Out actor/producer/writer Kevin Spirtas has spearheaded a new digital series set to premiere on Amazon Video April 24th titled, “After Forever."

With a tag line that reads, “A story about love, loss and new beginnings,” the series chronicles the journey of a gay couple, their group of friends, and how they deal with the losses in their lives.

Fans know Kevin not only from his long-running role as "Dr. Craig Wesley" on Days of Our Lives, and films like the Friday the 13th series, he's an Indie Series Award winner and garnered an Emmy nomination for his work on the digital series "Winterthorne;" plus there's his many appearances on Broadway in hits like A Chorus Line, Hairspray, Meet Me In St. Louis and The Boy from Oz where he stood by for superstar Hugh Jackman.

He’s also had a second parallel career as a producer of projects like a staged reading at the New York Shakespeare Festival starring Meryl Streep, and was on the producing teams that brought the Finian’s Rainbow revival as well as Priscilla Queen of the Desert to Broadway.

Kevin chats with me about "After Forever" in this episode of The Randy Report.

Note: Podcast contains mature discussion of human sexuality

It’s no surprise that the most obvious trait that sets gay men apart from the rest of the world is the fact that we have sex with men.

But in truth, few of us ever had someone explain or teach us about gay sexuality.

Today I’m talking to popular “sex positive” YouTube vlogger Davey Wavey.

With over a million subscribers to his YouTube channel and over 400 million views of his videos, Davey Wavey has spent years covering LGBT topics relating to sex, relationships, coming out, dating, boys, and just about anything having to do with homosexuality.

Davey chats about his latest endeavor - a website called Himeros.tv which he describes as “an erotic playground for men who have sex with men to enhance their experience of sex and sexuality.”

Davey’s goal is to help gay men connect better with one another as well challenge men to learn more about themselves.
