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.
In this episode I’m joined by the utterly charming comedian, singer and impressionist Jess Robinson, for brunch in my flat up at the Edinburgh fringe, where we’re both performing.
Everything written below in CAPITALS is a link to the relevant webpage.

The show Jess was on her way to doing was called MERVIN STUTTER and is a bit of a crusty old institution.
The swanky restaurant they were eating at later was THE WITCHERY. Slightly further down the swank-scale we also gave a nod to the ever comforting MUMS.
