Hoovering - Episode 70: Matthew Highton

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 joined by lovely man and great, bonkers comedian Matthew Highton. We hoover with a specific focus on what eating might be like in a post-apocalyptic future - and I have to warn you, it isn’t always easy listening, this one. Some of the stuff we eat and talking about eating is frankly fu**ing disgusting. Haha. But yeah, still great, obviously.
