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’s guest is a brilliant comedian whose time I stole while she’s here from New York you’ve probs seen her on Conan, it’s Carmen Lynch. We talk about everything from a detailed bleak projection or ten about the future of eating through to finding our head hair in our bumcracks. 


Everything written below in CAPITALS is a link to the relevant webpage.
