It's not for me to decide whether the apology is sufficient, bc I wasn't among the people hurt by Roderick's story. As a listener to one of his podcasts I was familiar with his persona, and his past use of "sarcastic" slurs, so it didn't hit the same for me as it did for others.

I did want to pull gently on one thread, though, which is that he refers to himself as a straight white man twice in the apology. John Roderick is bisexual.

I mean, far be it from me to tell someone else how they should identify, maybe he's had a straight awakening, but he's very open about his physical admiration for men, and he's been publicly out as bisexual in previous interviews and such...

It's is one of the things I liked about him; a very masculine bi guy. So, him calling himself "straight" in the apology is interesting. It is, perhaps, shorthand- he's got a child, he's currently with a women, so he's culturally straight for the purposes of this apology.
