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 had this Hoovering in the tank for a while now and I’e saved it up because we’re on the cusp of Mother’s Day. It’s my lovely Mum! Nicky Suttle. She’s a child protection trainer and former nurse and Head of Care in various schools and as putrid as it sounds and frankly is, one of my best friends and favourite people. I hope you like it.

In this episode I’m talking to the incredibly funny, talented and honest Scummy Mummies. We get into everything from posh seafood platters at Christmas to pissing in carparks. And we talk about puking a weird amount. Sorry. Helen in particular is such a brilliant force for body positivity so this fits into my anti-diet-January-bonanza on that front but I figured it was time for some light relief from the deep ass old episodes of late.
