| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to my time capsule. I'm Mike Fenton-Stevens. My Time Capsule is the podcast where people tell me five things from their life they wish they had in a time capsule, hence the title. |
| 0:22.2 | They pick four things that they love, and one thing they'd like to bury and forget. |
| 0:26.9 | My guest in this episode is the stand-up comedian Danny Ward. |
| 0:31.2 | Now, for over 17 years, award-winning comedian Danny Ward has been delighting crowds across the UK, Europe, Australia and New Zealand, |
