It's the 4 year anniversary of our first episode! So to celebrate we thought we'd go right back to where it all started and re-edit Stephen Fry! In the early days we were a bit less confident than we are now and therefore our editing was a bit more ruthless than it is now, so we thought we'd re-edit Stephen's episode with a more relaxed ear. This has resulted in a much more relaxed conversation and plenty of unheard stories, jokes and a few more umms and errs. We hope you enjoy it!Stephen Fry is guest number 380 on My Time Capsule and chats to Michael Fenton Stevens about the five things he'd like to put in a time capsule; four he’d like to preserve and one he’d like to bury and never have to think about again .Follow My Time Capsule on Twitter, Instagram & Facebook: @MyTCpod .Follow Michael Fenton Stevens on Twitter: @fentonstevens & Instagram @mikefentonstevens .Produced and edited by John Fenton-Stevens for Cast Off Productions .Music by Pass The Peas Music .Artwork by matthewboxall.com .This podcast is proud to be associated with the charity Viva!
