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 my lovely friend, actor, professional dweeb games lord type nerd and most importantly former super chef - Paul Flannery. Amazingly, Paul knocked me up an entire (mainly vegan) taster menu so this episode has two parts, this week the first few courses and next week a whole three more - what a FEAST! It. Was. Brilliant. As you’ll hear.

Honourable Mentions
You have to follow brilliant Brona she’s here on TWITTER and here on INSTAGRAM and that’s where you’ll learn all the great TV shows she’s writing on and acting in.
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.
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.

| 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 | Hello, this week in amazing news, I've had a full taster menu, a feast made for me by a brilliant former chef. |
| 0:56.5 | My old friend, an actor, a king of the dwebes, an RPG person. |
| 1:02.5 | If you know what that means, then you're also a dweep. |
| 1:05.0 | It's a Mr. Paul Flannery. |
| 1:06.7 | Years ago, I was in Paul's show, Nightmare Live, based on on the 90s kids TV show, and it was so fun. |
| 1:12.8 | I played Crohn's and not Crohn's the Disease, a Crone, various Crohn's and all sorts of other |
| 1:20.8 | imps and annoying characters. And it was so fun. Anyway, I remember when we were on tour with that, |
| 1:25.7 | that his cooking was so extraordinary and |
| 1:27.9 | joyful. He is must full of food. And if anything, he's even more exciting now on the |
| 1:33.6 | cooking front. So first of all, though, before we get into it, thank you so much for hearing me. |
| 1:39.5 | Tell all your loved ones. Heck, just tell all your known ones. Fuck it. Tell everyone about the podcast. |
| 1:45.0 | We're not cliquy here. We do live shows. The next ones coming up for Hoovering Lives are at the |
| 1:50.2 | podcast Social Club in Thursk on the 23rd of November in the afternoon. And then we're at the |
| 1:56.0 | Leicester Festival on the 9th of February in the afternoon. I'm also doing a work in progress |
| 2:00.3 | stand-up show and a tour show, |
| 2:02.6 | all on the same day. So if you want to come to everything and get absolutely sick of me, |
| 2:06.7 | you'd be welcome. Just Google the Leicester Comedy Festival and my name and do your worst. |
| 2:11.6 | Tickets to all of these things are, as ever on my website, jessicafostercue.com, along with tickets to all of my stand-up as well i'm on |
