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.

IT’S FEBRUARYYYYYY! As my 5 year old would, really randomly and always inappropriately say ‘booyah’. The spring will sprung soon, or whatever the phrase is - and my first guest of this exciting new dawn of a month is a truly amazing actor who I was lucky enough to make friends with on a job nearly two years ago now - the magnificent Julie Hesmondhalgh - yessss please. We’re wolfing a fancy fresh tomato, miso and tahini soup over the zooms whilst putting the world to rights on all sorts of things, as ever, including eating.

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

Her fundraising group 500 ACTS OF KINDNESS is amazing, join in if you can, please.

Her husband Kersh, is writer IAN KERSHAW whose penmanship is behind the play she mentioned, THE GREATEST PLAY IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD - which I’ve seen and is extraordinary and is touring the north of the UK when lockdown lifts so get to it if you’re that way based.

As if that’s not enough she’s also starring in a brand new BBC drama THE PACT which sounds properly sizzling.
