My Time Capsule

A podcast that asks guests, such as Stephen Fry, David Mitchell, Caroline Quentin, Ross Noble, Lee Mack, Arabella Weir & Rob Brydon, for five things which they’d like to put in a Time Capsule. They can choose anything from an item, to a memory, a film or even a country. Four of them are things they want to preserve but one has to be something they’re happy to bury and never have to think about again.

  • Ep. 585 - Bryony Kimmings - Writer and performer who co-wrote the film Last Christmas with Emma Thompson
    May 17 2026

    Bryony Kimmings is an award-winning writer and performer whose work spans television, film and groundbreaking live performance. Most recently, she adapted The Rapture into a five-part television drama starring Ruth Madeley. She also co-wrote, with Emma Thompson, the screenplay for the film Last Christmas, starring Emilia Clarke and Henry Golding. Widely regarded as one of the UK’s most original contemporary performers, Bryony creates multi-platform works that blend autobiography, social experimentation and performance art. Her acclaimed shows include I’m a Phoenix, Bitch, Credible Likeable Superstar Role Model and Fake It Till You Make It, all of which received widespread critical praise and multiple five-star reviews. Her latest production, Bog Witch, follows a critically acclaimed London run and is now touring venues across the UK and Ireland. Inspired by Bryony’s own life, the show explores her decision to uproot herself and her son to live in an isolated cottage in the wilderness in an attempt to reconnect with nature and rediscover happiness and sanity.


    Bryony Kimmings is our guest in episode 585 of My Time Capsule and chats to Michael Fenton Stevens about the five things she'd like to put in a time capsule; four she’d like to preserve and one she’d like to bury and never have to think about again .

one of the best podcasts I've ever heard. Been listening to several in a row, found even people I thought I wouldn't be interested in utterly fascinating.

Fantastic

The time capsule concept is simple yet very effective.
Four positive things from a person's life and one thing they never want to see again are chosen to be placed in the time capsule.
The host is superbly good at his job and the unscripted format with no boundaries leads to some wonderfully insightful objects being chosen.
This episode is quite funny.
Well I laughed.
Like a drain..

Delightfully funny

Mike is a perfect host who brings out the best by truly engaging with his guests and with listeners. I've been genuinely surprised by certain guests that I wouldn't have guessed were so interesting or entertaining.
The podcast has been a real bright spot over the past two years and hope it continues for years to come. Highlights if you want to dip in - Barry Cryer, Anna Chancellor, Stephen K Amos, Josie Lawrence.

Charming and pleasantly surprising
