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 talking to a lovely man called Ben Lebus whose the author of a badass new book called MOB Veggie. We talked about what it’s like setting up a food platform and then we covered everything from party rings to being a constantly naked child. What a lovely chat it was!
