| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to my time capsule. I'm Mike Fenton-Stevens, and my time capsule is the podcast where people tell me five things from their life they wish they had in a time capsule. They pick four |
| 0:21.6 | things that they cherish and one thing they'd like to bury and forget. And my guest in this |
| 0:26.6 | episode is Amy Annette. Amy is a bright new addition to the stand-up scene. She's a funny |
| 0:33.2 | women award winner. Her 2025 Edinburgh show, Busybody, was one of the best reviewed shows on |
| 0:39.0 | the Edinburgh Fringe, and for that show, she was nominated for Best Show at the Lester Comedy Festival. |
| 0:44.7 | Her debut in 2024, thick skin, transferred to Soho Theatre, where The Guardian gave it four stars, |

| 1:43.7 | Amy's just about to appear at Soho Theatre again in London, so this episode has been |

| 1:53.3 | It's also an unusual episode as it was recorded over Zoom, with me in my office in |
| 1:58.6 | Tombridge Wales, a place that I also like to call my house, |
| 2:01.7 | and Amy in her car on a petrol station forecourt |
