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 talking to hobby historian and all round fascinating wonder Nikki Druce, host and creator of the Macabre London podcast. We talk everything foodie and historical from wild druggy cure-alls to mouse-rubbing. Highlights include the time she was driven to stealing from a hippo.

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