The Important Broadcast Module 147: What's A Twin? 01.11.2020

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 Danny@radiox.co.uk 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.

Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk Thank you.

The Important Broadcast Module 145: Aztec Testicles (with Susie Dent) 18.10.2020

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...

The Important Broadcast Module 144: Norbert & Beep Beep 11.10.2020

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 Danny@radiox.co.uk Thank you.

The Important Broadcast Module 143: Clara Vord 04.10.2020

Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk Thank you.

The Important Broadcast Module 136: The Cattle of The Past 16.08.2020

Did you come here for some light-hearted comedy relief? Well, be prepared for something a bit heavier.

The Important Broadcast Module 134: Mum Terrors 02.08.2020

It's one heck of an episode this week.

Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk Thank you.

The Important Broadcast Module 129: Putting The Nation On A Diet 28.06.2020

Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk Thank you.

The Important Broadcast Module 127: And Other Famous Vegetables 14.06.2020

The Important Broadcast Module 125: Erotically Laced With Horseradish 31.05.2020

The Important Broadcast Module 124: The Blind Foodie! 24.05.2020

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. There was plenty of Showbiz news, obviously and The Great Leader has some hose pipe issues. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk Thank you.
