Middle Men
Middle Men is a podcast created for men who don't fit neatly into society's straight or gay categories. The host, Brendan O'Hara, shares his own journey from identifying as straight to coming out as gay, and ultimately landing in the middle. The show offers a space without labels or judgment, where listeners can hear from other guys who understand their experience. It aims to build a community for those who feel caught between worlds, whether they are bi, curious, or simply unlabeled.
