Plus, unbelievable phone-based rudeness in The Great Leader's life and that pesky snake from the bible. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Brian. Thank you.

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??’. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Ian (courtesy of his wife incumbent, Stef.) Thank you.

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'. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Marcus (courtesy of the very graceful, Grace.) Thank you.

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. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Marcus. Thank you.

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. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Ross McMahon Thank you.

Steve revealed an unexpected ambition this week, much to the amusement of his colleagues. There was talk of frightening tech mysteries, monsters, trains from Billericay and some homework that The Great Leader ended up doing for nothing. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Sophia Spickett Thank you.

Rumours have swirled around the internet and it's all eyes and ears on The Great Leader, to see how much he'll say... Plus, Steve shares some unconvincing facts and the culinary based, 12:30pm tradition returned... Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for (Pre 23rd September) Miss Emma Hicks / (Post 23rd September) Mrs Emma Coleman Thank you.

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 [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Coops. Thank you.

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. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for George. Thank you.

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. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Kimi Thank you.

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?? Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Thomas & Lucy. Thank you.

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." Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Cristina (with listener), subject to conditions. Thank you.

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 IBS consider, for your delectation: Sparrow Hawks, fame, the supernatural, pizza, completion & scams. LITERALLY, what else could you want or need? Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Greg & The Children. Thank you.

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. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Romana. Thank you.

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. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Sara. Thank you.

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. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for "all the nurses" and "Battersea Dogs & Cats Home". Thank you.

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." Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for James. Thank you.

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. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Loukas. Thank you.

Let's have a quick show of hands... Who already knows what a muntjac is? Don't Google it!!! The Great Leader did what he does best, today. He EDUCATED everyone. There's also talk of desertion and an irregular use of the word "guffaw". Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast back-dedicated to Mel. Thank you.

There was an awful lot to discuss following the fact-finding mission to Monster Jam yesterday. Plus, is The Leader's boiler FINALLY fixed, can only peacocks be trusted and why on earth was Steve in the nude?! Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Jess. Thank you.

The Great Leader asks that you give yourself to The Broadcast. Surrender yourself completely and let it envelope you. This week, Steve's been to an awards ceremony and we find out whether or not the Wallace household has a working boiler yet... Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Max Roberts. Thank you.

There you go folks. It finally happened. If you've grown tired of the wedding chat in the last few years, it ends here! The Great Leader returned from the bailiwick of Jersey and Steve stumbled back from Croatia to perform The Broadcast. There are tales of embarrassment, inconvenience and love, as well as boilers, jubilation and Jason Manford! Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Mary. Thank you.

After talking about it for 3 whole years, that wedding you're tired of hearing about has finally come around. That means there's all sorts to get through, including coach rides, speeches, dinner and plenty of mirth. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Joe, but not just the producer... Anyone called Joe. Thank you.

As The Great Leader continues to struggle in his hot-waterless house, he rallied to broadcast nonetheless. This week brings you wedding chat (it'll end soon!), supernatural intrigue, bear costumes, may bugs and storks. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Robbo. Thank you.

The Important Broadcast absolutely sang this week. It sang with the promise of a story long told and packed plenty more besides: Surprise, education, mystery and competition. It was extraordinary, as ever. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Senior Listener James Beckley Thank you.

Screw your eyes up tight, clench your fists and don't make a sound..... Now LISTEN! The Great Leader was back on patrol this week, whilst Steve contended with yet MORE travel issues. There was a smattering of small talk, a chant in a lift and a lot of emails with people's names in them.... Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for New Zealand Joe. Thank you.

You'll all be pleased to know that Steve made it back from Brazil safely and in good form; with a light tan and a new salmon pink shirt. The Great Leader continues to take issue with the avian community, we hear the origin story of Timothy Tickets and Dinner Winner triumphantly returns! Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Tony. Thank you.

The Broadcast returns... Not at full strength mind you. With Steve in Brazil, it fell to the Leader to shoulder the burden; which he did with ease and grace, of course. There's an old man and a hot tub, an old woman and a swimming pool and there's an aviation focused trip to Barcelona. Get in! Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Issy. Thank you.

Trouble downloading? Oops. Well it's death, isn't it? 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. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Patrick. Thank you.

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. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Harry. Thank you.

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. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Jack F G. Thank you.

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. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Jimmy SomAmirville. Thank you.

You know what happens on The Important Broadcast when someone has an idea for a new game.... It gets bloomin' well tested out. This week, it's a somewhat derivative word game that'll have you shouting the answer into your headphones. There are also member(s) of the team who are very worse for wear and a brief Dinner Winner. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Hannah Thank you.

Two-thirds of the team were in sub-optimal condition for this particular broadcast, but The Great Leader's huge strength and immeasurable talent was more than enough to make up for it. Strap in and don't miss Steve's anecdote about buying some pillows. *NOW WITH ADDED PILLOW CONTENT* Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Naomi, Francesca & Ennio. Thank you.

Today's module may, or may not make you feel old, but it certainly had that effect on The Great Leader. Steve went for a run, the children paid a visit to Studio X and a very special broadcaster prepares to turn 56... Who could it be? Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Holly. Thank you.

We all knew it would happen... This week, Steve Ferdinando became a thief. Hands up if you saw that coming? On the other side of the coin, The Great Leader remained immaculate, even in the face of stormy destruction. You can expect French babies, broken chairs, a landlord and a few notes & corrections. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Paul. Thank you.

The Great Leader speaks at length today, as you can see. Subjects include LeaderFest, onesies, crisps & Dr Hook. Find out all about Steve's experience at The Brits and why todays module is dedicated to an Italian restauranteur.

**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. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Tom & Pizza. Thank you.

The Broadcast takes a forensic and fond look at the world of celebrity siblings this week, with Peter Andre's brother taking a lot of the limelight. Plus, Steve tries to remember whether or not he's met Taylor Swift and Dinner Winner returns!! Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Odie. Thank you.

Will the saga ever end? Will the nation ever be reunited with its beloved Dinner Winner? This week may hold the answer. Steve sought "legal advice" and the team were not only "welcome to come" but positively INVITED to an event. Plus: Dog problems, Crystal Palace and The Great Leader's return to front line security. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for James. Thank you.

You know that you can trust your Great Leader, right? So when he says he won't be angry, then that must be what he means. This week, the fallout from Dinner Winner-gate continued and a familiar feature returned. Plus Ikea meatballs on one (just one) chair. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Alfie. Thank you.

The Important Broadcast has seen its fair share of controversy and scandal over the years. The Great Leader wouldn't be doing his job if it wasn't consistently a very difficult listen. However, this week, things reached boiling point in a revelation that could change the face The Broadcast as we know it. Strap in, sit back and brace yourself (in the foetal position). This is big. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Leo, Lynsey & Jack. Thank you.

This week, The Important Broadcast Squad try out a silly thing that's supposed to be rubbish, but it sort of works! Plus, a BRAND NEW feature for 2022, that's nothing like you've ever heard! Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is (retrospectively) for Michael Dwyer Thank you.

Merry Boxing Day from The Important Broadcast and if Boxing Day isn't your bag (or box), then we hope you've had a smasher of a day, nonetheless. In this somewhat seasonal edition, music fandom is tested, facts are exchanged and a crow loses the trust of those around it... So it's pretty much a usual show, right? Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

'Tis your seasonal broadcast and all through the house... THERE SHOULD BE SILENCE. The Great Leader allows small moments of levity in an otherwise serious broadcast, to allow for your yuletide excitement. This week, there are shoe spiders, the Grand Final of Dinner Winner 2021 and a welcome return of Paul Hollywood, 55. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Isobel (not Steve) Thank you.

Yes, apparently that's how you spell "sass". It's not a word you write very often, is it? The Broadcast sparkled today, like a star atop a brilliant tree - but then, it always does. Steve had some wise words, The Great Leader had wiser ones and it all culminates in a TENSE Dinner Winner. Enjoy. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

Ready yourselves, The Great Leader is back once again with a bountiful Important Broadcast that will teach you everything you need to know. This module features a Small Talk Texter to see you through the week, a record-breaking pasta fact and the first ever outing of something called "Steve's Feature". Sit back, relax and enjoy. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Fran & Abigail. Thank you.

In a hearty and well-proportioned broadcast this week, The Great Leader dispenses wisdom like he's handing out candy. How does Google really work? What kind of sculpture would communicate road safety and when it comes to soup, which colour is best? Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Sean. Thank you.

That's 200 then! You must have learned an incredible amount by now, so well done. This week is a truly feature length module with everything from Steve's dating tips, to ancient dances, to pickle ball and all the way to the world of business hotels and back. Take it all in. This is your 200th module. That is all. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Rohan. Thank you.

It was an occasion like no other this week, but that's mainly because it wasn't forgotten about this time! The Great Leader's birthday was marked the way that it should have been last year.... And the year before that.... And, indeed, the year before that. There were messages galore, some essential education, many lovely emails and one in particular that caused some brief confusion! Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Gemma and Lyra. Thank you.

Your Great Leader maintained a dignified and fruitful broadcast this week and taught you everything you need to know, for now, at least. Before it ends, this episode touches upon clowns, candy floss, literature, a hangover and beef. Get it together and enjoy. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Michael (and Stu). Thank you.

The I.B.S heartily apologises for the lack of contact last week. The Great Leader was taken ill. This will not happen again. All returned to normal this week, though, and much was learned. What's a war car? What's a cat war? What do the Spanish eat? As usual, you'll find out. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Natalie. Thank you.

Have a guess at how many state-appointed wizards there are in the world... Now, remember your answer and see if you got it right in this weeks module!!

The IBS returned to full strength with the return of Steve Ferdinando, who for reasons which were unclear, was not running the London Marathon. Predictably, he brought stories of misfortune and woe and they were enjoyed by all, not least, by The Great Leader. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Claire (and the wee boy, Arthur). Thank you.

Look, if you want to wear little pants, good luck to you: That's your own business. This week, with Steve absent, The Great Leader pulled all the weight and he did so with style and strength. We revisit a mower misdemeanour and the fabled "Peacock Parade" bursts forth in full colour. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Amelie. Thank you.

It looks like Module 192 is a bit of a long one and rightly so, because there is just so much to discuss. Where did The Great Leader's fact-finding mission lead him this week? Find out! Plus, a football match between Dundee & Dundee and a fiery argument about sandwiches. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Sarah. Thank you.

The Great Leader distributed his minions on fact-finding missions this week, along the M4 corridor, to return with offerings and information. Steve had some classic "Steve thoughts" and Martin in Cornwall got angry about Dinner Winner, but that's par for the course! Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Simbi & Kiwi, the one-year-old cats belonging to Sam & Beth Holman. **UPDATE** 19.09.2021 - NO LONGER DEDICATED TO SIMBI & KIWI - INSTEAD, DEDICATED TO THE SLITMASTER 85. Thank you.

You know how it works by now. 190 of these modules should be enough for you to know that you're about to learn an immense amount, from shark history to earthquake kits and beyond. You'll also find out why you'll never be able to brag about having the Pope's eyes and why Steve's messed his calendar up. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Mary. Thank you.

"What's a road flap?".... You know how this works folks: Just listen and find out! There's plenty besides too, with a scary encounter for Steve and an unfortunate incident for The Great Leader. There's also some lateral thinking, some Crime & Punishment and a bit of small talk. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Thomas Goodyear. Thank you.

The Important Broadcast Squad report to you this week, having received 100% of their jabs. Be like The I.B.S!! Steve was all of a muddle (but how's that any different to the rest of the time) and The Great Leader was in stupendous form with tales from the cities and countryside alike. There's communist artwork, a professional reveal and the return of the paranormal! Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for everyone, because the producer of the show may, or may not have forgotten to source a dedication email. Thank you.

The title of this particular episode tells you that you're going to learn a fair bit. That's good isn't it? Catch up with all the wedding nightmares, Steve's (sort of) departure and a new sport, invented by your very own Great Leader. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Sarah. Thank you.

It's The Great Leader's wishes that not only do you take time to learn the new listening positions, but also that you renounce something meaningful. Just do it. This week, Steve told one of his ever-decreasing anecdotes and The Leader was back in his Heathrow business hotel. Business as usual. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Abs. Thank you.

The I.B.S was back up to full capacity this week, although some mild hangovers did make an appearance as well. Steve was back and full of all the usual wisdom you've come to expect... AND The Great Leader was armed with jam. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Charlotte & Lawrence Thank you.

It seems, of late, that we spend all of our time playing a game of "where's Steve?" It's time for another round of that this week. Plus, the text topic that brought the country together, a golden toilet and a fish with a very long name (see title). Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Mel. Thank you.

Oh no... Where's Steve now?? Don't worry... He's 'here', but also not here. This week, The Great Leader teaches us all what Californiacation means, how to get an extra breakfast and why his wife has gone off courgettes. Steve, meanwhile, got angry about the cost of a dog and hurt himself whilst he did yoga. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Orinoco from "The Wombles". Thank you.

It's where you weekend starts and it offers plenty to discuss this week. Where did Danny & Steve go on Saturday and what is there for Important Broadcast fans to celebrate? Find out what's on TV tonight and gear up for The Great Leader's best joke in 20 years. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Dieter Pauls. Thank you.

If you're fond of episodes of this podcast where Steve is asked a question he can't answer, you're in for plenty of treats. Find out what's lurking at the bottom of someone's bed in "Explain That", what would be in The Great Leader's utility jacket and why the ocean is on fire. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Shane's wife. Thank you.

It's ROAST time!! You submitted your roasts for Steve and today he was on the receiving end of them! Do you think that was all though? Of course it wasn't! There was a packed lunch, a (hypothetical) fight with a badger and a hotel in Blackpool too! Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Barbara. Thank you.

The most important thing for you to do, is get your "comedy roasts" in for Steve. If you'd like to roast Steve in next weeks show - you can! Email your roasts to [email protected]. Don't worry; once you listen, it'll all make sense! What else happens in this module? Well, how about a nuclear threat, a legal issue and a sacrificial solstice? Lovely. That'll do the trick. Please send your listener comments (and roasts for Steve!) to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Hannah. Thank you.

With Steve having planned a holiday to the Algarve, where on earth did he end up instead? Simply press play and find out! If you want more than that, and you might, get ready for a considerable peep behind the radio curtain, a bit of sweepstake news and all the cars going round and round. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Jimmy. Thank you.

There are jabs aplenty this week as The I.B.S found themselves 50% vaccinated! There's also an incredible revelation about the facilities at Steve's (free) accommodation and a gathering of youths around the Great Leader's house. All that plus chillies, gnomes, online gaming friends and a clash of epic proportions in Dinner Winner! Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Bryan. Thank you.

Get into the music to you. Your Great Leader has graced you with another podcast. With Joe away finding himself on a canal boat in Birmingham, Producer Will steps in this week for another game of Tell Me Something I Don't Know. Plus, there's a small talk texter and talk of an award nomination! Exciting listening ahead... but what else would you expect from your Important Broadcast? Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Siobhan. Thank you.

Don't let one second of this weeks broadcast pass you by: Your Great Leader forbids it. Many things will be considered, including Humpty Dumpty, pockets, doppelgängers and the scarred industrial face of Great Britain. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Nick's (left or right) fist. Thank you.

A week rarely goes by in your Great Leader's life where something extraordinary hasn't taken place. This week is no different. Find out why Joe Biden has been in touch, what's going to be delivered after 15 weeks and what on earth is written on the back of that hoodie. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Georgia. Thank you.

For what seems like an age (and for absolutely no reason whatsoever), The Great Leader has neglected to tell you 'where he parked'. Luckily, that all changed today. There's a great deal besides too, including pizza, explosive condiments, cryptocurrency updates and more! Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Clarice (not her real name). Thank you.

Fans of justice, stand by for an update on The Great Leader's role as a local security enforcement officer. There's plenty of parking chat this week, which you'll know doubt be thrilled by as well. All that, plus the conspicuous absence of Steve as he abandons the broadcast in favour of an experiment. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Helen. Thank you.

Look out for them, because if Teddy Boys are on the decline, we ALL need to do something about it. That's in no way what todays module is about, but it makes for an amusing title. This week, wrap your ears around everything from a Japanese criminal with a lot of birthdays to an unfortunate tale about Dogecoin. All that, plus SO much more. Just bloomin' listen. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for James. Thank you.

So much to learn and all the time in the world! Whatever you had on, cancel it. This week The Broadcast does so much for you. Croissants, lizards (same item), silhouettes, haircuts and so much more. There's also every single game and feature you could ever need. They just keep coming.... Tell Me Something I Don't Know, Explain That, The Knowbiz and your biggest favourite; Dinner Winner. Right this way please. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Grace Rose. Thank you.

Are you standing by with your listener pads? This week The Great Leader has vital information on how a new kitchen implement can drastically improve the quality of the simplest of foodstuffs - rice. Joe has taken the week off to celebrate his partner's 30th which meant Producer Will stepped up to the plate to help out with Tell Me Something I Don't Know and judge Dinner Winner. Plus The Great Leader has another mysterious and very, very, detailed paranormal story to put to Steve in Explain That!

You've probably always thought of The Great Leader as a tough guy, but this week he has proof. There's so much more than that though, because Steve promises a story about a cereal bar, so make sure you're ready for that one. All that plus balconies, emails and something called "Respect in Peace"! Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Amy. Thank you.

You know the lad in Home Alone, right? In that case, you probably know that the title of todays podcast is NOT his name, but whatever. This week, The Great Leader brings you more Know-Biz gossip about everyone's favourite Smarden based chef, Steve comes up with another idea and everyone is encouraged to be more compliant.

There's more Nectar drama, some photographic mystery and the glorious return of The Knowbiz! Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

It's nice to build new traditions, so hopefully the annual "Top 10 Mums" countdown has become one of yours. It's a bit of fun. There's plenty more besides though, with textbook time slips, a whole stack of dinners and a Best of British controversy. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

Bravery comes in many forms. In the last year or so, we've seen immense bravery from all corners of Great Britain and the rest of the world too, but today, bravery played a huge role in the actions of one member of the I.B.S. Get ready for paranormal gnomes, a million pound idea and the ins and outs of octopus cooking. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

The offering this week approaches 80 minutes and gives you plenty of time to take it all in, especially once you factor in the second and third listens (at half speed where necessary). Apparently Steve has made a new friend, so he'll tell all about that. Plus, some crow propaganda, more on the great Nectar mystery and a crucial update from Senior Listener, James Beckley, about his food shop. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

The Important Broadcast is unashamedly and categorically proud of its mission to educate. This week's module goes out of its way to do this and more, with all the usual facts; but lessons too.

Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

Following some very sad news for our Great Leader, the I.B.S returned to the airwaves, in an effort to do business as usual and to pay tribute to a fantastic man. As it fell to Steve to do the heavy lifting in the anecdote department, you're in for a treat with stories about a long chest hair and the confusion he experiences when it comes to the pronunciation of a certain high street restaurant chain. All that plus the usual treats of Tell Me Something I Don't Know and Dinner Winner! Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

The Squad put in a cracking shift today, producing well over an hour of delightful content for you to carry into your week. Take on some small talk, learn about why people used to wear hooves on their feet, recline for a moment with Morten Harket and get ready for this summers big blockbuster "The Core"! Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

Can you believe it?! The I.B.S finally have some anecdotes to share with you! After weeks of featureless lockdown, the stories came all at once today.

Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

In any given module, you're always going to find a fair helping of the paranormal, but this week supercharges that offering. Get ready to meet Uncle JoJo! There's plenty else mind you; The Great Leader has a moment of forgetfulness that's in no way his own fault, a winner is FINALLY crowned in Dinner Winner and there are too many vending machines... FAR TOO MANY. Please send your listener comments to [email protected]

It's soundbites like that, which by now, you'll realise you only hear on The Important Broadcast: "Pop a sausage on a fish." But who says it? How does it come up and why?? There's only one way to find out. Immerse yourself for an hour or so in Module 157. How on Earth did we get here? Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

It's 2021 and The I.B.S are back to attack it with zeal. There's talk of rescue bikes, tandems bikes, power-bellies and RC planes. Did Steve have a hangover on New Years Day? YES. Welcome back everyone! Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

You might be a bit tired of people saying "blimey what a year" and "I won't be sorry to see the back of it" but here's a whole podcast with that sentiment. Keen to bid farewell to 2020, The I.B.S took a look back on the highlights of the year you may have missed, what with everything else going on. As the title suggests, dinosaurs are back, but there's also a new Adolf Hitler and even a couple of new world records. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

Whatever happens, The Important Broadcast is with you and will continue to be! In the light of the tough Christmas news, The Great Leader made merry with Steve and Producer Vin so that you might feel a bit better about everything.

It's important that you're prepared before pressing play today, because there's an awful lot to take in. Are you ready? Good. This week, most of the IBS have been sent gifts, but not everyone is happy. There's also a fair bit of supernatural stuff to get your teeth into and an unashamedly Churchillian moment from the bloke at No. 10. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

Hi Important Broadcast listener! Radio X are releasing Season 2 of a podcast we think you’ll enjoy. That’s A First! is hosted by comedians Maisie Adam and Tom Lucy and in each episode they’re joined by a guest who reveals some interesting firsts from their life… and then gets ripped to shreds. In series 1 we heard about the first time Romesh Ranganathan soiled himself just before he was due to go in stage and series 2 promises to be just as revealing with guests such as Joel Dommett, Kiri Pritchard McLean and Chris Kamara!   This is a quick taster from Maisie & Tom. If you like it, search ‘That’s a First!’  and subscribe on Global Player or wherever you get your podcasts.

150! That's got to be a milestone RIGHT?! Well... Not especially, no, because when you consider additional episodes i.e. Compulsory Podcasts, Bonus Modules etc. the team exceeded 150 a while ago, but STILL! Here's Module 150: A Module that will teach you how many bones a snake has (it's not one) and what "turncoat" means. There's a very one-sided Dinner Winner, some vintage Know-Biz and some vaccine news too. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

Everyone remembered everything for this week? Sure? You've definitely remembered all the things you needed to remember about this particular week? Cool. This time the squad talk about a big bird voting scandal, Steve's Dad shouts at fireworks and there's a mystery on a UFO and Robbie Williams is there. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

For all the time we've all spent wondering why pizza boxes are the shape that they are, you'd have thought someone would have explained it by now, wouldn't you? Luckily, Steve Ferdinando is on hand to make it all clear for us. That's not all though! Find out who's in The Great Leader's ever-expanding "crew" and enjoy a bit of poetry too. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

No matter what goes on elsewhere, The IBS will deliver. This week, a man taking pictures of paving slabs causes confusion, Steve gives you a run down of what's what when it comes to relations and there's an awful lot of explaining to do on the paranormal side of things.

Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

It's a zinger this week. The IBS welcome the excellent Susie Dent, there's a glittering Dinner Winner, two blokes in Italy have Scouse accents and there's an interesting think piece entitled "What's Books???"

Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

In Steve's absence this week, a special judge was required for Dinner Winner, but who could it be....?

Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

What a strange time eh? An odd gathering in Trafalgar Square, the absence of Steve and a radio programme that goes into detail about the host's dinners over the course of the week.

Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

Did you come here for some light-hearted comedy relief? Well, be prepared for something a bit heavier. The Great Leader even began the broadcast with a disclaimer that it was "not going to be an easy listen this week". Luckily, the show turned out exactly as he'd predicted. There are a couple of chuckles, sure; but there are some truly harrowing moments too. Strap in for a few facts, a whole lot of dinners, a bit of Crime & Punishment and a man who began his conversation with a warning about how much he was planning on swearing. Here we go then..... Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

The team work an absolute scorcher this week, and the podcast isn't bad either.........!

It's one heck of an episode this week. You've signed up for a very controlled Dinner Winner, the usual amount of research that Steve does for Tell Me Something I Don't Know, some more of your crimes and The Great Leader's punishments and a squirrel in a box, obviously.

The Great Leader was proud to restore normal service this week, after last week's show was unexpectedly derailed. What wasn't normal however was the absence of Steve Ferdinando, who saw fit to stay at home because it was his birthday. What's he like eh? Jimmy from Jimmy's farm turned up though and presided over one of TWO helpings of Dinner Winner! Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

The Important Broadcast was cut a little short this week, as The Great Leader attended to a small emergency - but worry not, for all is well! Bask instead in this short but oh, so sweet podcast.

"Would you like a new apron" and of course "What did Danny Wallace have for dinner on each night of the past week?" Please send your listener questions to [email protected] Thank you.

Who remembers back to Module 1 of The Important Broadcast in January 2018? Guest number 1, Ross Noble returns this week from his bunker in Australia!

Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

This week The IBS (minus poorly Steve) had the pleasure of chatting to Senior Listener, Jurgen - The Blind Foodie! In Steve's absence, Jurgen was also kind enough to judge this week's Dinner Winner.

Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

It's been nice chatting to old friends lately - so this week the IBS welcomed another!

As well as all that - there was a pummelling in Dinner Winner and the launch of a political campaign! Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

As The Great Leader once again beamed his words from an isolation basement in Suffolk, they were heard clearly and they were heard well.

Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

It's a bumper pack, fun-sized, party-mode episode this week. No particular reason... Perhaps The Great Leader just had a lot to say. The IBS also check in with author John Niven to talk about his new book and a bin that he bought! Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

With the IBS fully adjusted to The Great Leader's physical absence - let us all thank goodness for his continued audio presence.

It was a week for absolution this week. The Great Leader and Steve admitted their sins for all to hear in a slight departure from the traditional programming...

Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

Peepo guys! This week, The Important Broadcast is so broad and informative that you may not be able to handle it. Do you know what suet is?

Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

Leave your shoes at the door of the podcast and relax. There... Isn't that better?

This week, expect shocking bean news, another update on Paul Hollywood and find out what Steve thinks about real ale. You can also look forward to an edition of Tell Me Something I Don't Know that ends in tears. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

This week, The Important Broadcast puts you first. Sure, it doesn't want your opinion, but it will tell you what your opinion is! Expect to find out exactly what YOU like on your pizza. There's also a story about a lad who got sacked and a very one-sided round of Dinner Winner. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

What about that then? Two Important Broadcasts in one weekend! Neither more important than the other but both of great importance. The Great Leader spake of a woman with an octopus for a face, the problems faced by the middle classes and why men from New Zealand are licking pavements. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

Whilst The Great Leader wishes for you to understand that this extra podcast is a gift, he also wants it understood that it is COMPULSORY LISTENING. It's no good having a whinge when you fall behind everyone else. Also, why wouldn't you want to listen? Didn't you hear about the return of the third best quiz on the radio..... OH YEAH. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

If you're about to the listen to this podcast and you aren't prepared to learn.... What on Earth are you thinking about? This particular instalment will explain what to look out for in a (very) damp house, detail the alphabet (in FULL!) and more particularly investigate which community the letter 'Y' belongs to. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

Thanks to Carol in Chessington for this week's title! It was a textbook broadcast today: The Great Leader, joyous as ever to bring you more news of peafowl. You can also expect some 'mind-blowing' stories and make sure to look out for the parrot community getting it with both barrels. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

Hello and Get Into The Music to you! This week, in the absence of Iconic Producer Joe Attewell, Producer's Travis and Alternative Joe joined the Important Broadcast Squad. You can expect to find out about Steve's new 'inventions', what Danny and Steve's finishing moves would be if they were wrestlers and you'll even hear an alternative to Dinner Winner. Get your listener pads open, there are a lot of notes to be taken! Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

The Great Leader was buoyant this week upon Steve's return. You may recall that Steve celebrated a stag do in Dorking last weekend: Just WAIT until you hear how well the sports day went! On this episode, you can expect bird-attacks, Love Island (no good if you actually watch it) and a full-blown LIE in the midst of Dinner Winner! Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

You've got the whole world to choose from... Where are you going to book a stag do? Dorking, of course. Steve was absent this week as he took in the sights and smells of Dorking. Meanwhile, The Great Leader was thrilled to have an insight into the various listener chambers; but do you REALLY listen in a cave??? There's also an orange seagull, a couple of Senior Listeners make an appearance and Google translate lets itself down. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

For the sake of clarity - the first "pasty" in the title is pronounced PAYSTEE and the second is pronounced PASTEE. Glad we cleared that up. Welcome to Module 78 of The Important Broadcast. Topics covered this week included chickens in Jersey, a Walmart cake and the return of an old nemesis. You can also expect some more ridiculous reviews in X-Rated! Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

What sort of person uses a spoon for Marmite? This week's podcast will answer that question, and so many more. The Great Leader spake of many things this week: Not least a driving test centre, paragliding and the last time he saw Noel Gallagher. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

If you hadn't heard of a pig pluck before, then now is the time to start listening. The Great Leader tackled the issue of 'compliance' this week and did so with great aplomb. You can also expect a run down of the nation's breakfast, a touch upon Nazi Jazz and a few reviews about a power station. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

You could never conclude that The Important Broadcast is one to pass you by without controversy. The Great Leader loves it: Every Sunday he arises from his slumber and bathes in a vat of liquid controversy, before setting off for the broadcast. This week, you can expect a story about a monkey, a new X-Rated feature (not saucy) and a deeper look into Steve's dreams (not saucy*). Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you. *sometimes saucy

By all means announce your candidacy for a political party. Everyone else is doing it. But don’t, for goodness sake, try to usurp The Great Leader. He hates it when people do that. This week’s episode will bring you a night out with Chris Moyles & Johnny Vaughan, a pesky crow and sexy puffin. That’ll be plenty. Please send your listener comments to [email protected].

Greetings Dan Fans. This week The Important Broadcast Podcast had an air of silliness. A giddiness if you will. It'll make you feel as though you just stepped off the tea-cups and ate several donuts in quick succession. Or not. What you can expect involves a daring seagull, a Kruise holiday (yes that's "Kruise" and not "Cruise") and a meat face. There's also a brief stop at the David Hasselhoff museum. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

Steve Ferdinando: Always hiding his light under a bushell. Once you know what his job really is, you'll never think of him in the same way again. This week, you can expect ducks, a LOT of salmon and a very serious question about what year it is. There's also a "group" discussion and another thrilling match in the Dinner Winner season. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.  

Name another broadcast that'll bring you up to speed on turkeys, mayonnaise & rice dishes... YOU CAN'T. This week, the Great Leader talks photography, potentially offends the Cockney community and brings the game of Dinner Winner into disrepute. You can also expect a fair few mentions of monster trucks. All that plus the dramatic retelling and 10th anniversary of THAT Eurovision story!    Please send your listener comments to [email protected]   Thank you.

You may think to yourself, "Dinner Winner isn't everyone's cup of tea" - but that is irrelevant. How would you know what The Great Leader and The Nitwit had for dinner otherwise? Exactly. This week, Steve went to the theatre, but don't ask him what he saw; that's a pointless question. In other news, Danny found himself in the news. Damn those tabloid jackwagons.  Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.  

A broadcast should not be easy. A broadcast should not be fun. This broadcast seeks only to educate and spark debate. Should the Pope be getting involved? Should you listen to music when you run? Should you provide a dossier of evidence when discussing what you had for dinner this week? Yes. Just say yes. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

"It’s here, it’s been filmed in real life and it’s in Bristol because this is what happens in Bristol now". Excellent words from Tristan Cork there. This week, The Important Broadcast challenges you, not only to Get Into The Music, but also to question the merits of a Full English Breakfast. You can also expect a pair of VERY exciting guests from Sesame Street! Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

How on earth do you pronounce Donald Duck's middle name? Just ask Steve Ferdinando. This week, the sqaud marked Easter Sunday with a typically professional broadcast: Goldfish at a wedding, a peacock in a garden and all of the things that get you riled right up. You can also expect a spicy Dinner Winner and a brief Spanish lesson. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

Returning triumphantly from Austria, The Important Broadcast Sqaud hit the airwaves upbeat, ready and armed with a story about neolithic dogs. Have you ever wondered how watery a potato is? Wonder no more. Are you interested in how skiing differs from snowboarding? Get your fix here. All that plus a Dinner Winner drubbing and the worrying inclusion of listener's sensitive information. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

The Great Leader bends the space-time continuum in order to service you, the listener, with your broadcast. Despite being in transit to Austria, the IBS stepped up and delivered nonetheless. Expect mimes, a disturbing story from Steve and national anthems aplenty. There's also some sausages and a fact about Tom Grennan! Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

The Great Leader was rejoined by the nitwit this week. Fresh (but not too fresh, because jet-lag exists) off the plane from Columbia, Steve returned with offerings of high-culture and nonsese; but mostly nonsense. Expect seagull noises, tulip bulbs (DON'T EAT THEM) and all the "Bad Mother" stories you could ask for. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

Even The Great Leader is wrong sometimes. It happens. With one more week before Steve returns, the listeners were once again employed to fill the void. Alex from Woodbridge played a valiant round of Tell Me Something I Don't Know, and Simon from Essex became The Important Broadcast's very first "Platinum Listener". You can also expect a cameo appearance from Steve as he communicated his Columbian dinners from the other side of the Atlantic! Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

What do you do when your co-host goes on an unexpected holiday? You invite that guy who you know from Rent-a-Friend.com of course! This week, The Great Leader extended a warm welcome back to Jules as he returned for a second opportunity to "Get Into The Music". Expect a story about cheese, a fact about Mr Potato Head and a brief mention of the Hitler's: Not just the main one, but the other ones.  Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

This week, The Important Broadcast flung it's doors open to a new friend! After speaking to him last week, Steve's latest chum came for a little visit to further discuss their blossoming relationship. Further to this, The Great Leader shared a story about a naked man and Steve got heavily into the notion of time travel. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

Immortal or invulnerable? We'll be the judge of that. This week, Steve was (somewhat forcefully) introduced to a new friend. The Great Leader also offers you tales of massage, salsa and welding. In addtion, please expect a hotly contested Dinner Winner and some senseless gossip. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

There you have it: 59 modules of The Important Broadcast Podcast before we finally mentioned "teats". This week, The Great Leader sent Steve to The Brit Awards to get some gossip. Did Steve succeed? Well.... What do you think? Dinner Winner returned after a controversial game last week and a German town was invaded by Smurfs. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

The Important Broadcast Podcast gives you more. More laughs, more facts and more evidence that there's very little point in listening to, frankly, anything else. This week, The Great Leader is dealt a culinary blow, Steve springs a law-based surprise and there's a good look at whether the listener has had their lunch. It's all need to know stuff! Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

Oh! What a lovely broadcast. This week The Great Leader smiled upon a senior listener with a generous gift and the world smiled with him. Steve didn't hold back when it came to his review of black and white awards-fest "Roma" and Joe forgot how old he is. It happens, doesn't it? DOESN'T IT?? As well as all this, get ready to meet Bigfoot and prepare to learn about caffeine, Polaroid pictures, skiing, salmon & fried chicken! Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

Whilst Steve has got no money, he's got his strong beliefs. This week, The Great Leader gives his blessing for the return of Steve's film reviews. Strap in, it gets opinionated. Also, you know how much you love it when someone starts a conversation with; "I had a dream last night, where......." Yes: That happens too. All that plus a difficult decision, a misplaced accusation and some sizeable compensation. It's your Important Broadcast. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

The Great Leader had cause to celebrate this week. 10 years to the day since the grand opening of The Baked Museum of Excellence? See you at the party! Further to this, Steve was praised for his athletic efforts, some men stole some botox and a woman married a duvet. Classic Important Broadcast. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

Time's a funny thing isn't it? Does it matter? You bet you're listening partner's backside it does! The Great Leader was disturbed this week by the presence of an astronomical anomaly. Steve made a factual error (now rectified) and Joe had his head in his hands. What a time to be alive. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

The teachings were food heavy this week. Can you tell the future with asparagus? Can you open a restaurant in your house? Which dinner is better, meatballs or toast? The Great Leader will answer your silly questions with flair and ease. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

It's approaching a year to the day since The Great Leader brought The Important Broadcast back onto the airwaves. Today, it continued in typically magnificent form with new features, new sayings and new ideas about where honey comes from. This week's edition features ferries, a streaker, seasonal crimes and a microwave. Long may it continue. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

The Great Leader is pleased to bestow upon you this; a reward for all of your devotion until this point. A New Year's Day spectacular full of prediction, anticipation, forecast and expectation. What will Steve do in the New Year? What will you call your children? What will the fashion look like? Prepare to learn all of this and more. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

Greetings! Welcome to this special edition of The Important Broadcast Podcast. As the year draws to a close, please enjoy "The Best of The Bits You Didn't Hear". Ok, sure; if you're a regular listener to the podcast, then you might well have heard these bits, but what are you going to do? Some of the words that you hear in this podcast are completely new words. That is to say that they are newly recorded moments that you haven't heard before, not 'new words' in the sense that Steve sometimes makes words up. Enjoy! Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.  

Greetings from the warm bosom of The Important Broadcast. May your days be merry or bright. At this time of year, we join together and make hard to substantiate claims about ridiculous abilities that we have.... Well Steve does anyway. Can he really identify the flavour of crisp by touch alone??? Expect Christmas facts, Christmas Dinners and the final word on the Driving Home For Christmas conundrum. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

Is it ever too early to start getting into the yuletide spirit? The Great Leader thinks that yes, it can be too early. Not to worry; this week's show was a fairly Christmas-heavy zone nonetheless. Expect a big mistake from Steve, the time that Christian Bale met Donald Trump, a (verified) fact about cows and a welcome return from Bill Turnbull as The Important Documentaries continue! Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

The Great Leader invites listeners (senior and junior alike) onto The Broadcast with caution. He does so to appear approachable, warm and affable. This week, it was decreed that Senior Listener Ben should be allowed to spend some time experiencing The Broadcast first hand, owing to his absent-minded Mother's actions, which caused him to miss the beginning of The Broadcast. Following this, Ben and the other listeners recieved great teachings on bull (hand) fighting, threathening emails and enchiladas. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

Greetings and Get Into the Music to you.  With a new producer at the helm while the esteemed Joe Attewell is on his island retreat, we find out how the Great Leader and his Underling Steve, cope with change. As you would you expect, Steve revolts with his own new hastily invented feature.  Plus, a deep analysis, almost bordering on spoken dissertation, of Chris Rea's travel plans for Christmas, a controversial Dinner Winner AND an incredible round of Tell Me Something I Don't Know. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

The Great Leader goes to great lengths to ensure that a toxic work environment is avoided at all costs. Steve ignores these efforts and makes it difficult for everyone. This week, you can expect some easy-to-digest “water cooler chat”, some obnoxious passengers on a train and some awards ceremony beef. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

The Great Leader is a skilled user of words; he knows LOADS of them. Steve has a fairly good grasp on words, but isn’t against making them up from time to time. People are different, and that’s ok. In this week’s edition, you should expect horses, a forgotten birthday, some art work (v. exciting) and a fact about Carly Simon’s Dad. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

How do you relax and unwind? What’s your favourite colour? What on earth is that jewellery modelled on!? Take The Important Broadcast into your life and let it settle in. The Great Leader offers you stories of dolls, Ewoks, silences & squirrels. Sit back. Relax. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

Following an extraction, where should a dentist deposit the tooth? It’s one of life’s many questions that are tackled with ease on The Important Broadcast. The Great Leader brings you tales of teeth and asks you if you saw the fireworks. There’s also a fact about sniffing dogs, a man on a bus and an in depth look at the origins of macaroni cheese. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

Ok, sure.... The Great Leader has written some books. But what about Steve Ferdinando's literary achievements? Does The Important Broadcast spend enough time celebrating those? Perhaps not. This week's instalment looks to rectify this; marvelling at Steve's facility with language and congratulating him on his free-flowing dialogue and effortless delivery. You can also expect a story about a giant peanut, a lumpy hand update and the inevitable facts about animals. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

Do you want to know what it is to be a broadcaster? How important are one’s ears as a broadcaster? This week, The Great Leader tackles horse blinders, close friends and whether or not the listener’s Mums like the show. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you. 

Standby. Sit down. Stray not from the Important Broadcast. Surrender yourself to The Great Leader and slide into something saucy. Still on the air after 40 shows and slaying it. Expect small talk, stir-frying and stacks of stories. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you. 

Get ready to hear an awful lot about a balloon that was discovered in the office. Prepare yourself for chat about 90’s screensavers, films from 1994 and where Tupac could be found alive. There's also a story about 65 naughty cats, some free* halloumi and some pancakes. The Great Leader invites you in and you will accept. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.  *not free

Another week: Another wedding for Steve to attend. It was a musical show this week, with mentions of Dame Shirley Bassey, Oasis, Snow Patrol and quite a lot about Londonbeat. There was also a poem, some stolen Nintendo consoles and a man called Adonis. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you. 

Let’s not mess about. You want to know what’s in the Important Broadcast Podcast, right? There’s a raccoon, a wedding, some street gags, a trailer, a meatball story and a fact about sperm. Alright? Great. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you. 

What a disappointment it is when those around you, for seemingly no reason, decide to shock, insult and upset you. The Great Leader felt betrayed and humiliated this week, but he soon gained back any lost ground. The Important Broadcast is your primary source for all Peacock News. You all know that don’t you? Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you. 

In this week's podcast, The Great Leader promises you more bonus bits than you can shake a stick at. Now put that stick down. There's a brand new feature feauturing the wit and wisdom of Steve Ferdinando, some news about fish, a tense game of Dinner-Winner and if you're very patient, you might even find a secret recipe in the podcast.... Where on earth could it be hidden!? Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.  

It was a pleasure to have Steve back in the studio this week. The Great Leader welcomed him back with warm words and a gift. A new feature was trialled, a bison was startled and “The Leicester Square Jumper” was called out for what he is. There was also a lovely little round of Tell Me Something I Don't Know and finally, everything that you need to know about the CEO of GoDaddy. Don't ever say we aren't good to you. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you. 

It was a multi-faceted broadcast this week. The Great Leader: Dry, warm, dignified and resplendent. Steve Ferdinando: Wet, cold, bedraggled and elsewhere. As Steve reported live from Victorious Festival in Portsmouth - the usual mix of facts, larks and a couple of jokes were all still present and correct. Expect an explosive squid, a STUNNING five-star-challenge and an ex-footballer who doesn't drink tea. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you

Join the Great Leader and Steve Ferdinando as they bring you facts, larks and lies. This week Steve was late, but don't worry - The Leader didn't let this pass without mention. There's also a squirrel, a crocodile (dead) & a tupperware box. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

This week, The Great Leader puts the ball in Steve's court. Steve's reaction is to say something slanderous about a friend's Dad on national radio. Good times. There's also a story from an alley way, a tiger and an email. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

Generally speaking, The Great Leader hopes that you enjoy this week's 30th edition. There's a triumphant return of The Important Documentaries, a story about a royal ghost, a dramatic five star challenge & a whole lot of learning to be done. Get into it. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

The Great Leader offers you a troublesome monkey, bottomless brunch, whale diets and confidence-inducing cat mess. Take these offerings and smear them about your ears. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

This week, The Great Leader brings Steve in to his warm bosom and offers some advice on a tricky issue. A fantastic edition of "Tell Me Something I Don't Know" will leave you very much richer in the fact stakes, and look out for a very wet truck driver, a formation of female festival funsters and some cheeky internet naughties. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

When his subjects make outrageous claims, The Great Leader will break them down and make them look silly. This week, Steve Ferdinando reckons his ears are the best. Silly. There's also a Japanese gameshow, iambic pentameter, a pigeon on a train and the curious case of the stolen clouds. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

Whether or not "it" comes home, The Important Broadcast will remain constant, unwavering and ever-present. It serves as an excellent source for observations on primate behavious and other knock about japes. Finally, it is a fountain of knowledge to drink from, splash around in, but most importantly to LEARN from. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

A quarter century of exquisite Important Broadcasts. Well done everyone. This week brings gay swans, a musical review, a man jogging & a strong message which urges you all to "get into the music". Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

The BIG MATCH! The footie! The beautiful game! Put all of that out of your mind and be sensible, for The Great Leader commands it. This week, there are hotdogs, a swan, errors (oh, so many errors) and a frog. Plus, ready yourselves for Steve's podcast exclusive feature - "Life in Micronews". Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

Blessed be The Father upon this, The Father's Day. The Great Leader offers you facts, opinion and an horrific image of sea creatures falling helplessly from the sky. Plus, find out how Steve's travels in Ghent lead him closer (if only in a geographical sense) to his fortune.  Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.   

The Great Leader only ever wants to educate. That is, apart from the times when there is 'beef', at which point he becomes the butcher. With Steve absent, (although you wouldn't know it, because he's still all over this podcast) a stupendous guest was invited to provide facts: Nice, cold, hard, lovely facts. There's also more peacocks, more bins & a stuffed lion. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

The Great Leader, although not angry, was disappointed by the remarks of some listeners following last week's Module. Today's edition should put all of that to bed. There's also some exciting documentary news and a story about a pig following a man home. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

Another week, another Important Broadcast Podcast milestone smashed into miniscule pieces. This week, The Great Leader offered the nation a platform upon which to engage and they delivered in skip loads. As if that weren't enough to pass out with excitement - brace yourself for further mentions of the collective terms for various creatures and an inspirational talk from Steve. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

Hello valued listener and "Get Into The Music" to you. This week's Important Broadcast gets you up close and personal with hungry dogs, Prince Phillip, riddles & Gods. What more could you want? Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.  

Happy 18th Important Broadcast Podcast everyone. The Great Leader congratulates you. This week shapes up with Irn-Bru, a horse, Nigel Farage and 'bin day'. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

The Important Broadcast is available for your consumption and delectation. The Great Leader brings you tales of monkeys, tips (and tips), and lime zest. It also turns out that Steve is a best man. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

The Important Broadcast comes to you this week with a simple message; "There's no point in complaining." Still, look on the bright side - The Glorious Leader brings you stories of old spiders, Jesus and he's particularly interested in what you smell like. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

This week, The Important Broadcast goes down a rabbit hole in search of The Ferdinando Fortune. Will we find it? Who was Nanny Ferdi really? Will Steve share his riches??? The Great Leader is beckoning for you to follow... QUICK! Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

The Important Broadcast returned from it's jolly tour of Europe and The Great Leader was full of it. "It" being more peacock fun, the questionable existence of Belgium and what the Queen's nicknames are. Assume the position and recieve the broadcast. Please send your listner comments to [email protected] Thank you.

Set your watch for fun and you'll be right on time for The Important Broadcast. This week; consider further reading on peacocks and brace yourself for a risque story from Steve. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

This week The Great Leader got into a bit of a scrape! What on earth is he like? Only minutes before The Important Broadcast took to the airwaves, the studio was hit with some BIG news. The accusations came flying in! Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

Blessings be upon you, listener of The Important Broadcast Podcast. Please find enclosed Module 11. Hear the broadcast, obey the broadcast, love the broadcast. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

The Great Leader thinks, therefore The Important Broadcast is.... In this, the 10th edition of the Broadcast - opinions are challenged, relationships are tested, curtains are lifted and roles are reversed. We learn many things that will NEED to be noted in your listener pads: Danny isn't (technically) here, Steve dreams about Nigel Farage and there is a baby called Donald.   Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

The Important Broadcast wouldn't be the beacon of truth and direction that it is were it not for Mothers. In this week's edition, The Great Leader pays deserved homage to all Mothers great and small. There's also mention of tubas, Copenhagen & denim - but mainly Mothers.  Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you. 

This weeks Important Broadcast Podcast comes to you laden with exactly 19 minutes and 14 seconds of extra-special bonus content absolutley FREE. Can you believe it? Amongst the delights, please enjoy Steve's roundup of the "Three Greatest Films Ever", a rallying call for a "Beano-Brexit" & some more mediocre at best impressions.  Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you. 

The Important Broadcast loves you. You should know that. It was a difficult week at Radio X as our social media editor led us into a war that none of us wanted. Topics this week included Coco Pop potholes, the "Celebrity Cruise" (two part inaugaral special) & whether or not you were going to your Mum's.  Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you. 

A huge week on The Important Broadcast. Liam Gallagher joined the Great Leader to talk about conspiracy and the contents of his fridge. You'll also find a fish-monster, a breakdown of the very latest listener statistics and another look at bringing impressions back to national radio.  Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you. 

The Important Broadcast Podcast enters it's fifth week with an IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT. Aside from that - there are burgers, some impressions, a couple of new directives for junior and senor listeners and all the bonus material that you've come to expect from such a high quality broadcast. Remeber: These podcasts offer a unique and valuable opportunity for you to take all the messages on board and revise them in your own time.  Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

Have you checked who you're sending that E-mail to? Always check who's on the E-mail chain to avoid mistakes. A leaked memo threatened to cause ructions in The Important Broadcast this week. There's more mouse news, a chat about Steve's changing body and quite a few resignations.  Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you. 

The time is upon us for the third part of the Important Broadcast Podcast. Don't be alarmed. In this week's edition - we talk technology, mice and tattoos. We also welcomed Danny Robins, host of "Haunted" podcast to talk ghosts, apparitions and mystery. Try to remember at all times that listener posture is a key part of what we are trying to achieve here. I mean, sure; the podcast is a slightly more relaxed affair, but if you let standards slip then you're buying yourself a one way ticket to shoddy-town.   Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

Welcome to the second instalment of The Important Broadcast! Whilst we want you to enjoy yourself on this course, it’s key to remember that you are here to learn. Discipline is KEY. With that in mind, we find out why you’ve shouted at a child recently, and we get your hot take on an unpopular opinion. Oh, and a little bit of time travel too. ENJOY. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

Hello! Welcome to the Important Broadcast! You should have received your induction pack by now. If not, please reach out to your regional representative.
