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 incredible stand up, musician and actor and food knower abouter, Nick Helm. He’d never had a Taco Bell and I’d not had one since I was a kid on holiday in America visiting my Uncle Bob (pronounced Uncle Baaaab) - so we got one from a central London takeaway hole and took it to beautiful sunny Russell Square to scoff it up amongst the lounging students and passing motorbikes.

We ate, if you’ve not heard of it, at TACO BELL
