Hoovering with Jessica Fostekew

Hoovering - Episode 148: Katy Brand

Season 1, Ep. 148

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’m hoovering with absolute wondersmash superstar comedian and author, Katy Brand. We met, over the zooms (during lockdown #2) for a breakfast of her choice, which turned out to be the breakfast I have most days actually - hard boiled egg and toast. Yummyyyyy. We pimped them to our own specifications, as you’ll hear. God she’s a clever and funny one - this episode is a treat for us all, chaps. 


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



Honourable Mentions/ Links


Surely you are, but if you aren’t then get all over KATY BRAND on the Twitter and get your eyes and hearts and brainses all over her new book (maybe for someone for Christmas, it’s all about a Mary Poppins obsession) PRACTICALLY PERFECT


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.

I got my big beautiful curly cucumber from ODDBOX and if you want one? And you want a massive £10 off your first box so it makes it just a few quid? Then USE THIS LINK MATE


MY TOUR IS RESCHEDULED - COME


I mentioned an ode to beige food that the always-brilliant Grace Dent wrote for the Guardian a few years ago, and HERE IT IS


I talked of a book called Sophie’s Choice but I meant this book called SOPHIE’S WORLD


Katy talked about guesting on the awesome Radio 4 show THE INFINITE MONKEY CAGE
