I've been a paid up magnum subscriber for a few years, but like @Rod Hagen recently listened to it less. I first came across him some years ago when he was a speaker at the Sydney Writers Festival, and also appeared on a number of discussion panels on TV. I still enjoy his podcasts when I do listen, and also his commentary on LGBT issues.

He kind of gets the Barny Miller reference wrong, that it's a gay couple on that show, not a single gay.  That couple was unapologetically written as gay, which at the time was commendable for a network show.  Barny Miller treated them as worthy characters. But yeah, that doesn't fit with the Dan Savage story about swishy, hysterical gay dudes.

Dan Savage gives very insightful sex and relationship advice.  He's been doing it for decades, first in a print column and then as a podcaster.  And, he's very funny!

Aside from the podcast, he's a very good author and a film producer.  His main website is here:

I used to read his column weekly when it was in print in my local community newspaper.  I still recall a few very good responses to letters people wrote.

I met him once about 25 years ago. It was at the Joseph Beth Bookstore in Cincinnati for the book signing of his (at the time) new book "Skipping To Gomorrah."  I think it was partially written as a response to something Bill Bennett the former Sec of Education had written or said. 
 

I spoke with him a bit at the bookstore. Later that evening he was going to be eating at the (now long closed) Hamburger Mary's in downtown Cincinnati, and I went to see him there too.  
 

It was either right before or right after my 1st meeting with an escort-and my first sexual experience. I can't really remember what I wanted to talk to him about. It might have been about not wanting to be gay and being closeted. I do remember not being able to express what I wanted to say. There's a good chance I didn't know exactly what I wanted to say-or what I wanted from him.
