| The Important Broadcast Module 346: It's Not A Place... It's Time | 22 Sep 2024 | 01:16:07 | |
The Great Leader requires you to abandon all other activities. Do not drive, do not eat and most certainly do not sleep. Give yourself to him. This week, Steve has much mystery to untangle. Plus, a spider, boxing and parking. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk This week’s podcast is dedicated to Katie & Robyn. Thank you. | |||
| The Important Broadcast Module 345: I Do Not Agree With 'Entertaining' | 15 Sep 2024 | 01:22:14 | |
The Great Leader, still stricken by a harsh malady, summons his brutal strength and delivers another hammer blow of a broadcast. Mighty. Find out why today is a Barry-heavy day and what Steve and Michelle have disagreed on this week. PLUS, a fantastic guest judge in the Dinner Winner arena... Rosie MacKean!

| The Important Broadcast Module 336: I'm Going To Five! | 14 Jul 2024 | 01:13:18 | |
With a lot to reflect and share his precious thoughts on, The Great Leader had much upon his shoulders this week. Nonetheless, he overdelivered in spades, as is his right. Prepare yourself for fascinating insights into parenting, the supernatural, nutrition and football.

| The Important Broadcast Module 248: Lee Evans' House At Halloween | 30 Oct 2022 | 00:53:01 | |
We all remember that don't we? Popping round on the trick or treat circuit and giving Lee Evans' house a knock...? Maybe not. Plus, unbelievable phone-based rudeness in The Great Leader's life and that pesky snake from the bible.

| The Important Broadcast Module 247: Heathens Stephens | 23 Oct 2022 | 00:59:38 | |
This week, producer of the show - Sloppy Joe Attewell - was off with ‘bowel issues’ and so Mr Harold once again stepped up to the plate in his absence. Fear not, Dinner Winner was still played (albeit in a friendly), we still told you some things that you don’t know, and we still prepared you with some small talk for that moment when you get asked ‘What is going on eh??’.

| The Important Broadcast Module 246: Infected By The Witch of A Dead Ghost | 16 Oct 2022 | 01:23:33 | |
246 full, enriching episodes of The Important Broadcast, eh? Imagine what you've learned! Imagine the person that you might have been, had you not chosen this path. Anyway... This week, you must prepare yourself for talk of possessed dogs, slain pigeons and whether or not everything (or nothing) is on 'the table'.

| The Important Broadcast Module 245: Patrouille Suisse | 09 Oct 2022 | 01:17:23 | |
Steve returned from his US excursion with tales of many things. The Great Leader himself carried a heavy cold, but this did not impede his brilliance. There were also mentions of the Swiss Airforce aerobatics team, piglets and Barack Obama.

| The Important Broadcast Module 244: Worm Tongue | 02 Oct 2022 | 01:09:31 | |
With Steve attending a Stateside wedding, to which he wasn't invited, it was up to The Great Leader to pull an even greater weight than the enormous one he usually bears. Nonetheless, there was still plenty of room for talk of wombats, numbats, moles, beavers, yoghurt, limes and Anglo-Saxon huts.

| The Important Broadcast Module 243: I Always Wanted To Go To Harvard | 25 Sep 2022 | 01:21:50 | |

| The Important Broadcast Module 241: A More Serious Broadcast | 11 Sep 2022 | 00:52:21 | |
The clue’s in the name this week, for obvious reasons. Danny and Steve eased the listeners back towards normality with a slightly stripped back but still very light hearted module of The Important Broadcast. As a reward to our loyal subscribers, there's plenty of fun to be had in the podcast extras as well a sneaky condensed version of Dinner Winner. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk This weeks podcast is for Coops. Thank you. | |||
| The Important Broadcast Module 240: A Ghost Dog, a Witch and a Fisherman | 04 Sep 2022 | 01:10:53 | |
Sloppy Joe was away this week but that did not phase the Great Leader one bit as he held the show together masterfully despite Steve and Mr Harold's(The cover producer) best efforts to unsettle him. Also in this week's show, we equip you with what to say now that the kids are back to school.

| The Important Broadcast Module 239: A Cello, A Gong & A Conch | 28 Aug 2022 | 01:33:15 | |
The Great Leader loves you. He respects you. However, that doesn't mean he doesn't expect an awful lot from you. This week, Steve went on a team building exercise that sent people to sleep and your leader was fixated on an unusual presence in the studio.

| The Important Broadcast Module 335: What Have They Actually Done, Though? | 07 Jul 2024 | 01:27:21 | |
With the shackles of broadcast rules around election periods off, The Great Leader once again spoke freely and without hindrance. This week, hear his beautiful mind and his thoughts on football, special parking spaces and that man from Timpson.

| The Important Broadcast Module 238: Start With Subbuteo | 21 Aug 2022 | 01:16:44 | |
Being a Senior Listener, is like being a police officer, or a bank manager. It's a position held by an upstanding member of the community, but one who knows their place. This week, two listeners took a daring leap into the unknown, as they through themselves on the mercy of The Great Leader, in the name of Senior Listenership. But were they successful?? PLUS, business hotels, stolen yogurt, chocolate and.... Is Steve hungover??

| The Important Broadcast Module 237: Con Flores | 14 Aug 2022 | 01:14:45 | |
It was another one of those ones today... When, in the production meeting before the show, Steve says "I don't think I've really done anything this week." Then, of course, part way through the show, he comes out with "Oh yeah, I went to a horse sanctuary." Perfect. Plus, The Great Leader's holiday nemesis and a scary, snowy scene in "Explain That."

| Introducing: Restless Natives ! | 10 Aug 2022 | 00:01:31 | |
Hey listener, here's a podcast we think you'd like to listen to...
Restless Natives is a cult Scottish film from 1985 featuring two scallywags – The Clown & The Wolfman. It’s iconic. Two resourceful rascals who take on the ambitious task of holding-up tourist buses in the Highlands… They were Robin Hood, only Scottish and on the back of a motorbike.
Gordon Smart & Martin Compston are sampling that spirit - inspired by The Clown & The Wolfman - and distilling it into a podcast. They are setting themselves lofty ambitions before setting off in pursuit of tasks and goals they have absolutely no right achieving. A bit like their careers in TV, movies, newspapers and radio…
Join them as they recount some of their ridiculous scrapes and adventures from the past while they plan even more ambitious, unreachable schemes for the future. Some of them will be achieved and others will crash and burn spectacularly. They’ve got lots to talk about, lots to share with you and nothing but time.
As the film once said: “Is this the end of the story or a beginning of a legend?” | |||
| The Important Broadcast Module 236: A Modern, Self-Inflating Ego | 07 Aug 2022 | 01:07:50 | |

| The Important Broadcast Module 235: One of The Leaves Tasted Like Apples | 31 Jul 2022 | 01:18:56 | |
How many of you go through your weeks thinking... "I wonder what Steve Ferdinando did this week." Well this week, the answer was "foraging." Meanwhile, The Great Leader researched the lighter side of the prison system and why not take a guess on how many Kit-Kat flavours there are in Japan? IT'S LOADS.

| The Important Broadcast Module 234: Dustbin Dad | 24 Jul 2022 | 01:18:26 | |
The Great Leader branched out this week and blessed the patrons of Latitude Festival with his presence. The masses gathered, marvelled and at times fainted - and contrary to local reports of hot weather and dehydration, The Important Broadcast is confident that it was The Great Leader himself who provoked this. Elsewhere, Steve celebrated his birthday and a French taxi driver had a cup of coffee.

| The Important Broadcast Module 233: An Office Fan | 17 Jul 2022 | 01:16:20 | |
You may not need The Important Broadcast Squad to remind you how hot it's been of late, but a spot of small-talk on the topic never hurt anyone. The Great Leader made many pronouncements today. All of which should be noted down. Plus, Steve bought a fan and got lost on a bus.

| The Important Broadcast Module 232: BIG Mistake | 10 Jul 2022 | 01:24:39 | |
It was a seat of the pants show today, but only because SOMEONE couldn't get their buttons right. The Great Leader remained flawless and Steve turned up and said many of the sorts of things he usually says like "I don't burn that hard" and "I have no facts."

As he explains in this very episode, The Great Leader doesn't encourage chanting of his name. Just remember that. This week, Steve had a public humiliation dream and a fortune cookie surprised everyone.

There you go folks. It finally happened. If you've grown tired of the wedding chat in the last few years, it ends here!

There are tales of embarrassment, inconvenience and love, as well as boilers, jubilation and Jason Manford!

Before The I.B.S wave a tearful farewell to Steve (don't worry, he's only going on holiday), they must step up to the plate and fill it with content. There are some gags to be rammed, facts to be told and The Great Leader has changed the way he eats sandwiches.

The Great Leader found it necessary to bed down in his fortress today. He did not bother himself with the hustle and bustle of London, but instead, descended to his basement to make his pronouncements there. Nonetheless, his presence was felt worldwide and the people did learn and fawn about him.

As is the case every year, The I.B.S wishes all the Mums a top day and extends thoughts to those whose Mums are no longer with them.
Of course, the tradition is that The Top 10 Mums chart is announced - that will ALWAYS be the case and besides that, there's so much more! The Great Leader went to the pub for a sunny lunch, Steve walked on a red carpet (but got it wrong) and we were all invited on a mind-trip into The Dannyverse.

The hangover pendulum swung this week, but who did it knock over this time?! The Great Leader was in very good spirits and at one stage, even opened the floor to questions, without the usual pre-written, 72 hour courtesy clause. Plus facts, realisations and musings in spades.

| The Important Broadcast Module 211: I'm Like David Geffen | 06 Feb 2022 | 01:05:45 | |
**PLEASE READ**
The Producer of Danny Wallace's Important Broadcast would like to clarify that in the course of today's show, he incorrectly attributed a poem about peas, to the excellent poet, Pam Ayres. Whilst Ayres' works are many and splendid, she did not write this particular ode to peas. The internet makes conflicting claims about who did write the poem.
ANYWAY.
This week, Steve wore his (slowly fading) mustard shirt and claimed he was like David Geffen. Don't worry about Googling him, because The Great Leader will ensure you are fully up to speed. Plus, a mysterious ticking noise in Wallace Towers and lots of talk about peas.
