| 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. |
