Hoovering with Jessica Fostekew

Hoovering - Episode 110: Nicky Suttle

Season 1, Ep. 110

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.


I’ve had this Hoovering in the tank for a while now and I’e saved it up because we’re on the cusp of Mother’s Day. It’s my lovely Mum! Nicky Suttle. She’s a child protection trainer and former nurse and Head of Care in various schools and as putrid as it sounds and frankly is, one of my best friends and favourite people. I hope you like it.

Tickets to see Hoovering LIVE in 2019


The next live hoovering is on

Then on 13th May we’re up in Hull at the first and best ever official NORTHERN PODCAST FESTIVAL



Honourable Mentions


My Mum obviously isn’t interested in anyone following her on social media or anything but she wanted to raise awareness and funds for our wonderful friend Kate Bidwell whose doing a FUNDRAISER for the amazing charity HOPE FND - do tuck in if you’ve got any spare pennies please! 


I would very much love to have you come and see my stand up show HENCH, which now up and off on TOUR all around the UK, IRELAND and MELBOURNE. Come! All my tickets are on sale now and they’re selling out like wildfire.


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. 


We ate a really fit fit fit soup which will be in my guest recipes in April if you’re one of my Patrons but for general reference, Mum got it out of a now ancient and probably stolen copy of the SAINSBURYS MAGAZINE.


And this little beauty is the HAMLYN ALL COLOUR COOKBOOK by Mary Berry and others. 


I’m including this because I like to think there’s maybe someone in the universe who has access to podcasts but also hasn’t heard of
