Danny Wallace's Important Broadcast

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 Danny@radiox.co.uk 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 Danny@radiox.co.uk 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 Danny@radiox.co.uk...

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 r...

Greetings from the warm bosom of The Important Broadcast. May your days be merry or bright. At this time of year, we join together and make hard to substantiate claims about ridiculous abilities that we have.... Well Steve does anyway. Can he really identify the flavour of crisp by touch alone??? Expect Christmas facts, Christmas Dinners and the final word on the Driving Home For Christmas conundr...

Is it ever too early to start getting into the yuletide spirit? The Great Leader thinks that yes, it can be too early. Not to worry; this week's show was a fairly Christmas-heavy zone nonetheless. Expect a big mistake from Steve, the time that Christian Bale met Donald Trump, a (verified) fact about cows and a welcome return from Bill Turnbull as The Important Documentaries continue! Please send y...

The Great Leader invites listeners (senior and junior alike) onto The Broadcast with caution. He does so to appear approachable, warm and affable. This week, it was decreed that Senior Listener Ben should be allowed to spend some time experiencing The Broadcast first hand, owing to his absent-minded Mother's actions, which caused him to miss the beginning of The Broadcast. Following this, Ben and...

Greetings and Get Into the Music to you.  With a new producer at the helm while the esteemed Joe Attewell is on his island retreat, we find out how the Great Leader and his Underling Steve, cope with change. As you would you expect, Steve revolts with his own new hastily invented feature.  Plus, a deep analysis, almost bordering on spoken dissertation, of Chris Rea's travel plans for Christmas, a...

The Great Leader goes to great lengths to ensure that a toxic work environment is avoided at all costs. Steve ignores these efforts and makes it difficult for everyone. This week, you can expect some easy-to-digest “water cooler chat”, some obnoxious passengers on a train and some awards ceremony beef. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk Thank you.

The Great Leader is a skilled user of words; he knows LOADS of them. Steve has a fairly good grasp on words, but isn’t against making them up from time to time. People are different, and that’s ok. In this week’s edition, you should expect horses, a forgotten birthday, some art work (v. exciting) and a fact about Carly Simon’s Dad. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk Thank you...

How do you relax and unwind? What’s your favourite colour? What on earth is that jewellery modelled on!? Take The Important Broadcast into your life and let it settle in. The Great Leader offers you stories of dolls, Ewoks, silences & squirrels. Sit back. Relax. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk Thank you.

Following an extraction, where should a dentist deposit the tooth? It’s one of life’s many questions that are tackled with ease on The Important Broadcast. The Great Leader brings you tales of teeth and asks you if you saw the fireworks. There’s also a fact about sniffing dogs, a man on a bus and an in depth look at the origins of macaroni cheese. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox...

Ok, sure.... The Great Leader has written some books. But what about Steve Ferdinando's literary achievements? Does The Important Broadcast spend enough time celebrating those? Perhaps not. This week's instalment looks to rectify this; marvelling at Steve's facility with language and congratulating him on his free-flowing dialogue and effortless delivery. You can also expect a story about a giant...

Do you want to know what it is to be a broadcaster? How important are one’s ears as a broadcaster? This week, The Great Leader tackles horse blinders, close friends and whether or not the listener’s Mums like the show. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk Thank you. 

Standby. Sit down. Stray not from the Important Broadcast. Surrender yourself to The Great Leader and slide into something saucy. Still on the air after 40 shows and slaying it. Expect small talk, stir-frying and stacks of stories. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk Thank you. 

Get ready to hear an awful lot about a balloon that was discovered in the office. Prepare yourself for chat about 90’s screensavers, films from 1994 and where Tupac could be found alive. There's also a story about 65 naughty cats, some free* halloumi and some pancakes. The Great Leader invites you in and you will accept. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk Thank you.  *not fre...

Another week: Another wedding for Steve to attend. It was a musical show this week, with mentions of Dame Shirley Bassey, Oasis, Snow Patrol and quite a lot about Londonbeat. There was also a poem, some stolen Nintendo consoles and a man called Adonis. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk Thank you. 

Let’s not mess about. You want to know what’s in the Important Broadcast Podcast, right? There’s a raccoon, a wedding, some street gags, a trailer, a meatball story and a fact about sperm. Alright? Great. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk Thank you. 

What a disappointment it is when those around you, for seemingly no reason, decide to shock, insult and upset you. The Great Leader felt betrayed and humiliated this week, but he soon gained back any lost ground. The Important Broadcast is your primary source for all Peacock News. You all know that don’t you? Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk Thank you. 

In this week's podcast, The Great Leader promises you more bonus bits than you can shake a stick at. Now put that stick down. There's a brand new feature feauturing the wit and wisdom of Steve Ferdinando, some news about fish, a tense game of Dinner-Winner and if you're very patient, you might even find a secret recipe in the podcast.... Where on earth could it be hidden!? Please send your listene...

It was a pleasure to have Steve back in the studio this week. The Great Leader welcomed him back with warm words and a gift. A new feature was trialled, a bison was startled and “The Leicester Square Jumper” was called out for what he is. There was also a lovely little round of Tell Me Something I Don't Know and finally, everything that you need to know about the CEO of GoDaddy. Don't ever say we...

It was a multi-faceted broadcast this week. The Great Leader: Dry, warm, dignified and resplendent. Steve Ferdinando: Wet, cold, bedraggled and elsewhere. As Steve reported live from Victorious Festival in Portsmouth - the usual mix of facts, larks and a couple of jokes were all still present and correct. Expect an explosive squid, a STUNNING five-star-challenge and an ex-footballer who doesn't dr...

Join the Great Leader and Steve Ferdinando as they bring you facts, larks and lies. This week Steve was late, but don't worry - The Leader didn't let this pass without mention. There's also a squirrel, a crocodile (dead) & a tupperware box. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk Thank you.

This week, The Great Leader puts the ball in Steve's court. Steve's reaction is to say something slanderous about a friend's Dad on national radio. Good times. There's also a story from an alley way, a tiger and an email. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk Thank you.
