Hoovering with Jessica Fostekew
Hoovering - Episode 126: Athena Kugblenu
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 brilliant comedian and all round clever sausage Athena Kugblenu. We get deep into everything from sugar addiction to Anthony Joshua’s ‘upsides’ and be warned this episode will almost certainly make you want a cold beer.
Everything written below in CAPITALS is a link to the relevant webpage.
