Stay ConnectedA multiracial mix of queer writers talk about sex, relationships, race, identity, what we like to read, and who we like to read. It’s not about food — we just really like the pun. Hosted by Denne Michele Norris, Joseph Osmundson, Tommy Pico, and Fran Tirado. Produced by Domino Sound.

On this week's episode, we have Zach Stafford in the haus, coming to you live from Provincetown inside the #StudioByHBO. With the lead of all content at Grindr, we discuss the meaning of "safe spaces" and what it means to make one (or if they even can exist, for that matter.) This is part one of a conversation about safe spaces, brought to you by HBO.

Who owns who’s stories? How do we begin to tell stories across difference? When done so successfully, what defines that success? Barry Jenkins, a straight man, directed Moonlight one of the greatest queer stories in cinema. Ryan Murphy, a cis white man, conceived POSE, the most inclusive cast of trans people of color in the history of broadcast. If Hanya Yanagihara, a straight Hawaiian woman, can write A Little Life, a story about black queer men, only to have penned literally every queer’s favorite book, then how did she do it? Y’all know and understand that Scarlett Johansson should not get to play a trans man on screen — but do y’all understand the mechanics of the why? Tune in.
For appetizers, Joe makes us decipher the difference between slutty Sharon Olds poems and trashy romantic novels. Also, how much sex do the Thots actually have? The answers will horrify you! Tune in.

Hello my little Skittles, have I got some vittles for you: This week’s Junk is a special crossover ep with those gay sluts who love to read, Food 4 Thot! That’s right, we’ve got Fran Tirado, Joseph Osmundson, and Dennis Norris II—nobody’s junior—showing us that Junk can pluck us from the brink of sibling estrangement, Junk can remind us to try with the corny optimism of youth, and Junk can reinforce a meaningful link we have to those we’ve lost, sometimes in ways we didn’t know when they were here. Fran Tirado is a writer, editor, queer community maker, and glitter evangelist. Joseph Osmundson is a scientist, non-fiction writer, total crop Top, and the softest bowl of soft-serve you’ll ever meet. Dennis Norris II—nobody’s junior—is a writer, reader, former figure skater, lapsed violist, and all-star around the way girl. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll eat some gummy peaches, and to finish you off I’ll read a particularly Funyun-flavored excerpt from Junk the epic poem. Brought to you by Tin House Books.

Plus, get a sneak peak at Tommy's new podcast, JUNK, which launches in July from Tin House Books! Enjoy, lil' thotties, and see u next season.

On this, the Food 4 Thot season 2 finale, your favorite Tater Thots come full circle by considering the cycles that govern us all. Whether it’s night and day or life and death, we recognize that beginnings and endings are always present. We pay homage to the place where they intersect and examine our greatest moments of change; for where there is an ending (hopefully a happy ending!), any Thot worth their lube will always find room for possibility—a beginning of sorts. So we ask: can we be lost, and yet found? How do we launch ourselves, as queer brown folk, into the lives that are meant for us? And are we forever stuck in a cycle of surviving beginnings and chasing our desired endings?

Save urself, bbs
This week, we dive deep into politics, organizing, art, and activism. We’re joined by professional activist and boi-with-perfect-biceps Eliel Cruz. As writers, queer folks, and people of color (except Joe), our work is inherently connected to our bodies, and our bodies are, of course, political. But, at the same time, we all need freedom to make our work, even though it’s 2018 and the world is a burning, shit-infused trash heap. Where does this leave us? Is it enough to make work wherein queer and brown people can thrive and be whole? Is posting selfies with Audre Lorde quotes going to save us? Are there limits to protest? Are we just fucked, so we might as well just fuck?
Before we bite the end off of that spicy sausage, we lube you up with some hybrid blends and love notes. Then Teebs tells us how he fell out of love and into writing with a pit-stop in scabie-ville. And we end with our favorite dessert of all time: Queen Cardi.

We consider the difference between two of our favorite Tarot cards: The Hermit, who is alone by choice and on a deep, spiritual journal of self-discovery, and the Eight of Cups, a card of breakups, leaving love behind, losing what we thought we had (possibly without ever getting it back). Which isolations do we choose to fill up our resevoir and which isolations zap and sap our spirits? Baby gurl, are you lonely (Joe) or just alone (Teebs AF)? And, how does being queer – especially outside of big cities – alter this delicate balance?
Before we get to the meaaaaat of the discussion, we decide conclusively that Oprah is a vers-top who loves getting her salad tossed (“YOU get a butthole, and YOU get a butthole”), and Joe O the Science Hoe takes us on a thot-ful tour of the West Coast, wherein he (spoiler alert) loses love and fills the void with… dick, duh.

For our next installment of Food 4 Thot, we shake things up a bit. We get tons of topics submitted for suggestion everyday from our fans, so this week, we take on five.
First off — drag. Why is drag problematic and when can it be great? Then, HIV/AIDS — how does access to healthcare and human rights a problem for people living with the virus? How can you, if you don’t have HIV, work to destigmatize this global epidemic? How can you have unprotected sex safely, and with whom? Next we we talk about whiteness. We get tons of emails from folx who say, “I’m white, help! What do I do now!?” Truly, we cannot help you. But! We have a few pointers to at least guide you on your journey in interacting with people of color on a daily basis. Then, we talk about queer intellectualism and how polarizing it is. (“Am I not smart enough to be queer??”) And finally, we talk about ghosting. When is it ethical? Is it ever ethical? Spoiler: Yes.
Play along with us on our new favorite game: Microbrew or Gay Porn? The game is… exactly what it sounds like. Also, in our Impure Thot story this week, we have a special guest: you! We read through 60 pages of absolutely salacious slutty stories from our very own fans, and they are truly disgusting.

Ciao bellx,
For Food 4 Thot this week, we get into a thick and philosophical question about talent and hard work. When you navigate conversations about your own career, would you say you are talented, or would you say you are hard-working? Are these things in opposition to each other? Is one more important than the other? Do you need both, or if you’re a Kardashian/Jenner, do you need neither?
This week, we play our favorite game Bone Block Bench, and have a riveting discussion about the legacy of Channing Tatum’s thighs. Fran tells a slinky little sex story that takes place, in part, on a pile mulch.
The water’s warm, tune in!

Qyeens,
Boi, do we have a treat for you: this week, honorary podfather Alexander Chee is on Food 4 Thot. We talk about his new book and the art of how to tell your own story — whether it’s on Instagram, in your writing, or with your girlfriends over brunch. Who owns stories, and how do you navigate telling them? Is telling your own story cathartic? Does therapy make you a better storyteller? The master Chee tells all.
In this episode, we also play a ho-ed up version of Never Have I ever. And! In a very special advice segment, Mr. Chee answers questions from the Thots. What’s the biggest thing he learned about writing a novel? Does being a writer make dating easier or harder? (Spoiler: so, so much harder.)
Get the whole shebang and tune in!
Muah.
