Hoovering with Jessica Fostekew

Hoovering - Episode 212: Live at the Leicester Comedy Festival

Season 1, Ep. 212

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’s episode was recorded live in front of a really lovely audience at the Leicester Comedy Festival. I had a pizza party above the delicious and beautiful Peter Pizzaria with superstar comedian Jen Brister and Bake Off star finalist and local Leicester hero the seriously lovely Chigs Parmar. God we had a giggle.
