Danny Wallace's Important Broadcast

It's D-DAY, which is not to say it's Dan day, because that's every day... THIS D-Day is dedication day, because for reasons unknown, many, many listeners made time-specific dedication requests falling on, or around this very day. It coincides with The Important Broadcast welcoming a new neighbour in the shape of Steve Jones, whom The Great Leader was not in the least bit threatened by. Plus, anoth...

The Great Leader opened the doors for listeners to contribute today and luckily they didn't let themselves down. Lovely. After all that, there was still plenty more to talk about, including Steve's method for measuring olive oil and how exactly one can bridge the generational divide, should one want or need to. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk This week's podcast is dedicat...

Sometimes, the IBS emerge from your device strong, warmed up and at the top of their game. However, don't you think it would be unfair of you to expect that EVERY time? Surely you have to accept that Steve is human and sometimes, just sometimes, he might need the first 30 minutes of the show to warm up. Is that not ok!? Not to worry, because once he'd warmed up, it all fell into place. Toothbrushe...

Steve has a lot to unload this week. Luckily, The Great Leader bears the weight of a thousand men, so it is no challenge. Firstly, there are Steve's international piano lessons. Then, there's the issue of how many times he might have to go and see 'the new Nolan.' The Great Leader simply listens and advises better than any wiseman ever could. He is flawless. Please send your listener comments to D...

When The Great Leader asks "who else is doing this on the radio?" it means he's about to do something that, quite literally, nobody else would dare to do on the radio. Such is his courage. Steve, to his credit, will back The Great Leader through all of this and for that he, too, should be commended. This week there are conversations which include milk, sitcoms and Father Christmas. Enjoy. Please s...

The Great Leader has given it a huge amount of thought and has decided that 'Retail Roulette' (an idea that the IBS half-heartedly tried out last week) could, in theory, potentially, in the right market conditions, become a semi-regular feature, depending on many factors... So that's exciting. Plus, Steve has been chatting to his bin, so there's a lot to unpack there. Please send your listener com...

Most British people have spent all summer talking about the weather and The Great Leader reflects that beautifully, in todays programme. Then Steve continues to talk about the weather and if anything it all gets silly after that. Plus, a return to Heathrow business hotels and PERHAPS the birth of the NEXT BIG THING on British radio. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk This wee...

The Great Leader is unpredictable. He will lead you hither, thither, up hill, down dale but never up a blind alley. He will ALWAYS surprise you. This week, Steve returned from his honeymoon a new and married man. There was much focus on this, as well as a live UFO investigation and one of Steve's Top 10 hilarious moments of confusion. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk This w...

For some reason, Michelle Michelle Michelle has demanded that Steve go away on something she insists on calling a "honeymoon." For that reason, Steve is absent this week, but the IBS team understands that he will return next week. Until then, a disturbing update on Silver Lightning, much discussion on the Anglesey Panic and a dog doing a wee PERILOUSLY close to The Great Leader. Please send your l...

The Great Leader is so powerful. He has such influence. That aside, however, he is an odd man. He was an odd boy too and this is only proven further today. Meanwhile, Steve pontificates on the Dartford Crossing and how often Queen Elizabeth II might have visited it and there's a paranormal update from Anglesey. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk This week's podcast is dedicat...

As the final moments before his wedding tick by, Steve considers ways to save a bit of money. Meanwhile, it's rare that The Great Leader's subordinates will question, or mock him... But sometimes it happens and the consequences are shocking. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk This week's podcast is dedicated to Louise. Thank you.

It's Prime Minister Eve! Who's excited?! However you're spending it, just try to get an early night and don't overdo it. This week, Steve kept his birthday a secret, to see if anybody noticed. Find out what happened. Plus, The Great Leader had a currywurst this week, so you know it's been a a good one. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk This week's podcast is dedicated to THE...

The energy was all over the place today. At times it was frivolous and others, entirely absent. The Great Leader maintained control throughout, but there was no doubt about the energy. Steve couldn't settle himself down before the game last night, so he played on his yoga mat for a bit. Meanwhile, The Great Leader recalls the time he inconvenienced Stephen Merchant. Please send your listener comme...

There was huge excitement inside and specifically above the studio today. HUGE excitement. The Great Leader contained it with ease, though, as you'd expect. As The IBS grow closer to Steve's nuptials, there is much business to attend to, like what his wife's name will be. Plus, what should you say if a friend says "I love you" and are you watching the game tonight? Please send your listener commen...

If you're reading this and you're trying to gain some insight into this episode, think... Would The Great Leader want you going in, armed with prior knowledge? Well... It might not hurt. This episode will challenge what you think about novelty t-shirts and confound your expectations of what somebody might do if they visited somewhere called "Zip World". The Great Leader will give you most precious...

You can say what you like, but there are no flies on Steve. He gets it. But does he get it in the same way that The Great Leader gets it? No. No, he doesn't. The Great Leader gets it and if anybody sits in His seats... THEY get it. Got it? All of that (whatever it means), plus, opera, Got Got Need and some hand signals.

Scottish football fans were thrilled as they woke up this morning, but it fell to Danny Wallace, The Great Leader to deliver some very unfortunate news. On a lighter note, there were some brilliant deals to snap up in "What's Your Deal?" and Steve enjoyed an evening of culture, which he was more than happy to tell everyone about. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk This week's...

The Important Broadcast bid farewell to it's radio neighbours today, with Ed Gamble & Matthew Crosby departing Radio X. Go well, chaps. Once that was taken care of, it was back to business, including MORE stag-do's for Steve, an unfortunate school visit for The Great Leader and a welcome return for Dinner Winner.

Steve's wedding continues to hove into view and he's been on a stag do, so what happened? The Great Leader wasn't invited, that's for sure. No matter, because he was far too busy with much higher-minded matters. Plus, three dedications (see below) and a deep-dive into the historical accuracy of The Flintstones. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk This week's podcast is dedicat...

You might think it unusual for The Great Leader, to call the shots at Steve's wedding, but he's darn well going to. Steve has moved forwards with some plans, but he'll have to see whether Danny agrees. Plus, AI being used by EVERY company on Earth, a library-based life hack and a troubling toothbrush tale. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk This week's podcast is dedicated to...

This Broadcast takes many twists and many turns. Monster Trucks, Cannes Film Festival, Christian values. All sorts. The Great Leader wishes only to broaden your minds. Let him. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk This week's podcast is dedicated to Katie & Sam. Thank you.

The Great Leader travels many hours to impart his words to you. Just stop. Give him your attention. LISTEN. This week, he attempted humour in his local WhatsApp group and it may not have been understood. Meanwhile, Steve describes an apparently indescribable kitchen implement and makes an excellent joke in good company.

The Great Leader doesn't have 'good' or 'bad' shows. The Great Leader just has shows... Magnificent, era-defining, colossal shows. However, The Great Leader IS working with mortals and those mortals will make mistakes. They are human. It is an insult to Him, but they are only human. Steve is only human and that's why he gets so angry about his little car getting dented. Plus, cable aggression, sca...

London's streets filled with running dorks today and that is something The Great Leader finds very troubling. Steve on the other hand, is full of joy and peace, because it turns out he's making quite a splash on the yoga scene. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk This week's podcast is dedicated to Yvonne. Thank you.

It's a shame to have to write it, but Dinner Winner was once more dragged into the realms of controversy. You'll already know who is responsible. The Great Leader had a 'busy week' this week. That meant he'd been using his printer a lot. Plus, a broken iPad, some money making tips and Donald Trump... A TIME TRAVELLER?!
