}}{{italic title}}Thirst Aid Kit is a podcast about celebrity lust and sexual desire hosted by journalist Bim Adewunmi and writer Nichole Perkins. The podcast premiered on November 1, 2017 and was officially produced by BuzzFeed until January 2019. The podcast was named to "best podcast" lists by Time and Entertainment Weekly.[1]

History

Adewunmi and Perkins worked together at BuzzFeed and mutually enjoyed discussing pop culture and their celebrity sexual interests. This encouraged them to pitch the idea of a podcast about celebrity crushes to BuzzFeed executives.[1]

The purpose of the podcast is to openly discuss celebrities they find attractive and do so in an unabashed manner.[2][3] According to Perkins, "It's really important to give women a space to show what we are interested in and what women want."[1][4] They also use Thirst Aid Kit to highlight people whose work may be well known, but their face is less familiar, such as director Ryan Coogler.[5] The name Thirst Aid Kit refers to the slang meaning of the word thirst, which refers to sexual desire.

The first episode premiered on November 1, 2017. On January 25, 2019, it was announced that BuzzFeed would no longer produce the podcast and the hosts are currently looking for a new sponsor.[6] One day prior, BuzzFeed announced company-wide layoffs which eliminated 15% of their staff.[7]

Accolades

  • Best Fan Community, The A.V. Club[8] (2018)
  • Best Podcasts of 2018, Entertainment Weekly[9]
  • The 50 Best Podcasts to Listen to Right Now, Time[10] (2018)

Format

Each episode typically focuses on a single actor who the hosts find sexually attractive.[5][11] The podcast begins and ends with either host reading a short passage of fan fiction, which they call a drabble, that has been written by Perkins or Adewunmi.[2] The short reading features the focal actor in an intimate, and sometimes sexual, situation with the writer.[2] Next, they explain what makes the actor desirable. Finally they dissect the actor's persona in the context of Hollywood and society at large.

Guests

Thirst Aid Kit sometimes features the person who the episode is about, such as Charlie Cox and Rahul Kohli. On January 28, 2018, the hosts had a phone interview with Chris Evans who was on the set of Infinity War.[1][12] Evans made comments about not perceiving himself as "hot," which were picked up by media outlets such as E!,[13] W,[14] and InStyle.[15]
