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.

This is my first Hoovering recorded remotely, just last week at the very start of us all being at this point advised to stay at home because of Covid-19. As we speak the shops are carnage and the shelves are empty. So I’m bringing you the absolutely relentless joy machine that is brilliant comedian and actor Alison Spittle. She in her home, me in mine, both having a bowl of Heinz tinned tomato soup.

0:14.7	Welcome to Hoovering, the podcast about eating. I'm Jessica Bostigue. I love eating as much as
0:25.3	anything else in the world, but also it sometimes brings me conflict, shame and all sorts of other
0:31.6	things that are rubbish. It's complicated and I think fascinating. This is a conversation with an interesting soul, not just about food, but about gobbling it up, or if you will, hoovering.
0:47.6	Hello, wonderful ones.
0:49.4	So, this is my first hoovering recorded remotely, and it's with the absolute joy bomb comedian and mastermind

1:02.5	you for listening um these are weird and unique times um so thank you loads and loads at the moment because apart from writing,
1:14.7	this is the only part of my job that hasn't been put on indefinite hold. So I'm especially grateful

1:25.8	podcast and make it as relevant and current as I possibly can at least. I've said it before and I'll say it again. There will

1:38.6	I am going to try and talk to some people in the know about eating during these mad and entirely
1:42.2	new, fast-changing times.
1:49.9	The live shows are currently all off for now, but I'm in a couple of series that are on TV.
1:52.5	I'm in a thing called The Trouble with Maggie Cole with Dawn French.
1:54.5	That's on ITV hub.
1:56.8	I'm in episodes two and four of that.
2:03.6	And I also pop up very briefly at the beginning of episode three in a really good series on IPlayer as well called Trigonometry. As usual at the moment, it's not usual is it? Nothing's usual at the moment.
2:09.6	But I wanted to say thank you for listening and telling other people about the podcast.
2:14.6	That really is the main thing. Still, if you've got time, rate review and subscribe,
