Danny Wallace's Important Broadcast

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

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

Is everyone familiar with the saying "time is a fun well"? If you aren't, it won't be long until that changes. This week, The Great Leader makes wide-ranging pronouncements and urges you to share your information on census day. 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. Have wet boots slowed you down? How will you dry them? FIND OUT. Do you keep losing teaspoons? What's that all about? FIND OUT. Just sit back and get ready to learn one hell of a lot. 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. Prepare for texts about fence boundaries, snakes in the toilet and aggressive crows. There's all that, plus a strange village phenomenon, some criminal colour-blindness and a couple of jokes too. 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. Hear the tale of the horrible spider Christmas tree, the brand new smell that Steve has made and have a guess at who might be the focus of this weeks Know-Biz! Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

You know the man on the Pringles tins, right??? Get ready to have that mystery solved by Steve. There's the annual "ready for Christmas?" small talk (slowly becoming a December tradition) and the Champion of Champions show down in Dinner Winner too. Plus, some strange goings on in Explain That and PRESENTS for everyone, but not FROM everyone. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

With the season of yule upon us all, the Important Broadcast Squad rocked up for the weekly knock about. Find out about The Great Leader's new job, Steve's unusual dietary habits and a Crime & Punishment submission that'll knock your Christmas socks off! Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

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.

Another week to have a friend (digitally) round this week! Author of the fantastic "This Is Going To Hurt", Adam Kay joined the IBS to talk about his new book for kids. You can also expect a vintage Dinner Winner, tons of "Explain That" and a bit more sharp justice in "Crime & Punishment". Plus, is Steve's name even real? 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???" There you go then; that should be everything you need, but do remember that there's an element of the work that is considered your responsibility. We're not messing about here. Get on with it. 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....? There's also a pair of geese in nappies, your crimes, the Leader's punishments and even some "football gossip". Is there anything the Important Broadcast can't do!? Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

The traditional Sunday programme brought a whole week of intense broadcasting to a close. Did the IBS show any signs of fatigue though? NOT A BIT OF IT. Find out about a part of Steve's life that NO ONE knew about, brace for the return of Dinner Winner and get the latest of The Great Leaders conspiracy stories. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.
