“What are you doing here?!” - Leandra Medine
The second episode of the podcast series HOSTEing Laura Jackson sees Laura crossing the pond and taking a trip to downtown New York where she is hosted by author, journalist, mother wife and native New Yorker - Leandra Medine - most commonly known as fan favourite who ignited the empire that is Man Repeller. Leandra invites Laura into Man Repeller HQ where the pair discuss travel destinations, Irish goodbyes and French Exits, the ever evolving New York restaurant scene, Leandra's firm and favourable fashion taste and how that has influenced her interiors. Leandra also talks about her desire and struggle to become a mother, New York parties and her mother's Shabbat dinners - where it all began!

From the days of 20 denier tights and serving the royals and Sting with Admirable Chrighton, to pregnancy announcements and elaborately planned weekend escapes Laura and this weeks guest (and very good friend) Daisy Hoppen discuss the full spectrum of what it is to Hoste. With wine in one hand and Mescal in the other we learn of Daisy's company DHPR - which represents brands such as Molly Goddard, Vampires Wife, Aesop, Shrimps and most famously Ganni whose house parties are legendary - the family dinner table dynamics in the Hoppen household and Daisy's dining hitlist.
