BBC Sounds Music Radio Podcasts hello.
Now, this is a rather special episode.
It is a big day for us on AmericasT because the time has finally come to open our famous AmericasT time capsule.
If you've been listening to us for the last year or so, you may remember that we introduced this concept way back in November 2023 with these immortal words from Justin.
There is a time capsule element to today and the rather good idea that we've had.
We have gimmicks, don't we, on Americar, some of which frankly don't last beyond one go, but some of them do.
And the whole business of putting something away and looking at it in a year's time, I think is a really good.
It's actually a good thing for journalists to do anyway because we often say things are incredibly silly and we're able to sweep them under the carpet.
But anyway, we're all going to put something in the box, as it were, the time capsule.
And then in a year's time, if we're all still around.
Well, conveniently for Justin, we are all still around, even though that feels quite a long time ago.
And spoiler that Justin wasn't actually playing the harp during that very poetic introduction.
But we have kept talking about the time capsule quite a lot.
And so, as Justin said, we want to see whether the incredibly silly or not so incredibly silly things that we said actually did end up coming true or not.
And what it tells us about the year that has just been.
