| 0:00.0 | Hello again and welcome to my time capsule. I'm Mike Fenton-Stevens. At my time capsule is a podcast where people tell me five things from their life that they wish they had in a time capsule. |
| 0:21.3 | They pick four things that they cherish and one thing they'd like to bury and forget. |
| 0:26.3 | My guest in this episode is Toby Tarant. |
| 0:29.8 | Toby is an English radio broadcaster on Radio X. |
| 0:33.4 | He started his national radio broadcasting career on Capital FM, |
| 0:38.9 | presenting the early breakfast show, |
| 0:45.0 | and then moved to the same time slot on Radio X, 4 a.m. in the morning to 6.30 a.m., which is not fun if you don't like getting up. He also began covering the Chris Moyles show when |
| 0:50.0 | Chris Moyles was on leave, and due to his popularity, Toby moved to the mid-morning |
| 0:54.6 | slot on Radio X in April 2018, from 10am to 1pm, much better if you like staying in bed |
| 1:00.1 | like I do, and has presented the show ever since. He ran the London Marathon for the radio |
| 1:05.5 | station's charity Global Make Some Noise in 2018, achieving a time of four hours, 20 minutes and 27 seconds, |
| 1:14.1 | and he raised over £31,000 for his efforts. Now, one of the main reasons for the high total |
| 1:20.8 | was due to his agreement with Chris Moyles that he would cycle around Lester Square naked |
| 1:25.8 | if he raised over £30,000, which he did. |
| 1:30.5 | And amazingly, he's taken on another challenge for the charity, which we'll hear about in a second, |
| 1:35.5 | peddling a unicorn-shaped peddlow from Henley to Putney down the River Thames. |
| 1:40.6 | Chris is a lovely chap, as you'll discover. |
| 1:42.7 | No surprise, of course, as he is the son of Tizwas |
| 1:46.2 | and Who Wants to be a Millionaire presenter, Chris Tarrant. |
| 1:50.0 | I will say in advance that if you find the end of this episode a bit much, |
| 1:54.0 | don't blame me or Toby. |
| 1:56.1 | Blame Rick Mell. |
