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 hoovering with the disarmingly talented singer songwriter Saint Saviour. Her music is some of my favourite music in the world. We were tasting a few of the most popular Christmas sandwiches available here in the UK but as you’ll hear we got thoroughly waylaid. She’s one of the most etherial, fascinating people I’ve spoken to and some of her stories blew my heart away, let alone her frank, practical recollections of her bulimia.

Everything written below in CAPITALS is a link to the relevant webpage.

Tickets to see Hoovering LIVE in 2019

I’m hoovering live at the LEICESTER COMEDY FESTIVAL on the afternoon of Sunday 9th Feburary. Come come come! Secret patron discount code coming soon.

Honourable Mentions

Please follow Becky on all social media she’s everywhere as SAINT SAVIOUR. The first single of her new album is out now and it’s called THE PLACE TO BE, featuring Badly Drawn Boy. Follow her, watch her, worship her. Her work is absolutely stunning.

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. I’ve recently added dates in Exeter and Swansea as well as an extended third Bristol date because the first two sold out.

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 Christmas sandwiches we tried were from PRET, MARKS & SPENCERS and BOOTS.

The beautiful cakes and rhubarb soda Becky got us were from the formidable WATCH HOUSE CAFE in Bermondsey.

0:49.1	Welcome to Hoovering, the podcast about eating. I'm Jessica Bostigue. I love eating as much as anything else in the world, but also it sometimes brings me conflict, shame and all sorts of other things that are rubbish. It's complicated and I think fascinating. This is a conversation with an
1:12.9	interesting soul, not just about food, but about gobbling it up, or if you will, hoovery.
1:22.5	Hey there, Smashes. This week I'm talking to Becky, an extraordinary singer-songwriter, better known
1:28.1	as Saint-Savier. She's got two solo albums out, both of which are some of my favourite
1:34.0	albums of all time. She's just got the most incredible voice, and it's like this incredible
1:38.4	mixture of power and vulnerability. Anyway, she has a third album on the way, and the first stunning single
1:45.9	that is already out from it. Came out last week. It's called The Place I Want to Be. It's a duet
1:49.8	with Badly Drawn Boy. And anyway, we are hoovering together in this episode. We had such a
1:54.7	beautiful time talking together. First up, though, please, can I invite you to a hoovering live show? Why not? Or why don't you come and see my stand-up show, Hensh on tour, either at the Soho Theatre in January or anywhere all around the UK, Ireland, and another place very far away that I still can't say for the whole of the first half of next year. Thank you. Please come to those things. The next live hoovering is in
2:19.5	Lester on the 9th of February 2 o'clock in the afternoon. I'll be talking to some really,
2:23.7	really interesting and funny, locally based people who I'll be confirming soon. Also, if you're a
2:29.4	patron, I'll be getting you your discount code for that very soon, still working on it with the venue.
2:35.0	But yeah, just come.
2:36.8	It's going to be really great.
2:38.5	If you don't know what a patron is, go to patreon.com forward slash the hovering pod.
2:43.7	And basically it's a website where you've got any spare money,
