1) I doubt the subjects were aware of the context their statements would be framed in.
2) "I would argue the subject of the podcast would consent" is not the same as consent. It's one thing if it's a public figure. The subject of this podcast was not a public figure.

Whether or not it is responsible and/or respectful to share that about the main subject is what I'm pondering in my remarks. It seems ethical from a purely journalistic view, in my opinion.
