Food 4 Thot

Food 4 Thot is a LGBT podcast hosted by Tommy Pico, Dennis Norris II, Joseph Osmundson, and Fran Tirado. The podcast is described as, "A multiracial mix of queer writers talk about sex, relationships, race, identity, what we like to read, and who we like to read."
Background.
The four hosts met at Tin House Summer Writer's Workshop in 2016. In an interview with The Stranger, the hosts said, "The podcast’s conception stemmed from a discussion about how literary and intellectual spaces rarely allowed for conversations about things typically considered—well, not so intellectual. We loved talking about queer theory, identity politics, and Ta-Nehisi Coates, but also Mariah Carey’s Vine account, nail polish, and our absolutely filthiest hook-up stories. In a world where those conversations were so often separated, where could one get both?" "The New York Times" described the podcast as "boisterous, intellectual and sometimes profane".
Alexander Chee, Melissa Febos, Steven Canals, Alok Vaid-Menon, Bowen Yang, Jenna Wortham, and Ashley C. Ford have all appeared as guests on the podcast.
Food 4 Thot's second season was produced in partnership with the dating app, Grindr, and was available to stream on the app In July 2019, they joined the iHeartRadio podcast network.
