Danny Wallace's Important Broadcast

You know those Important Broadcast Modules that go a bit weird. This one went a bit weird. The Great Leader tells you of turkeys, trains and other worlds. Be grateful to him and learn. Just be sure to learn. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

Not long until the milestone 100th Module eh? Just you wait. This week, the topics included kebabs, police officers' helmets and an apology, amongst other things. Steve got raucous (not at all raucous) after a night out and The Great Leader had cause to celebrate! Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

Two podcasts to get through in one week eh? How will you possibly manage. In Module 95, you can look forward to a story about a horse, a fact about time and a question about a burger. There's also some maths and a really big dog. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

SURPRISE! It's another double-podcast weekend and aren't you pleased? Today The Great Leader launched a brand new initiative (award) which he thinks you'll like. There's a Know-Biz special (no prizes for guessing who it's about) and Steve revisits the alphabet. Back tomorrow! Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

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... "Sinner Winner" sounds a lot like "Dinner Winner" after all. There was a disgusting story about fingernails and Steve overheard some 'facts' in a coffee shop. Here we go! Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

The Leader was disturbed by his own actions this week as he acted impulsively and doesn't know how to sort it all out. You'll learn about 'stone tape theory' and end up even more confused than you already are about the clocks going back next week. There's a very strange Dinner Winner and some facts about words too. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

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 condemnation of minors aside, todays Important Broadcast was flawless. Have you ever mistaken someone's identity and goosed them? Sure you have! Hear the Great Leader reminisce upon his sparkling career as an actor and bring yourself up to date with how everyone's Mum is doing. PLUS... Make sure you listen out for the secret "Peepo!" Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

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'. Find out about the time Steve was haunted, what The Great Leader's impulsive spending habits have seen him purchase this week and consider the question, "how do bus timetables REALLY work?" 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? Do you want to hear how Steve's performance as "Best Man" went? Have you ever wanted to introduce Eastenders on BBC 1? All this and more, guys... All this and MORE. 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, The Great Leader challenged a crow expert and Steve trusted you, dear listener, with an excerpt from his Best Man speech. There's a fact about crabs and some sort of mind exercise involving a flock of sheep. Just stick with that last one. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

The Important Broadcast sees itself as an institution, and you should too. This week, the squad dedicated themselves to shout-outs. Why not? There's a story about the beach, The Leader puts you in the Know-Biz and Steve gets confused about 'chins'. Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

Hello and Get Into The Music to you! This week saw the return of Producer's Travis and Alternative Joe to the Important Broadcast Squad in the absence of 'The Icon' Joe Attewell. In this week's Important Podcast, you can expect to hear about Steve's fly trouble, a mysterious call that came into the studio and find out what The Great Leader really thinks of you, the listener. A lot to learn this week, so get your listener pads open! Please send your listener comments to [email protected] Thank you.

The Important Broadcast asks the question - have you ever seen Freddie Mercury's face in a piece of pork? Well go on... Have you? 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.
