A podcast that asks guests, such as Stephen Fry, David Mitchell, Caroline Quentin, Ross Noble, Lee Mack, Arabella Weir & Rob Brydon, for five things which they’d like to put in a Time Capsule. They can choose anything from an item, to a memory, a film or even a country. Four of them are things they want to preserve but one has to be something they’re happy to bury and never have to think about again.

    Ep. 380 - Stephen Fry (Re-edit)

    Ep. 380 - Stephen Fry (Re-edit)

    It's the 4 year anniversary of our first episode! So to celebrate we thought we'd go right back to where it all started and re-edit Stephen Fry! In the early days we were a bit less confident than we are now and therefore our editing was a bit more ruthless than it is now, so we thought we'd re-edit Stephen's episode with a more relaxed ear. This has resulted in a much more relaxed conversation and plenty of unheard stories, jokes and a few more umms and errs. We hope you enjoy it!
    Stephen Fry is guest number 380 on My Time Capsule and chats to Michael Fenton Stevens about the five things he'd like to put in a time capsule; four he’d like to preserve and one he’d like to bury and never have to think about again .

Unmissable

Simply a marvellous show. Like a never-ending selection box with Mike’s lovely “My Kipling” voice too. Thank you so much.

Comedians

The idea of a time capsule is such a great idea but the long list of comedians is getting tiresome. More often than not their stories are similar. Please add a variety of guests to keep this podcast fresh.

Chailey Chatter ,

Jacqui Oatley

Another great episode. One of Mike’s skills is that he really listens to the people he is interviewing. He seems genuinely interested in people. Oh and the episodes are often hilarious.
