A podcast that asks guests, such as Stephen Fry, Mark Gatiss, Rebecca Front, David Baddiel, Anthony Head & Richard Herring, 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 lock away and never have to think about again. Hosted by Michael Fenton Stevens. @fentonstevens @MyTCpod
