The podcast My Time Capsule marks a major milestone with the release of its 500th episode, featuring comedian Josh Widdicombe.
Since its launch in 2020, My Time Capsule, hosted by the actor Michael Fenton Stevens, has delighted audiences by asking guests for five things which they’d like to preserve in a time capsule. Four things they treasure and would want to preserve but one they’re happy to bury and forget. The show has become known for its mix of heartwarming, hilarious, and often deeply personal interviews with some of the biggest and most interesting guests of any UK podcast.
It has been Podcast of the Week in The Guardian, The Times and the Radio Times, and has featured an impressive array of guests including Stephen Fry, David Mitchell, Shaparak Khorsandi, Paterson Joseph, Caroline Quentin, Harry Hill, Lee Mack, Arabella Weir, Rob Brydon, Linford Christie, Samira Ahmed, Jason Manford, Lou Sanders, Sanjeev Bhaskar and many more.
Josh Widdicombe, known for The Last Leg, Hypothetical, and his podcast Parenting Hell with Rob Beckett, reflects on the objects, memories, and moments he’d enshrine – or bury – for future generations.
“Reaching 500 episodes is something I never imagined when we started,” said Michael Fenton Stevens. “Having Josh join us to celebrate feels perfect. He’s funny, insightful, and a joy to talk to – everything the podcast is about.”
Michael finished playing The Wizard of Oz in Wicked in the West End this March. His recent screen credits include BBC’s Ghosts, HBO’s Avenue 5 with Hugh Laurie, Apple TV+’s Slow Horses with Gary Oldman, and Netflix’s Rogue Agent with James Norton and Gemma Arterton.
Josh Widdicombe's new tour, entitled Not My Cup Of Tea, starts in September. Details here.
