Danny Wallace's Important Broadcast

Steve decided to do riddles this week... That was without consulting anybody else and with absolutely no warning. The Great Leader allowed this, which we must trust was the right thing. Elsewhere, He pontificated upon the phenomenon of 'spontaneous combustion' and encouraged you to get a deal on an Eternal Rose. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.ukThis week’s podcast is dedicated to Steve ManleyThank you.

Imagine a television channel entirely dedicated to one particular show from the early 2000s. It would play a loop of endless episodes, each subtly different, but still familiar enough to have droning in the background. Imagine no longer, for this is a reality enjoyed in The Great Leader's own kitchen. Why not do the same in YOUR kitchen?! Plus, Steve's comprehensive review of 'Wicked' and a lengthy discussion on dishwasher tablet choice.Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.ukThis week’s podcast is dedicated to Ellis.Thank you.

The Great Leader is awash with your correspondence this week. Imagine a great, strong and wise man up to his powerful neck in letters, postcards, perfumed notes and parcels. This is how we find him, except all the correspondence is digital. Aside from your missives, He muses upon wassailing, children's parties and the nature of time itself (it's a construct). Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.ukThis week’s podcast is dedicated to LK.Thank you.

The world is an unkind, unpredictable place. The Great Leader doesn't promise you kindness, nor does he promise you predictability, but he can give you the solid golden promise of wisdom, swift judgement and the right way of doing things. This week, Steve watched another film and his thoughts may surprise you - plus, how can Jake Humphrey improve a trip to the pub with your significant other?Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.ukThis week’s podcast is dedicated to Danielle.Thank you.

It should be known that the emotions flag is waved in this weeks module, but it is well balanced with a story that will warm the heart, so that's good. The Great Leader is at full strength for the first Important Broadcast of 2025. He has stories of Great British beer, truck simulation and there is much talk of the need to get back to work tomorrow. Feast now, dear listener, on his words. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.ukThis week’s podcast is dedicated to Miwoo.Thank you.

We all adore The Great Leader. We recognise Him and ONLY Him as our One True Broadcaster. But, have you ever given even a seconds thought to where he came from? From whence did he draw his power? Hone his beautiful craft? In a special 3 part documentary contained herein, Classic FM legend and all round good egg Tim Lihoreau narrates the origin story that we've all waited so long to hear. Plus, Steve's inevitable predictions and some useless information learned across 2024 in a special Tell Me Something I Don't Know.Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.ukThis week’s podcast is dedicated to Pete.Thank you.

After all the build up and the Christmas parties where you didn't know anyone (or is that just Steve?), it's almost time to start peeling potatoes... Or not. If you don't like potatoes, don't bother. The Great Leader wishes for you to spend this time broadly at peace. Not completely at peace of course, but he will allow you a moment or two of quiet, solemn reflection, as long as you are reflecting upon Him and Him alone.Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.ukThis week’s podcast is dedicated to Eleanore.Thank you.

There's definitely something going around at the moment and it isn't just Christmas spirit. The Great Leader, however, remains in perfect condition. He prowls like a beastly wild cat, but the sort of wild cat that can construct beautiful sentences to convey his enormous thoughts. That sort. Gird your ears for an early December treat, which includes, but is not limited to, Christmas trees, cats, small talk and a the Dinner Winner Semi-Final!Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.ukThis week’s podcast is dedicated to Evil Jo.Thank you.

The super, soaraway Radio X Important Broadcast Podcast returns, as you knew it would, for it's 356th official outing. It begins with a horrific thing The Great Leader saw on his journey in, moves seamlessly into an extremely official ceremony, reveals Steve's terrible small talk performance and eventually concludes with a big question... "How long can you leave a glass of water out?"Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.ukThis week’s podcast is dedicated to Lana.Thank you.

Only very few mortals on Earth have ever lain hands on The Great Leader. To do so without express permission would be an offence, punishable by a hefty rap on the knuckles. This week, someone was given the chance to touch him for a prolonged period and he was quite uncomfortable. Meanwhile, Steve becomes confused about the difference between an 'invention' and an 'idea'.Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.ukThis week’s podcast is dedicated to The Ravioli Lawnmower, Aoife, Ruairí and Lorcan.Thank you.

Plus, Steve returns from a fact finding mission, with tales of fish and penguins. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.ukThis week’s podcast is dedicated to Jack.Thank you.

TRIGGER WARNING: Today's podcast dedication contains a mention of suicide. The Great Leader loves you: Not in the conventional sense, but in the way that a Supreme All Seeing Leader loves his people, or his cats. This week, he made a kind gesture to his darling Mother, which backfired and Steve went for a very long run. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.ukThis week’s podcast is dedicated to John.Thank you.

Steve has a bright idea this week, but it's all in the name of winding up other members of the IBS. At the other end of the long, banquet-like broadcast table, sits The Great Leader, like a powerful beast of knowledge, his gaze fixed upon you and his words burning the air around your little tiny head. Listen to him.Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.ukThis week’s podcast is dedicated to Paul.Thank you.

The Great Leader focuses his captivating gaze upon the supernatural this week. Spooky goings on need to be understood and he has made that his mission.

It's even better the next day...Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.ukThis week’s podcast is dedicated to Andrew Piddington.Thank you.

Should you ever have the honour of speaking to him, be very careful what you say to The Great Leader. He remembers every word. On the other side of the desk, Steve tried his best to get a deal on a new phone. Did it work? Plus, The British Transport Police, insurance and facts about cats and dogs.

Chopping boards are a huge theme this week. It wasn't planned. It just sort of happened. Plus, John Leschen has been in touch and he's brought the goods.
