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 week my guest is my friend, the really excellent comedian Jen Brister. We met at hers in Brighton for the biggest, lushest and most-including-of-brave-foods vegan mega brunch I’ve ever laid my mouth on. We get very serious about kettle chips and a little bit nostalgic about holidays, alone.
Everything written below in CAPITALS is a link to the relevant webpage.

| 0:14.6 | 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. |
| 0:47.4 | Hello there, welcome. Thanks for listening to Hoovering. This is a lush episode, if I don't say so myself. I'm having a seriously |

| 1:11.7 | into it, that is, or if you're someone who helps me out over at patreon.com.ukuk, forward slash |

| 1:30.3 | like discount live shows or extra content and other exciting stuff coming soon. I'm revising |

| 1:40.3 | If you're maybe up for becoming someone who does any of those things, sharing the good |
| 1:44.9 | news about the hoovering podcast existing, or swapping money for prizes, I would be very happy. |
| 1:51.6 | A patron is the one place where I can give proper thanks with really cool, like, recipes from guests |
| 1:56.8 | and early access to things and exclusive stuff. So get on over there, please. |
| 2:01.8 | Anyway, blah, blah, blah. |
