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.
I’m hoovering with absolute wondersmash superstar comedian and author, Katy Brand. We met, over the zooms (during lockdown #2) for a breakfast of her choice, which turned out to be the breakfast I have most days actually - hard boiled egg and toast. Yummyyyyy. We pimped them to our own specifications, as you’ll hear. God she’s a clever and funny one - this episode is a treat for us all, chaps.

Surely you are, but if you aren’t then get all over KATY BRAND on the Twitter and get your eyes and hearts and brainses all over her new book (maybe for someone for Christmas, it’s all about a Mary Poppins obsession) PRACTICALLY PERFECT.
I’m on this great site called PATREON where I swap your money for ace podcast related stuff like totally exclusive content and guest recipes. It’ll help me keep the podcast not just alive, but also thriving. Thanks so so so much if you’ve become a patron recently and/ or stuck with me since the beginning of this.
