We can all acknowledge that the repeats / issues with the order in recent podcasts has been a shoddy and sorry affair. This week, the person writing this blurb is fairly confident that module 262 is all hanging together rather well. But what is contained within?! Steve's hijinks at The Brits, The Great Leader's complete own-goal and a not entirely planned trip to the cinema. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Lucy Hartley. Thank you.

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

Plus, an update on Steve's flat hunting, the Great Leader's downtime activities and the lengths he went to, in order to buy some salt. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Henry. Thank you.

Plus, brain-reading, junk mail, public singing and more from the haunted dog. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Jude. Thank you.

The IB was straight back into full swing this week, with all the seasonal nonsense taken care of. This module contains many stories, so focus on them as you would your own child or loved one. There are tales of Switzerland, it's flawless airport security, the elderly and the nature of fragrance. Enjoy! Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Daniella. Thank you.

The Great Leader is as sick as he’s ever been, but still, he has made the huge effort to broadcast to you, his loyal servant.

Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for James, Elana, Sophie & Ruairi. Thank you.

The Great Leader gave so much to The Broadcast this week. He left no stone unturned, no thought unfinished and no listener unheard. The inspirations for names, the joys of Christmas, the value of Nectar and the importance of paying attention were all addressed and all in the name of education and amusement. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Jaymes. Thank you.

The Great Leader's postman has become confused about exactly whose letters he's delivering... But who's he thinking of instead? Meanwhile, Steve returned from Ben Nevis with a predictably shoddy excuse of an apology and he brought back memories of a "devil monster thing" which he saw in his room. Plus, knee surgery, medals and more news on the lack of fig rolls on supermarket shelves. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] weeks podcast is for Martin & Izzy.Thank you.

With the team separated by hundreds of miles and scattered across the country, it was a scramble to get together to discuss the breaking news of the day, but ultimately necessary. What does it all mean, and how does it affect things going forward? With the very latest developments only now becoming clear, Danny, Steve and Joe dissect what's known and wonder what isn't. This is your Emergency Podcast. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

So it really was the case, that Stephen Ferdinando would be absent for the 250th Module of this very Important Broadcast. Nonetheless, The Leader was gleeful in his celebratory garments. With Rufus (dog) present once more, the conversation turned every which way, from currywurst, inanimate object empathy and beyond. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Simon. Thank you.

249 Modules! Only one more to go until the great big, exciting 250th! So you'd have to imagine something BIG is planned, right?! Wrong... Steve's going on a mini break, so it'll be just another Important Broadcast. GOOD SCHEDULING STEVE... Never mind. This week, the minds of the I.B.S were turned to matters including fig rolls, team building, dubious film titles and grey hair. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] This weeks podcast is for Vicky, Richard & James. Thank you.

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. 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] 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.
