“You can hear the couple’s affection and pain when they explore stressors on their marriage, like the lingering effects of his absent father and their financial struggles. There are times when each spouse breaks down in tears, along with moments of laughter and good-natured teasing, usually punctuated by an “I love you” from Mr. Chapman. Listeners shared their joy when, a year after her miscarriage, Ms. Chapman gave birth to their daughter, Drew, now 2.”

“Scream, Queen! isn’t technically a comedy podcast. Billed as a show ‘about scary movies, by people not typically depicted in scary movies,’ it sees hosts Drea Washington and Tommy Pico (Food 4 Thot) approach the genre from a “Black/queer/Indigenous perspective” and, as they say, ‘have a damn good time’ They never fail to deliver on either front…this smart and funny podcast is sure to get you thinking and leave you laughing.”

— Becca James, “This Week in Comedy Podcasts”, Vulture

“If you’re looking for something energetic, whip smart, and ludicrously fun — and if you, like me, are the sort of person who’s generally interested in horror movies but lacks the intestinal fortitude to sit through them on the reg — this is the podcast for you.”

— Nick Quah, “Vaccine Scammers, Scream Queens”, Vulture

“While it's not solely focused on books, the Food 4 Thot podcast serves up plenty of entertainment, or as their site says, "giving thots like us a seat at the scholarly table." Queer friends Joseph, Dennis, Tommy, and Fran discuss identity, sex, the latest in pop culture, and their favorite books. It's all delivered with engaging flair that will spice up your literary world.”

“The want ad read “gay podcast looking for gay people,” and Alexandra DiPalma knew it was her ticket out of the branded audio content doldrums. She signed on to produce Food 4 Thot, “a podcast gabfest wherein a multiracial mix of queer writers gather ‘round to talk about sex, relationships, race, identity, culture, what we like to read, and who we like to read,” shortly after its first season began. Within three seasons, the podcast was getting nods from none other than Oprah.”

“It’s spooky season, and new podcast Scream, Queen! is here to offer insightful takes on scary movies. More specifically, hosts Tommy Pico (Food 4 Thot) and Drea Washington “dish about what goes bump in the night — from a black/queer/indigenous perspective—and have a damn good time.” It’s the latter note that will get you laughing. As the hosts analyze horror movies, they crack wise about the absurd tropes that often plague the genre, bringing their impressive love for horror to three distinct segments.”

— Vulture Editors, “Black History is Black Horror”, Vulture

“Why You Should Listen: A mix of queer writers host a rosé-fueled podcast about everything from identity politics to poetry to bad hookup stories. Hosts Tommy Pico, Fran Tirado, Dennis Norris II and Joe Osmundson swing from the entertaining (like when they play “Swipe Right, Swipe Left” on cultural icons and news topics) to the serious, like how to navigate the gym as a non-binary person. Sex positivity is a major theme of each episode, a topic still all-too-rare in the podcasting world.”

— Eliana Dockterman, “The 50 Best Podcasts to Listen to Right Now”, Time Magazine

“Shows like Food 4 Thot, Nancy, and How To Be a Girl are challenging the mainstream. Once dominated by bros shouting over one another about sports, or straight, white comics making jokes about ‘the missus’, podcasting has since blossomed into a safe space for queer people to spotlight fascinating stories from the LGBTQ community. With humour, artistry and empathy, queer podcasters are championing the people and the movements that have shaped our shared history.”

— Thomas Adam Curry, “Six queer podcasts you should be listening to right now”, Dazed

Named Best Podcast. “Scream, Queen is a hilarious and insightful horror commentary podcast hosted by two people of color, Drea Washington and queer poet Tommy Pico. Considering the genre consists of mostly white actors, writers, and directors, Washington and Pico look at horror from an outsider's perspective.. Washington and Pico shine a light on their favorite characters, themes, and films while generating plenty of laughs. This is the pop-culture horror podcast for people who hate pop culture.”

“If you like podcasts, books, gossip, and gay stuff, and you do not already listen to Food 4 Thot, you've got to get on it. They are a multiracial group of young queer writers sitting around drinking rosé and talking about experiences in publishing, irritating people they've dated, Beyoncé, favorite canonical literature, poppers, gay bars, whether Zadie Smith is a top, dating apps, Beyoncé, identity politics, food, three-ways, television, and Beyoncé.

They say that Food 4 Thot is a discussion "at the intersection of queerness and brownness," and they freely admit to the Beyonce thing, boasting that subjects range from "from Beyoncé to Borges, politics to peen sizes, Nietzsche to 90s R&B." Recently, they had Alexander Chee on as a guest.”
