Take a moment to share your thoughts about Archer. We’re all heart-broken about his death so let’s share those good memories and stories about him and his husband Warren (and don’t worry if someone else has the same memory or story… post yours as well). And come back and read the stories others post.
Special Thanks to Mrs. LaLaLaLauren for sharing her talents with this original artwork.
One of my favorite memories of Archer is when he told the story of a gentleman caller who a bit too well prepared soiled Archer’s fancy plaid duvet before anything inappropriate even happened.
Archer seeing this just cried „Hey dude, you are leaking!” and threw him out.
He was just brilliant in so many ways.
Archer will always have a special place in my heart and I will always remember him, especially when I am having cheerios for breakfast. I will miss his kindness and peculiar wit, his funny stories and his love for apple products. His pupils called him a treasure and I couldn’t agree more.
Oh, and no one could pull off wearing plaid and sensible shoes like he did, and without bragging, coming from me this is saying something.
I met Archer face to face in New Orleans at Pride48. It was a very warm day and several of us were in the pool of the hotel. I remember him asking questions and really listening to the answers. He was so kind and his presence was indeed positive and uplifting. Such a laid back and gentle man. I will miss him.
The number of gang bangs that went over night and we were all overserved. Price check on tampons! The laughs we all shared is a treasured memory.
With every return to podcasting I made, Paul always supported and encouraged me.
Meeting him in New Orleans was a legitimate highlight. He hugged me so tight. He always treated me like I was a real pal and not just somebody from the internet. But I think he was like that with everyone.
Every year around Christmas, we would tag one another on the Facebook with I’m Linda Mason when we watched Holiday Inn. It always made me laugh.
Of course there’s the plaid shirts, crispy tilapia, racist chips and salsa, and Grey Ghost wine. The political talks and him sharing memories of his parents.
Archer Radio is one of the reasons I got into podcasting and I have this huge extended family. For this I am eternally grateful.
I got to meet Archer at Pride 48 in NOLA. It was especially thrilling on my part because Archer was one of the first podcasts I listened to back in the early days.
I honestly can’t remember if Archer was first or John Ong. Found both about the same time. But that isn’t important right now. Gee! I’m rambling.
But it was great meeting Archer. He was warm and very friendly.
Later, we were on the Big Brother recap show that Adam and Fatty hosted. Lots of fun and Archer always had good observations.
He asked me to be on a couple of his gang bang podcasts. That was intimidating because of the “3 questions.” I learned pretty quickly that “average” was not an acceptable answer. But I don’t measure.
Would have made podcasting history if I had measured live on the show, but then again I’d need someone to talk dirty to me. Would have changed the show rating and maybe kicked off iTunes.
What always struck me about Archer was his love for Warren. For years we heard about the Boyfriend. The things they did together. Warren’s special meal prep because Archer didn’t eat a lot of things.
It was wonderful when he announced their marriage. I’m so sorry they didn’t get to spend more retirement years together.
Archer, you are missed.
I didn’t know Archer and I never listened to his Little Show, but my heart goes out to his husband Warren and to BF on the loss of their loved one and friend.
Anyone that is a friend of BF is a good person and deserves to be honored and remembered.
Rest in Peace, Archer!

Like others, I met Archer at NOLA Pride 48. I was not a listener and had no idea of his long history in Podcasting.
We had several conversations that weekend. He was warm and open to questions. Paul even helped me with an interstitial. After the event, I learned of his podcast history and was even more impressed with the man.
The news of his passing hit hard. Warm thoughts to Warren. Rest well Paul Armstrong.
Paul was one of those people that was so genial and warm that you felt like you knew him forever. I think I only met him IRL in New Orleans when I had the pleasure of sitting next to him at dinner. I am so appreciative of the fact that he was one of the gay podcast trailblazers. My heart goes out to Warren as well as Paul’s family and friends. He will be deeply missed.
Denis & I never missed an episode of Archer’s Podcast. Paul always spoke of his and Warren’s escapades around Washington D.C., going to wineries, going out to dinner playing a certain song when they went to Norah O’Donnell’s hubby’s restaurant, to his newer buddy Betsy in his building who Paul always helped out, APPLE & Scotty always called in with his thoughts, his sewing hobby making pillows, oreo cookie different flavor taste tests, bird watching with many pictures shared, his family & twin brother & in his last videos Paul mentioned his health where he paused in his concern but was upbeat. And lastly Paul & Warren started doing a cooking show together. Warren the cook & Paul the videographer. Love, Love and more love to Paul & Warren, Denis & Chris.
I didn’t know Paul and he didn’t know me, but being a Canadian listener for many years, I felt like he was an old friend. I was shocked and saddened by news of his passing and will miss hearing his voice in my ear as I did my morning walks. He always brought a smile to my face or uplifted my moods when I needed it most. I’ve been thinking about him and his family and will miss him dearly.
One of the OGG (Second G for gay) podcasters I was introduced to Archerr Radio through podcast shout outs. I was hooked with the first show I listened to. I loved the gang bangs Paul would do on his show, the three questions everyone had to answer which seemed to be a juxtaposition to his regular talk about Apple products and wines. But it was one of the things that made him special. My favorite memory of him, however, was during the Pride48 Live after shows when after a few too many, he would cut loose with the most hilarious comments and dry humor I’ve heard in the podosphere. I will truly miss him, he is gone too soon. Blessed be.
gosh; where to even begin?! Heaps of podcasts, heaps of laughs, heaps of cash gone to Apple!
So many great entertaining moments, thanks to you Archerr. I am really glad I could meet you in real life once; NOLA 2018.
Now i just need to work out to re-download some old episodes. I will miss him dearly.
I was late to find Archerr Radio through Pride48 but he quickly became a favourite and I’d listen in live to his gang bang shows whenever I could.
It was great to meet him in person in New Orleans at the live events. He was so kind and genuinely funny to be around.
He’ll be missed
