Description
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.

another brilliant episode.
yet another brilliant episode of one of the best ever Podcasts ever. that's ever. as in ever.
Love the podcasts, Mike, from here in Australia. A suggestion for next year, perhaps Suzie Dent would be an interesting guest. Merry Christmas to you all. Cheers Gary
This was a feel-good episode, full of warm-hearted kindness. A nice way to spend some time.

I love this podcast, it has warmth and charm and is always entertaining.
What a thoroughly nice man Chesney Hawkes is. Listening to this makes me ashamed to have previously considered him to be a figure of fun.
Damn, the stories Danny JJ has... He could do a dull podcast of his own on those memories and meetings with his heroes/inspirations, etc.
A truly wonderful insight to living in Central London. Ben includes in his Time Capsule some real gems which I'll be attempting seek out the next time I'm up there. Of course Mike Fenton Stevens is as brilliant as ever.
I am sure that we all have that hidden croc of gold, that thing we absolutely treasure and don't want to share. I am fortunate, if you can call it that, to have several. One of the things I hoard is a podcast that bundles fascinating and friendly in the one package. Firing up an episode of My Time Capsule is like sitting down in front of a warming fire with your favourite drink, while a wild storm does its best to dismantle the world outside. Everyone talks about the assault on attention, all those things that batter the brain as we move through the digital world. I work in an Audiology and this has made me so much more aware of how much uninvited noise there is today. As the podcast starts MIchael Fenton-Stevens' voice arrives, a balm for tired ears. Michael comes across just as I suspect he is, someone who is good company whether it is over a pint at the pub, or across the kitchen table. Many of the guests are known to Michael's UK audience, which gives a UK centric audie
brilliant podcast very entertaining , discovered it a week ago and working my way through them, great 👍
I had to stop this one. I listen to them as I'm going to sleep and this Kevin guy just talked and talked too much. what is a double breasted shirt anyway.
Lol
Moving to Hastings ASAP :D
