OMD4 Ep5 Jess Fostekew Wants a Dog (But Has Cats!)

Comedian and writer Jess Fostekew joins Jack, Seann and Sara for a hilarious chat about life with her step-cats, her childhood dog Poppy, and her not-so-secret longing to be a dog mum. From farty greyhounds to dog-sitting Rita and Pudding, Jess brings her trademark humour and a fair bit of pet mayhem. We also hear from Animal Aid on the campaign to ban greyhound racing, plus your listener emails, Jack tells us Dolly’s inoculations are due, and Seann needs help with Mildred’s late night wees.
