I heard of this podcast recently and I have been exclusively listening to this on a binge since then. I cannot count the number of times my jaw drops or I throw my head back in laughter even in public places. Nichole and Bim have such an incredible rapport, which is evident in how open and vulnerable they can be with each other about many things, but mostly in the thirst! I love how deeply these two scrutinize attractiveness in a man. I feel like I’m learning more about myself as a woman who is attracted to men! Also this should 100% be mandatory education for men.

I understand why but I miss this podcast so much. I looked forward eagerly to episodes every week and there aren’t enough words to express how great it was. I will just keep registering to episodes but I sincerely hope it will come back in some new form. If there’s a go fund me or Patreon let me know and take all my money!

Added so many phrases and crushes to my lexicon

Bim and Nichole are like charcuterie and cheese, peanut butter and jelly, gin and tonic, sweet tea and lemon…. The best combinations, serving all flavors, fulfilling all thirst needs. I miss this podcast dearly! Luckily we can all deep dive.

The most thoroughly delightful podcast I’ve ever known. Miss it every day.

Love these fun women.

How did it take me so long to listen to this? I feel like I’m listening to my friends chat about hot men (my friends and I HAVE chatted about hot men like this). They nail so many reasons WHY the men they talk about are attractive, not just that they are good looking (because of course they all are).

I’ve been a fan of both of these lovely comedians and finally decided to listen to their podcast. Turns out the week I picked it up was the week they announced their retirement 🥴. Went through the back catalog and listened anyway and it’s a great show. Thanks ladies for allowing me to thirst for the past and men I can’t have.

Listened to my first podcast about Tom Hardy (after a friend recommendation) and thought the ladies were funny and relatable. Also, referenced Ex Factor by Lauryn Hill. That pretty much sold it for me! Looking forward to listening to more. Love from Ireland.

I so appreciate the LOL moments you gave me during this pandemic! Kudos for holding out sexuality as something to be celebrated and brought into the light. Cheers.

I finished listening to the last show, and I’m in tears as Bim and Nichole give each other their flowers. I’m gonna miss these ladies and their drabbles. Good luck and thank you.

Truly one of the best podcasts that I’ve ever heard and I’m sorry that the pod is ending, but I’m glad that you’re leaving on your own terms. Bim and Nicole were the out loud thirsty convos that my girlfriends and I had for years. I will miss the laughter and joyful lusting. Best of luck to you both!

So good! So smart! Don’t leave us!

Update: THE SLATE PLUS SEGMENT IS WORTH THE MONEY!!! GET INTO IT!!!!! Soooo good!!! This podcast is dangerous I listened to it on my commute and it is almost too much to handle! The hosts are so incredible and I love all of their guest! You must also follow their tumblr but you have been warned its almost too amazing! Thank you so much ladies for my new favorite podcast!!!!

Bim and Nichole are the best! Wry, funny, and bubbling over with warmth, they are deeply knowledgeable in addition to being deeply thirsty. Raise a glass!

Love Love

Woah, these ladies are so great. Fabulous conversations that I often find myself laughing along to. Do yourself a favor and subscribe today!!

Where’s the Greek ? Who are these annoying women? False advertising La people are doomed You are all petty

I dumped this podcast when they ended the June 18th show spouting tr@nsgender ideol0gy and trying to shame women who aren 't backing this ideology, which erases them socially and under law. Calling a woman " dangerous" and "tr@nsphobic" for stating reality is neither of those things. What it is, is misogynist. So sadly, these women are undermining other women by promoting an ideology that is harmful to girls, women, as well as homosexuals. People, especially women, and most especially black women, are getting sick of being socially shamed, bullied, and ultimately censored, because other women feel the need to perform wokeness. These hosts are disappointment and pathetic. Women who would actually empower other women, and are not the male-centered shills for misogyny that these two hosts are, should take this idea and create a decent, listenable podcast. Aesthetically speaking, these two hosts have horrible narrating voices. Their quavery, meek timbres of their voices are the aural equivalent of what it must feel like to have cockroaches climb in your ears.

Bim & Nicole are the perfect hosts for such a fun and thought provoking pod. It’s not just about beautiful men (although even if it was I would have zero objections loool) it’s also about giving artists their due and bringing an attention to the work that they do that is often replaced by the fanfare of celebrity. I love it and you probably will too!

Listening to Bim and Nichole giggling is a true delight. They have gorgeous, soothing voices and I could listen to them all day.

This podcast is EXACTLY what so many of us needed & need. It’s the first one I recommend to all of my friends, and it has me in stitches from the beginning of each episode. Thank you for your hard work!!

The dissertation-level thorough analysis, laugh out loud humor, and excellent screenplay-worthy writing from two extremely talented black women make this podcast EXCELLENT & INDISPENSABLE. Thank you Bim & Nichole!! Hope you get all the credit for creating the thirst genre of culture & academic discourse.

This show is the perfect lighthearted escape right now during pandemic life.

I adore this podcast; it is lighthearted and hilarious, deep and soul-searching...it has everything. Bim and Nichole’s voices are a balm to soothe whatever ails you.

I am a slate plus subscriber so this automatically gets downloaded to my feed. I hate it. The answer to society’s objectification of women is not to turn around and do the same to men (I am a woman).

Oh my-it’s as if you both have pulled all my crushes from my brain, slapped them down on a table and shouted-“discuss!”. Bless you for the smiles, giggles and laugh out loud moments you have brought me. So happy to have found this podcast!

I love you both and every episode is a gift! Thank you for your work and your laughter! 💗💗💗💗💗💗

I could listen to Bim and Nichole laugh together all day, keep it up, you’re fantastic.

You guys. YOU GUYS! This is such an amazing gift and I am so glad to have found y’all—most recent episode specifically I gasped when Moonlighting came up. Good lord. Bim + Nichole 4eva

This podcast is irresistible, Bim Adewunmi and Nichole Perkins have such charisma - I laugh and blush with every episode.

I listen to a lot of podcasts, often out of order of release depending on my time availability, mood, etc. TAK is the *only* podcast I giddily start the moment it lands in my feed. Bim and Nichole are glorious hosts who always leave me smiling, often slyly <<swirls whisky on rocks>>. Thank you for this gift. 🙏🏻

Even before this pandemic, I always looked forward to the weekly release of a Thirst Aid Kit episode because I knew I could look forward to an hour of entertainment, laughter and escape from the struggles of the real world for a little while. Bim and Nichole are wildly hilarious and their chemistry with each other is a joy to experience. Such a necessary podcast, especially now. Thank you for the fun and the escape. Keep up the great work, ladies!!!

After listening to the first episode, I was convinced I’d found my soulmates. I’ve been hooked ever since! This podcast is hilarious, educational, and a tall drink of water to quench my thirst. Share it with your friends!!!

Hit on my low key man Clive Owen!

I've loved TAK since its inception, and I tell all my friends about it every chance I get. Bim and Nichole's balance of thoughtful discourse and cheeky filth are refreshing, and their drabbles leave me in a puddle of giggles. Thank you for the joy you bring!

More people should listen to this show! It’s charming and fun and great.

How have I only JUST found this podcast?! I have started at the beginning and I will listen to every single episode. I can’t stop. Thirst on ladies, thirst on! P.S. if you don’t know about thecreekman on Instagram hurry and find him. My current Thirst!

This podcast has rescued me from many a bad day, an insecure day, an unbearable day. It’s so good that I, stingy as hell, just subscribed to Slate Plus because I need every scrap of content I can get from TAK. I am in so, so deep. Love yourself and listen.

This podcast has offered a light into my life during dreadful work hours. I giggle, I yearn, and daydream. What a perfect duo!

This podcast is everything I didn’t know I needed.

This podcast bring me so much joy! I love hearing Bim and Nichole make each other laugh and delight in the drabbles of pop culture thirst. Really, it’s the most fun I’ve ever had with my ears :-)

Bless you, Slate, for listening to the people (a la NBC-saves-Brooklyn-99), and giving us back Bim and Nichole. This show is the lid to my podcast pot.

Simply, the best

This show is everything! They’ve helped me develop my language for thirst! Seriously don’t drive and listen!!

I love this show so much. Bim and Nichole are so funny witty and smart. Didnt know a podcast could completely fill me with joy. Hope it never ends.

Filth. Absolute filth. Five stars.

This podcast is everything I didn’t know I needed. I’m so grateful for its return. Incredibly smart, sexy and hilarious. Also inspired me to start writing my own drabble! Thank you Bim and Nicole ❤️

A podcast embracing female sensuality and sexuality. I love this. It’s so poetic and romantic and passionate. This show has inspired me to write again and that’s fantastic. Women needed this more than we know. It feels amazing to be validated in this way. Yes and yes!

Ladies....this is joy right here
