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. 374 - Ann Bryson

    Ann Bryson is a very old friend of Mike's and was half of the comedy duo the Flaming Hamsters with a past guest of ours, Sara Crowe, and together they were the Philadelphia cheese advert girls for many years. She was also on television and on film in One Foot In The Grave, KYTV, City Lights, Only Fools and Horses, Inspector Morse, Hale and Pace, Doctor Who, The Steal, All About Me, Days Like These, Sometime Never, Space Vets and The Best of Rory Bremner. This episode was recorded over 4 years ago as a pilot which we didn’t think would ever go out. We recently listened to it again and enjoyed so asked our Acast+ listeners if we should put it out. They all voted to say we should so here it is! .

Monty Moo ,

One of the best podcasts available

A fascinating, sometimes moving and usually funny discussion with guests. Mike’s personality welcomes everyone on an equal footing and he has a natural empathy that draws out his guests’ stories. Well worth listening right to the very end for his sign-offs, the David Baddiel one is masterfully timed.

Bridget the Kiwi ,

Thoroughly enjoyable

I first heard about this podcast on RHLSTP where I fell in love with Mike’s voice. Every time the music starts (well done Pass the Peas) a smile comes to my face because I know I’m about to spend an hour or so listening to kind and interesting people having a good chat. Mike is a wonderful interviewer who really listens to his guests and brings out the best in everyone. Even when it’s a guest I know nothing about, I still enjoy myself. Highly recommend to all. And make sure you listen to the very end, that’s my favourite part.
