Doctor DILF podcast launches for Pride Month!
Doctor DILF and Doctor DILF: Extra Length, the health podcasts for older gay and bisexual men launch on Podbean and Apple Podcasts for Pride Month 2026!
After months of hard work, talking with an array of experts, chatting with mates, scheduling, planning, and learning new skills, Doctor DILF: the health podcast for older gay and bisexual men is finally here! Phew! And it’s only now I’ve reached the finish line, do I realise it’s actually the start of a whole new chapter…!
I’m Dr. Simon Fox, a doctor of public health, and a specialist in LGBTQ+ healthy aging. What seems like a lifetime ago now, I had the idea of converting my doctorate into a podcast, bringing public health in an accessible form to the people who I have spent years studying, partying with, and laughing with… gay and bisexual men.
Well, I say gay and bisexual men… Doctor DILF is for anyone who identifies as a man. In this increasingly strange world of ours, it’s important to be as inclusive, warm, and friendly as possible. Even if you don’t identify as a man - welcome aboard anyway! The more the merrier!
Every week for the next few weeks, Doctor DILF will bring you experts to strip back the myths and misinformation of our health and to bring out the facts that matter to us. These aren’t stodgy overly-long interviews. They’re friendly, relaxed and fun chats, just long enough for your run or workout or lunch break. That’s what Doctor DILF is designed to be - hearing voices and advice tailored for your ears and your life.
Doctor DILF also has a brother podcast - Doctor DILF: Extra Length! Each episode, a regular panel of three older gay men chew the fat about the topic of the week. It’s candid, revealing, witty, and very often NSFW. Doctor DILF: Extra Length came about through having identified the need for older gay male voices as a counterpoint to the experts. Think of him as the spicy sibling of the pair, spilling the tea and having a laugh. The idea behind this is to provide a sort of triangulation for you, the listeners, creating a three-way conversation between the experts, the panellists and you, joining in the conversation using the #DoctorDILF hashtag on social media. All I ask is that you respect one another. We won’t all agree and that’s OK too.
That’s not to say that it’s all a laugh. The podcasts do have content and food for thought that may be, at times, challenging. That’s because life is often challenging, as we all damn well know. I’m not going to treat you all like idiots by glossing over the difficult bits because you’re intelligent human beings who deserve better. We all deserve better. However, I do provide trigger warnings wherever possible, so keep an eye out for them on the show notes and an ear out for them in the episodes themselves. I also regularly signpost you to organisations who may be able to help if you’re having a hard time.
Doctor DILF has evolved naturally, and will continue to evolve. This website will continue to evolve over time too. I didn’t get everything done I wanted to get done, but that’s life. Bear with me. Likewise bear with me regarding techie things - I’m learning fast!
Doctor DILF will evolve through you. Doctor DILF is about you, for you, by you. If you think of a subject you want covered, contact me via this website or on social media. Again, please be kind and respectful. You can find the podcast on BlueSky under @DoctorDILF.
I’d like to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to all the contributors, all the well-wishers, everyone who suggested things, and all those who just kept me going. The incredible response convinced me of the need for this podcast and keeps me going. I have great plans for Doctor DILF and I’m already formulating ideas for Series 2!
Lastly, have a safe and very wonderful Pride Month. We are all better sticking together, now more so than ever. Share the love!
As I say every episode, be good to each other and just keep talking.
With love,
Simon x
