Hoovering with Jessica Fostekew

Hoovering - Episode 163: Siobhan McSweeney

Season 1, Ep. 163

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 got an absolutely beautiful guest this week, the brilliantly funny, wise owl that is Siobhan McSweeney - host of the recent Sunday night smash hit The Great Pottery Throwdown and star of Derry Girls and The Fall, amongst several other brilliant things. Agh. She’s SO GOOD at the acting and the presenting and the existing. I fucking LOVE her and I think you’re going to too. We took at maximum of £1.50 to our nearest corner shop and saw what we’d come home with to eat. One of us (her) does much better out of it than the other (me).
