Danny Wallace's Important Broadcast

A shop owner was lucky enough to welcome The Great Leader into their emporium this week. The Great Leader did not disappoint them and made a grand purchase. Meanwhile, Steve watched a film. He'll tell you about it, though he won't tell you when it was made, who was in it, or who actually made it. Par for the course.

It would be pointless to suggest that The Great Leader was 'starting 2026 as he means to go on.' Everything He does happens precisely when and because He means it to. That said, 2026 began with great intention. An epic seasonal trip to Switzerland from The Great Leader and a raft of predictions for the year ahead, from Steve.

It's a funny time of year isn't it?! Hahahahaha, ok, see you later! In the valley 'twixt Christmas and New Year, The IBS assemble to bring you your usual dose. Take it nicely please. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk This week's podcast is dedicated to the unnamed baby! Thank you.

There's no point in beating around the bush. The final Sunday before Christmas means only one thing... It's the Dinner Winner Grand Final. Who will end the year as reigning champion? Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk This week's podcast is dedicated to Kevin. Thank you.

The Great Leader knows that Christmas is approaching and whilst he will observe that fact, he doesn't want it to distract you. Do not let it distract you. This week, Steve has been to Berlin (again) and there's the small business of the Dinner Winner Semi-Final of 2025. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk This week's podcast is dedicated to Graham. Thank you.

Steve's body has endured many things over 35 years, but this week, it underwent a comprehensive test, which was carried out (for reasons which aren't completely clear) to determine his biological age. Whilst The Great Leader didn't explicitly sign off on this, he was content for the results to be delivered on the radio, to the nation. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk This w...

Despite the serious and sober nature of The Important Broadcast, there was an almost playful mood this week and many games took place as a result... "What's Your Deal", "Got, Got, Need", "Steve vs. Michelle" & "Dinner Winner" all had a run out. How fun. Plus, an almost unbelievable film from Peter Andre and some discarded paint. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk This wee...

Following The Great Leader's big day, he was more than happy to share with us all the offerings which were made in his name. The list was captivating. Meanwhile, Steve took delivery of something in a large box, which he unpacked and got into. Of course he did. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk This week's podcast is dedicated to David Talbot. Thank you.

Following the most recent Module, The Great Leader discovered something unfortunate.

The Great Leader can choose to broadcast from a different studio at a moments notice, but it must not distract you. Not one bit. From his tiny studio, He will direct you upon how to celebrate His day and lecture you on FAILURE. Plus, a big purchase for Steve and some gifts! Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk This week's podcast is dedicated to Elly & Jago. Thank you.

Steve dreamt about fishing with The Great Leader this week, which opened up questions about their spiritual connection. Plus, Steve welcomes us to Culture Corner, and Dinner Winner was a total disaster. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk This week's podcast is dedicated to Jodie. Thank you.

In 2021 a film came out. It was called "Lamb." Have you seen it? Steve has. He's going to tell you all about it, in harrowing detail. Plus, 'episodics' and whether they're enjoyable and a Halloween special 'Explain That'. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk This week’s podcast is dedicated to Nathan. Thank you.

When The Great Leader gets a bee in his bonnet, that's it. Nothing else matters. This week, nothing else matters aside from checking your bulbs. Besides that, (and there's not a great deal besides) there are crisps, facts and and awkward drinks invite for Steve. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk This week’s podcast is dedicated to Nanci , Morgan, Karley & Gillian. T...

There’s almost nothing The Great Leader can’t do… Almost. One thing he can’t do, is formulate sentences the way Yoda would, but that’s ok. This week, you can expect so much from this podcast: Cucamelons, DIY, sauce, slang and crisps. Thank you, Maria.  Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk This week’s podcast is dedicated to Stephanie. Thank you.

The Great Leader is simply stating facts this week. He's saying what a lot of people have been saying and he is just making a point. Plus, a delightful conversation with friend of the show; Robert Popper and a mysterious tale of shoes gone walkabout, from Steve. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk This week’s podcast is dedicated to Peter. Thank you.

Look, any fool can do a phone-in show on the radio. It takes a real leader to reverse the phone lines and call the listener. That's exactly what happened in this special edition podcast. The temperature of the nation has been taken and the results are encouraging. Enjoy.

400 Modules. What a milestone, eh? Or is it? Should it be celebrated? He will decide. Prepare for some harrowing insights into Steve's fact-finding mission in France, some offerings (or absence of), some poetry and some (French) parking. Just the way you like it. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk This week’s podcast is dedicated to Chris. Thank you.

Steve has been dispatched on a fact-finding mission this week, though nobody can remember where. He'll surely return for the BIG 400th MODULE next week. If you'd like to be part of the "Don't call us, we'll call you" special podcast next week, do send your emails in to Danny@radiox.co.uk, with the subject of your choice and your number. Back to this week though... Expect a naughty cat, ID cards, B...

The last time The Great Leader permitted a guest into The Important Broadcast arena, it was October 2020. This week, he flung open the doors once more, to welcome podcaster, author and very nice man, Andy McGrillen. Plus, how big are giraffes, really? Still reading this blurb? Fair play. Last week, the title and blurb made reference to a part of the programme that was completely missed out of the...

We've all missed "What's Your Deal?" but obviously not enough to remember what it was actually called. No matter, it returns today! Plus, THE Flower Boy, some well-wishing emails for Steve and a big leap forward on wedding planning. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk This week’s podcast is dedicated to Gabrielle. Thank you.

The Great Leader had almost recovered from Hassle's fresh challenges, but this week, Steve is landing him with a BIG problem to sort. Plus, bad translation, Swiss chocolate & the return of the Thermomix. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk This week’s podcast is dedicated to Gabby, Laurie's 10 Year Old Brother, Tabitha, George & Becky. Thank you.

Despite a pitch with no hitch, The Great Leader's camping trips are cursed... how else could you explain a mist of Guinness? Steve too had an eventful week, as not only did he have a run in with a man in uniform but he also got into a disagreement with his good lady over a bag of crisps. Plus, it was finally revealed what the acronym FUN stands for. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radi...

It feels like we all waited ages for Steve to watch Jaws 3-D, but now he's wasted no time whatsoever in watching Jaws 4! His detailed review is contained within. Plus, The Great Leader talks about eggs and never, ever stops. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk This week’s podcast is dedicated to Nicholas (Nick). Thank you.

Danny Wallace, your Great Leader has time-slipped. Don’t for a second try telling him he hasn’t, because he won’t like it. He is a man of his own will and wishes… That is unless he has an evening at home alone with his cat and dog, because in that case, they are firmly in charge.  Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk This week’s podcast is dedicated to Sam. Thank you.

Another week, another fact-finding mission. But how successful was it? Only Steve has the answer. Plus, the most up to date film reviews, like Ice Cube's "War of The Worlds" vehicle and the 1983 hit, Jaws 3-D.
