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 I’m joined by seriously cool presenter and activist, Konnie Huq. We discuss everything from theories of ‘just enough’ to opening the cleaning cupboard and taking a deep breathe in just for the ZING. I know. Also, lets be honest, she basically interviews me. And somehow manages to keep her clothes on.
Everything written below in CAPITALS is a link to the relevant webpage.

She rightly toots about MOTHERS RISE UP
HERE is the Attenborough documentary about climate change I keep wanging on about
If you’d never heard of GBK it’s that. And this is the sort of CRUMPET we’re on about spreading miso on.
And this is TRIPOLINI pasta that Konnie was keen for me to take home, raw, as a gift.
Just incase you’ve never heard of MARMITE
I couldn’t risk you not knowing what TANGFASTICS and M&S SHERBERTS were.
As ever I give South East London’s best pizza chain MAMMA DOUGH a shout
The origin story Konnie looked up was for GREGGS
