos is so welcome. Thanks for providing the opportunity for queer folks to join the conversation ✔️

I found your podcast episode about conflict in relationships on the night of a bad fight with my boyfriend, and it was just a space that I really needed. Thank you for making that episode and I’m excited to listen to much more.

I’m a new listener but I’m so glad I found y’all’s podcast in a time where I needed this space to learn how grow confident in my sexuality and discuss the issues that affect LGBT+ people. Joel and Keegan seem like awesome people and it’s inspiring seeing a loving couple talking topics that matter, so thanks doing this!

Joel and Keegan are role models for our community. I’ve been listening since Season 1 and have challenged my own thoughts and beliefs about myself and others because of discussions on the podcast. I have grown and become a better person because of the self-reflection initiated by this podcast. Thank you both for the time and energy you put into this work!

I’ve never been one to listen to podcast & learned about Happy Healthy Homo from their instagram page & gave it a shot. I love it & thank you both for it! I learn a lot from these podcasts

I only gave them 5 stars because I couldn't give them 10!! Wish you guys were around when I was growing up and coming out. I had no role models and had to wing it on my own and that was not a good thing. I guarantee that you're saving many guys health and well-being just watching how you interact with each other, as well as the rest of humanity! Keep up the good work!

I’ve followed Joel for years and was so happy to hear of this new project! Job well done, gents!

Hey “boyfriends” 😁 You two are hilarious! 😁 Love that you show a real world settled gay relationship which doesn’t revolve around the social scene. So much personal development shining through every week and wisdom from your journeys and kudos for sharing it including where you learned it! I will forgive Joel for dissing Meyers Briggs because you two aren’t qualified. But he is wrong 😁 Keep up the great work and being such superstar role models for millennials, Xers, Boomers, and all the young uns coming up

Great podcast! Feel like I found a treasure here with these two guys. Listening to them is a joy and the way they cover topics is substantial and informative. Love the fun chemistry between these two boyfriends. They make my day. Role models for me in what a relationship could be in real life. Cheers, guys!

I love the banter between the two hosts. The British accents are so enjoyable to hear but the relationship between the hosts is so fun. Great topics and the time of the podcast are perfect. So happy this healthy homo found this podcast. 😃

I truly love listening to thee discussions and find many things apply to me. Even when they don’t, just listening is great because these discussions are things that will help us feel better and do better as we walk through life.

I love your podcast and your YouTube channels. Keep up the great work! Thanks for doing your part in making the world a better place for everyone.

Thank you for making something that helps so many people.

Thank you Joel and Keegan for normalizing same sex relationships, helping us see that they have the same potential to be every bit as healthy or as or toxic as hetero relationships, choosing the healthy, and taking the listener on that journey with you. I love getting to witness the care you both have for each other in your interactions. In response to your episode on religion, for those who have come from Christian conservative non-affirming spaces like I have and want to learn better how to move the needle forward in accordance to the language and values that appeal to those spaces, I highly recommend The Reformation Project as an incredibly helpful resource.

In a world of “influencers” these two seem to be as authentic as you can be when living a public life. I have enjoyed watching their YT channel and following their journey.

Keep up the good work guys!

Absolutely wonderful hosts with topics relevant to our regular lives. I’ve watched Joel for years and am thrilled to see how he and Keegan have developed as such positive role models for our community. Well done, gentlemen. Well done, indeed!

Five stars! Joel and Keagan are two funny guys who cover a variety of topics. You do not have to be gay to enjoy this podcast 😂😂

Fantastic couple. Real. Kind. Full of good advice with humor. They offer very helpful advice, humbly. I’m 74, and still learn and find many good ideas including some advice that confirms some of the difficult decisions I have had to make in life. Uplifting and fun. Charlie in California

I have been listening to all of your Podcasts and have really benefited from listening to you guys. I am an older guy in the US and I have been able to relate to so much of what you are sharing and it really does make me feel more like I belong and continuing to help me feel more comfortable in my own shoes! I also subscribe to all of your YouTube channels and watch them faithfully, and I am so glad U2 found each other, you really have a special spark, and it is so nice to see that. May God and the universe continue to bless both of you on your journey through life and thanks again for sharing your adventures with us. Brian Renk.

Love you guys so much. All the conversations you have no matter how big or small are such great advice to every day people. You guys have created a space that i could have totally used years ago. Can’t wait to see what the future holds for this! Thank you for your hard work and dedication to the podcast !

Keegan and Joel are entertaining, witty and fun! I appreciate the lighthearted yet substantive approach to serious topics with some entertaining fluff in the mix. They strike a good balance and I can’t get enough. Listening in feels like I’m part of a conversation amongst friends and it makes my work day go a bit more quickly.

“Happy Healthy Homo” consistently hits the mark as five-star content. Keegan and Joel are relatable, intellectual, and respectful, and their content is timely. As a gay man, I appreciate the sincerity and familiarity with which they discuss everything from dating to travel to religion to marriage to family. I’m particularly grateful for their podcast because I listen to it on the treadmill, and it makes that time go so much faster. You, too, will be hooked after just one episode, and you’ll return for each that follows. Sit back and enjoy. This is time well spent.

Everything covered here is from the perspective of two white mid-30s men who really don't seem to interact or participate in the community. It's a fluffy lifestyle channel, and I don't think either of them has ever participated in a march or protest. They stopped having guests because "it ws a pain to get them" I think Hirst is well read on topics impacting the LGBTQ+ community, Wood is just a Peter Pan type who makes silly videos on instagram and TikTok. They can be entertaining, but this is all fluff and a vehicle for more viewers on their individual channels.

As someone who lost the community they’ve been with for 27 years and have struggled to find my place in the LGBT. This podcast acts as my North Star. Love it. ❤️

“I don’t judge people that do it, but gross…” 🙄

It is so refreshing to hear that other people have similar viewpoints. In a community that can oftentimes make one feel alone or alienated, it is nice to feel that there are others who share similar perspectives.

I’m so glad I found yall! Been following Joel on Insta for quite sometime, but your podcast has quickly become my no. 1! I’m looking forward to all of the episodes coming up!

Use to watch Joel on YouTube with Lia

It’s a pleasure to spend some time with you guys weekly! It’s great that you are so available - the youngins need to see examples of our gay clan, that do not contain drugs, desperation and excessivness in unhealthy ways. My husband and I love you guys! From Massachusetts USA!

This podcast quite literally changed my life. I came across it randomly—in hindsight I think it was definitely meant to be—and felt a sense of joy and satisfaction I was searching for. I’m beyond grateful for the community you both have created and I feel incredibly seen through your content. You guys are amazing!!!

Thank you for making this podcast! My partner and I have been together 13 years and recently got married. We met in our 30s when I was newly out after being married to a woman and having 2 kids. We’ve navigated the ups and downs of parenting, our relationship, our friendships, and being part of the gay community. I appreciate hearing about your experiences and your thoughts on topics that my partner and I often discuss. You both are relatable to many of us. Keep doing what you are doing.

Curing my trauma and helping me accept myself!

Just started listening due to a TikTok clip about being gay and a Christian. It resonated with me so much and now I’m hooked on the podcast. It’s so great. I can’t wait to go back and listen to all the older episodes.

I have been out for MANY years and early on, there were very few models for gay people in the area of relationships. I ran across HHH a few months ago, on YouTube, but they were just snippets. And last week, I listened to the entire podcast on VD (get your minds out of the gutter- Valentines Day) and was converted. So I went to Patreon and signed up. Loved the ideas on Date Nights. Also, saw a piece of one trip to Blackpool to an amusement park. Keep up the great work guys. Best wishes going forward!

I came out years ago………to be honest it wasn’t much of a coming out bc I just assumed everyone knew. So there wasn’t of a process to my “coming out.” Anyway I love listening to their perspectives on their experiences since it happened in their adult lives with all kinds of outside pressures- life in the spotlight, marriage, children and religion. I love their chemistry and you can tell even beyond their love and affection for one another they also respect each other. Great show!!

I’m not a part of the LGBTQ+ community but I still enjoy listening to this podcast. Their content is smart, educational, and enjoyable.

Interesting concept, and am holding out for the second season and guests. The options and experiences shared tend to be from a tiny sliver of the gay experience- so look forward to guests that can add more dimension. One big disagreement…while I liked episode 6 and the idea of letting people in instead coming out..,we need to come out. We need to show that we aren’t alone - be it for the little kid isolated on a small town or a 60 year old that feels like they are the only one to come out so late. Visibility matters and without it…you wouldn’t have a podcast. Update I really want to like this - but the podcast is verging on how great they are and how they are an example of the healthy life. A bit more introspection and diversity would be welcomed. More queer people of color, not masc presenting, and those of less economic means…could be better.

Thanks for being 100% real and honest. They provide clear perspectives and understanding on taboo and current topics. Thank you for help and sharing.

I found Joel & Keegan on TikTok. I loved their content, but felt I needed more than the clips so I started listening to the full podcast. Great topics and their approach to presenting topics keeps things moving along. I feel like I’m sitting in the backseat of the car listening to two friends discuss topics in the front seat. Give them a try!

Greetings from Tulsa, OK. Joel your take on the history of the pink triangle. I so enjoy this podcast. However, I enjoy your vlogcast better because of the handsome eye-candy of the two of you and Keegan. Bless the success of this podcast and y’all’s fidelity. Best regards, Brent

These two men have a great insight to what’s going on within the LGBTQ+ world. They are funny and entertaining while they address important issues.

Really appreciate the emphasis on mental health. Also love the way you two support one another. Great example of a healthy relationship. Enjoying the series so far. Good luck to you both!

Nice conversation between two fun people and guests
