Hoovering - Episode 78: Live at the Marlowe Festival in Canterbury

Season 1, Ep. 78

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’s episode was recorded live at the lovely Marlowe Theatre in Canterbury as part of the Marlowe festival. My brilliant guests were the hilarious Jenny Eclair, Corrie’s Naomi Cooper-Davis and genius comedy writer Gaby Hutchinson-Crouch. From tomato ulcers to yoga poses, this one was very very fun.
