NEW YORK, Nov. 15, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The instant success and first-of-its-kind podcast Food 4 Thot* will debut their second season on December 10, 2017, after a much-anticipated wait from its global audience and highly dedicated following on social media. This season will also be distributed in partnership with INTO, Grindr's newly-minted digital lifestyle magazine for the global LGBTQ community, and will now take the big step of being weekly instead of biweekly. This media partnership is the first of its kind in the queer media world. INTO and Food 4 Thot are doing things differently by joining forces to continue a shared mission of diversifying LGBT representation with intellectual rigor to the current administration.

Don't miss Season 2 of the sassiest, trashiest podcast on the internet in partnership with INTO.
Don't miss Season 2 of the sassiest, trashiest podcast on the internet in partnership with INTO.

Self-described as "like NPR, on poppers," this independently distributed roundtable discussion podcast quickly became the indie darling of the podcasting world hit #19 on iTunes within its first month, beating heavy hitters like Malcolm Gladwell and Lena Dunham on the podcasting charts, and garnering press from places like Vice, Vulture, AV Club, and The New Yorker. Its audience is vast, gaining listenership in places where it's illegal to be queer, like Australia, China, Uganda, and Saudi Arabia.

"Working with INTO is a thot-crossover come true. It's such a relief to work with a brand that shares the same value sets in sex-positivity, multiplicity of perspective in the queer community, thought-provoking queer content, resistance, and incorporation of trans and nonbinary voices," says co-host Fran Tirado. "We have a lot of surprises in store, and we're positively stoked."

"Over at INTO we have all been great fans of Food 4 Thot since the premiere episode for its fab hosts, hot topics and exemplary writing," said INTO Editor-in-Chief, Zach Stafford. "This partnership is an example of INTO's openness to partnering with the broader LGBT media community to bring only the best in queer writing, information and culture to our readers.

They will also be headlining the inaugural Brooklyn Podcast Festival on November 19, 2017, with special guest, the Comedy Central star Joel Kim Booster. (ticketf.ly/2xzM18K )

The hosts are Tommy "Teebs" Pico, critically acclaimed indigenous American poet and author, writer and MacDowell Fellow Dennis Norris II, scientist-memoirist Joseph Osmundson, and Fran Tirado, Executive Editor at Hello Mr.

Their iconic branding and graphics for the website were done by Art Director Ben Wagner and images by National Geographic & NYTimes photographer Michael George.

The trailer for Season 2 of Food 4 Thot is available on iTunes, and their website. Keep in touch with the Thots on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, or subscribe to the newsletter at the bottom of their website.

*It's not at all about food, we just really like the pun.

"Four diverse queer men who have made it a point to focus on the intersection of race and queerness" -Vice

"The absorbing new podcast focused on gay life from an intersectional perspective" -AV Club

"One of the most fun conversational podcasts to come along in awhile" -Nicholas Quah, Vulture

"Some much-needed colorful queer perspective to the world of panel-style podcasts." -OUT
