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 talking to an absolutely brilliant author, Rose Ruane in her badass, beautiful home in Glasgow. Just yesterday her new novel ‘This is Yesterday’ came out and you’ll hear from how utterly MIND-BLOWINGLY masterous she is with words here, how amazing her book is. I’ve just finished it and it jangled my insides around completely. She is truly something else. My personal favourite episode in a while. Enjoy, and please do get her amazing book.
Everything written below in CAPITALS is a link to the relevant webpage.
Tickets to see Hoovering LIVE in 2019
Our next live show is up in Thirsk on Sat 23rd November as part of the amazing PODCAST SOCIAL CLUB run by the legends behind Deer Shed Festival. My guests include comedian Kate Fox and one more being announced super soon.
Honourable Mentions
Rose isn’t on social media but I implore you to please please please get this book. She and it are so off the charts brilliant. ORDER THE BOOK HERE ON AMAZON but you can get it in any of the usual places, obvs.
I have a stand up show called HENCH all, roughly about strength and gender and a little bit about diet-life too you know. It got nominated for best show in Edinburgh and it won some other shit and got sexy reviews across the board. It’s on tour and I would love love love to have you come to it.
In January it’s at the SOHO THEATRE from 6th - 25th. Not Sundays but all the other nights. It’s sold out in October and January is nearly sold out most weekend nights now so get in quick yes please yes please.
Then from February to June it’s ON TOUR all around the world with new dates and locations being added ALL THE LOVELY TIME. - just added ticket links for Poole in Dorset, the Machynleth Festival in Wales, Liverpool and Birmingham.
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.
The food we wolfed in this episode was from TAPA and MESA, both brilliant places to eat if you’re passing through Dennistoun, Glasgow.
These are the ELENA FERRANTE books we talk briefly about, they’re really exquisite.

| 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, poof me. |
| 0:47.6 | Hey, Wonderfaces. I'm going to be nips out here and admit that this is my personal favourite episode for a while actually. It was |
| 0:55.9 | impossible to edit because our conversation just rolled on and on and on like a river with no |
| 1:00.3 | caps, except for big lovely laughs. I'm talking to an extraordinary author called Rose Ruein. |
| 1:07.2 | I've literally just finished her book this week. It officially came out yesterday and oh god, |
| 1:11.5 | it's so good. It's so beautifully, beautifully written. It's nonfiction. It's a story. It's big, |
| 1:18.8 | dense sea of beauty in the writing and these characters in it and their stories just wrap |
| 1:25.9 | all around you like the most amazing sort of |
| 1:28.7 | gentle vines and then by the last few chapters i found out to heave and sob my way to the very end of |
| 1:35.5 | it even though i was on very busy train blubbed blubbed my way to the end and over the finish |
| 1:40.7 | line i'm not just saying it um because is my friend. This is a really, |
| 1:45.3 | really excellent book. |
| 1:47.1 | Give it to your brain and heart to eat up. |
| 1:51.2 | She's called Rose Rewain and the book is called This Is Yesterday. |
| 1:54.5 | So anyway, |
| 1:55.2 | this week's episode was a nightmare to edit down to length |
| 1:57.8 | because Rose's company is so fiercely excellent. |
| 2:01.2 | And so it's a bit of a bumper size one this week. |
| 2:05.2 | But there's also, there was enough left over that there will either be a whole extra |
