0:12.9

I'm Mike Fenton-Stevens, and my time capsule is the podcast where people tell me five things from their life that they wish they had in a time capsule.

Four things that they cherish and one thing they'd like to bury and forget. Now, it's Halloween.

0:27.0

Well, it is, if you're listening to this on the day that it actually goes out, and as a result,

0:31.6

I'm on holiday. And if I'm on holiday, my son is on holiday with me, and he's our producer.
