Hoovering with Jessica Fostekew

Hoovering - Episode 105: John-Luke Roberts

Season 1, Ep. 105

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 a brilliant comedian, clown and actor John-Luke Roberts. He came over to my house quite specifically to cook me the perfect fried egg, and so he did. And what better episode to put out on Valentine’s Day than one with a guest who talks in such a beautiful love filled way about his new wusband. EGG TIME! 


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



Tickets to see Hoovering LIVE in 2019


The next live hoovering is on 13th May we’re up in Hull at the first and best ever official NORTHERN PODCAST FESTIVAL


I’m also plotting to do a live show at the beautiful MACHYNLLETH FESTIVAL and I’ll let you know as soon as tickets go on sale. 



Honourable Mentions


I implore you to see JOHN-LUKE ROBERTS live, his name there is a link to his website. He’s in the middle of a tour right now and in a week or so he’s bringing his latest show to the SOHO THEATRE. Go go go. The best place to always stay up to date with his work is to follow HIS TWITTER.
