Hoovering with Jessica Fostekew
Hoovering - Episode 121: Hana Ayoob
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 podcaster and professional talker about science, comedian and co-founder of @MinoritySTEM Hana Ayoob. I’m eating some brownies very kindly gifted to me through the post from the lovely Simply Cake Company and she’s wolfing a brownie and a cookie that she made as part of her Aid celebrations.

Honourable Mentions
Follow the wonderful HANA AYOOB on social meeds and get all over the amazing @MinoritySTEM which she co-founded and the podcast she co-presents WHY AREN’T YOU A DOCTOR YET?
My brownies were from the absolutely bloody delicious SIMPLY CAKE COMPANY who were very very kind to send me their latest range. They’ve all been smashed now and they were all lush.
I’m doing liquid hoovering LIVES over on INSTAGRAM sometimes with former hoovering guests. Make sure you’re following the INSTAGRAM and TWITTER for @thehooveringpod to be sure not to miss one. They stay in my Insta stories for 24 hours after they’re up as well.
I was recently on NEWS QUIZ on radio 4 which is on BBC Sounds right now and I’m in this next series of QI - wahoo! Recorded before lockdown, thank fuck.
If you have any spare dollar in your life the first thing I’d like you to do with it is give it to either a food bank like the TRUSSELL TRUST.
If after giving to them you’ve still got more spare dosh to give a month I’m on this great site called PATREON where I swap your money for ace podcast related stuff like totally exclusive content and guest recipes. It’ll help me keep the podcast not just alive, but also thriving. Thanks so so so much if you’ve become a patron recently and/ or stuck with me since the beginning of this.
We mentioned dreamboy MICHAEL CHAKRAVERTY
And lets not forget the following chocolate we virtually sang about: Cadburys DARKMILK, the obsolete
