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 episode was recorded in the early summer of this year with the most brilliant actor and exceptionally funny and wonderful human woman, Margaret Cabourn-Smith. I’ve wanted her on the podcast forever because, as you’ll hear, she’s a dream. We were in a play together called Brexit when we recorded this and of course we get into juicy stuff mainly she just makes me laugh and laugh and laugh.

Tickets to see Hoovering LIVE in 2019
Hoovering is on A WHOLE BLOODY TOUR from the Autumn. First dates are released here if you click where it says ‘whole bloody tour’ and dates are being added all time. This is big shit. I really want you to come and bring everyone you’ve ever heard of. The guests are going to be off the flipping charts and actually they’re being announced any day now.
Honourable Mentions
Follow MARGRET immediately on Twitter and if you don’t already listen to the comedy panel show podcast that she’s the wing woman on you’re missing out it’s called DO THE RIGHT THING and you should follow and subscribe immediately.
So I’m fresh back from a dream fringe with my stand up show HENCH, where is was all sold out including three big extra shows and it only got nominated for the fucking Edinburgh Award (Perrier for anyone outside of comedy). It’s going on tour from Feb but until then that’s announced, there are a bunch of dates at the SOHO THEATRE in London which I’d love to have you at. Click on anything in this paragraph in capitals for tickets.
Outside of that I’ll be doing new material gigs and I’m always sticking new dates on MY WEBSITE so have a check. The Hoovering Live dates go on there too.
Our hit and miss food all came from Isington’s BENITA BAKERY, but to be clear, most of it was a hit.
We mentioned the superstar comedian and former guest ROMESH RANGANATHAN
We talked and mimed of the mighty LINDOR CHOCOLATE BALLS
Margaret talked of her ancestry having a part in Richmond’s first ever tapas bar DON FERNANDO
I mentioned the grotty city chain that is ALL BAR ONE and then we went on to name drop the less salubrious drive or walk through coffee joints WILD BEAN CAFE, PUMPKINS and PUCCINOS
Margaret is an officionado of the wonderful books of MARGARET...

| 0:14.7 | Welcome to Hoovering, the podcast about eating. I'm Jessica Bostigue. I love eating as much as anything |
| 0:25.6 | else in the world, but also it sometimes brings me conflict, shame and all sorts of other things that are rubbish. |
| 0:33.5 | 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, Hoover. |
| 0:48.2 | Hello, wonderful. We're seeing August out with an episode that was an absolute complete and utter joy to record with brilliant actor and disarmingly funny captain on the best panel show that exists anywhere. In my opinion, genuinely the funniest panel show anywhere. Do the right thing is a podcast. It's Margaret Kaybourne-Smith. So thank you so much for listening to the podcast before we get |
| 1:12.4 | into it. I just want to say thanks for taking the time out of your stupidly busy life to listen to |
| 1:18.4 | this. But can I just say I think you're spending your life very well. If you like this podcast, |
| 1:24.1 | why don't you tell other people about it? If you are telling other people about it already, |
| 1:28.4 | thank you. Thanks. I realised as I was editing this particular episode, because I try and make every |
| 1:34.6 | episode under an hour, or, you know, around an hour tops. And Margaret and I spoke for a bit longer, |
| 1:40.7 | actually, that I was cutting out some stuff that is really really really really |
| 1:46.8 | really good and what I do with that really good stuff that I have to cut out is I make outtakes |
| 1:54.5 | every month and therefore people who support me on Patreon so you, if you have any spare money at all, |
| 2:02.1 | I think it's like five bucks a month to get the outtakes, but there's lower tiers than that even. |
| 2:07.1 | And then the higher, the tears go, the more stuff you get. |
| 2:10.5 | Then why don't you have a look at patreon.com forward slash the hoovering pod. |
| 2:14.4 | And you can look at all the sorts of stuff like extra content that you will get |
| 2:18.8 | exclusively if you can help me by supporting the podcast with actual cash if you haven't got any cash |
| 2:24.7 | don't worry about it mate just tell other people about the podcast i'm just as grateful for that |
| 2:28.7 | hoovering has some live dates from october why not go to live nation.co.uk. And search for hoovering. I'd love |
| 2:35.5 | to see you at those. And I'm home now from the Edinburgh Fringe and my show Hensch went quite well up there. |
| 2:41.2 | I got nominated for the big prize. It's nice, isn't it? And I'm going on tour from February with that and I'll go everywhere. I might even go to other countries by the looks of it, but that's all to be |
