Hoovering with Jessica Fostekew
Hoovering - Episode 171: Andrea Thompson
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.
There’s no overly complicated way to put this really. In this episode I’m hoovering with the strongest woman in the world. Andrea Thompson. She’s British, she lives near Ipswich and she’s the strongest woman in the whole fucking world. So. We had chilli for lunch because it was what she was having anyway and we got together, for distance reasons, over the zooms.
