I'm referring specifically to how Brian talked about John's sexuality. While it's true that he eventually reports John's own words on the subject, otherwise Brian treats it as a dichotomy between gay and straight, and doesn't even talk about bisexuals, or even men who have sex with men (MSM), which is a distinct and important orientation in its own right.

I didn't think it was his role to explain this. The listener can draw their own conclusions from the material, I think.

Sorry for believing that journalists should report responsibly even in an informal podcast setting.
