Hoovering - Episode 183: Harriet Dyer
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.
Hoovering’s back on the road, well, I was on tour. So I met up with Glossop based comedian and doer of incredible things mental-health-related, Harriet Dyer. The first time I gigged with Harriet was about 8 or 9 years ago and I remember having to go out of the room and catch my breath from laughing so much, she’s a dreamboat and a whirlwind. We met for lunch in Sheffield at a posh chain place called The Botanist. She’s got a hanging kebab. Hehehe.
