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 hoovering with Olivier winning playwright and screenwriter Stef Smith. We have chocolate three ways for brunch because why not. And we have them sat next to each other, indoors because Stef also has the much harder job than being an award winning playwright in the sense that she’s also my girlfriend.
