Hoovering with Jessica Fostekew

Hoovering - Episode 123: Rose Johnson

Season 1, Ep. 123

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 my dear mate, the funny af Rose Johnson. Stand up, actor and wildly brilliant writer you potentially know her from being out of the Birthday Girls. Anyway - it’s my first hoovering back out in the world and face to face! She’s come round my garden. And she’s only baked, beautifully and perfectly I might add - TWO WHOLE LOAVES OF BREAD. 


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



Honourable Mentions


Follow ROSE ON TWITTER right now, she’s funny AF. She’s art of the sketch group BIRTHDAY GIRLS who if you click the name in caps there, you’ll be directed to their podcast back catalogue and now is the time to smash your way through the joy that is that because they’re releasing a new season soonish. 


I’m sometimes doing liquid hoovering LIVES over on INSTAGRAM 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.


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 were drinking fit non-alcoholic beer courtesy of BIG DROP BREWING COMPANY and Rose based her mind-blowing bread bakes on recipes from the amazing BRICKHOUSE BAKERY in Peckham. 


This is BAKE-OFF PROFESSIONALS


HERE IS THE RECIPE for her stubbing Georgian aubergine rolls. 


We also mention the sexy beers of BEER 52 and also BITTBERGER DRIVE
