Someone's got to say it haven't they? Luckily The Important Broadcast isn't scared to just SAY IT. This week, Steve has a go at some stand up he wrote a long time ago, The Great Leader asks you to "Explain That" in a new feature and the team discuss yogurts. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

There's an awful lot going on this week. The chance for deadlock to finally be broken in Dinner Winner, some hastily put together facts, a big old topic for a small-talk texter, a complete deconstruction of Rise of the Planet of The Apes and the small matter of Danny's work towards a vaccine. Settle in and enjoy. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

You can always rely on Steve Ferdinando to make you think. This week, it's no different, because just wait until you hear what he has to say about the SUN! Aside from this, The Great Leader was in excellent voice, finally retaking his place back in the studio after many months of basement-broadcasting from home. Expect another tight Dinner Winner and a few mind-boggling facts in Tell Me Something I Don't Know as well! Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

What on earth is a Dingwallace? You'll no doubt learn this and more in the latest Important Broadcast Podcast.

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. You wouldn't have it any other way though, would you? Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

Who's excited about the return of The Know-Biz? It's back guys, and you'll NEVER guess who's featured!?

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.........! On this weeks Broadcast of immeasurable Importance, The Great Leader urges those against masks to do as the title of this episode suggests.

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

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

This week on The Important Broadcast, The Great Leader is reunited with his precious Steve but the "manager of expectations" is absent.

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.

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

The Important Broadcast strives every week, to answer questions. Maybe they're not always important questions, but the answers are often provided anyway.

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.
