Summary
Welcome to HOOVERING, the podcast about eating. Host, Jessica Fostekew (Guilty Feminist, Motherland) has a frank conversation with an interesting person about gobbling; guzzling; nibbling; scoffing; devouring and wolfing all up… or if you will, hoovering.
In this episode I’m talking to the incredibly funny, talented and honest Scummy Mummies. We get into everything from posh seafood platters at Christmas to pissing in carparks. And we talk about puking a weird amount. Sorry. Helen in particular is such a brilliant force for body positivity so this fits into my anti-diet-January-bonanza on that front but I figured it was time for some light relief from the deep ass old episodes of late.
