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

The Important Broadcast Module 110: What Are You Saying About My Personality?

There's no point in glossing over it. It's a tense one this week and The Great Leader punishes the team for their poor choice of words. There's also a fact about elephant appendages and perhaps the birth of a whole new feature! Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

The Important Broadcast Module 94: You're Hell-Bound Either Way

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.

Oct 27, 20191h 11m

The Important Broadcast Module 93: Can You See The Ghost Baby?

The Leader was disturbed by his own actions this week as he acted impulsively and doesn't know how to sort it all out.

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

The Important Broadcast Module 92: "Sorry Ethan"

Today's podcast title is dedicated to the young man whom The Great Leader inadvertently told he was bound for hell. You're not Ethan!

The Important Broadcast Module 91: No One's Scattering Buses

This week, The Important Broadcast was looser, more relaxed, but just as much fun. Please note that it was NOT zany or wacky and there were definitely no 'skits'.

The Important Broadcast Module 89: New Listening Positions

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

Sep 22, 201944 min

The Important Broadcast Module 88: I Wasn’t Spooning Beans Out of A Child’s Boot

Aug 25, 201956 min

The Important Broadcast Module 84: I Didn't Realise You Were A Double Socker

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

Aug 18, 201949 min

Compulsory Podcast: Bonus EarMiles

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.

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

Aug 17, 201952 min

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.

Jul 21, 201958 min

The Important Broadcast Module 79: A Weekend In Dorking

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.

The Important Broadcast Module 78: The Tasty Nasty Pasty Pasty

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.

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

Jul 7, 201953 min

The Important Broadcast Module 77: Are You Polyester?

What sort of person uses a spoon for Marmite? This week's podcast will answer that question, and so many more.

Jun 30, 201939 min

The Important Broadcast Module 76: A See Through Bag With An Atrocity In It

Jun 23, 201958 min

The Important Broadcast Module 75: I Can't Believe No One Else In Here Cares

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

Jun 16, 20191h 4m

The Important Broadcast Module 74: I’d Like To Announce My Candidacy

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].

The Important Broadcast Module 73: It's In The Basement of A Hostel

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.

Jun 2, 201955 min

The Important Broadcast Module 72: In The Presence of A Journalist

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.

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

May 26, 201949 min

The Important Broadcast Module 71: What's Down There?

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.

May 20, 201959 min

The Important Broadcast Module 70: I Could Smell His Wings

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.

May 12, 201953 min

The Important Broadcast Module 69: What Do You Reckon Richard Madeley's Doing?

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.

May 5, 201953 min

The Important Broadcast Module 68: Shed Head (with Cookie Monster & Gonger)

"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.

The Important Broadcast Module 67: They Only Need To Survive The Reception

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.
