You know the man on the Pringles tins, right??? Get ready to have that mystery solved by Steve. There's the annual "ready for Christmas?" small talk (slowly becoming a December tradition) and the Champion of Champions show down in Dinner Winner too. Plus, some strange goings on in Explain That and PRESENTS for everyone, but not FROM everyone. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk Thank you.

With the season of yule upon us all, the Important Broadcast Squad rocked up for the weekly knock about.

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

It's important that you're prepared before pressing play today, because there's an awful lot to take in. Are you ready? Good. This week, most of the IBS have been sent gifts, but not everyone is happy. There's also a fair bit of supernatural stuff to get your teeth into and an unashamedly Churchillian moment from the bloke at No. 10. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk Thank you.

Hi Important Broadcast listener! Radio X are releasing Season 2 of a podcast we think you’ll enjoy. That’s A First! is hosted by comedians Maisie Adam and Tom Lucy and in each episode they’re joined by a guest who reveals some interesting firsts from their life… and then gets ripped to shreds. In series 1 we heard about the first time Romesh Ranganathan soiled himself just before he was due to go in stage and series 2 promises to be just as revealing with guests such as Joel Dommett, Kiri Pritchard McLean and Chris Kamara!   This is a quick taster from Maisie & Tom. If you like it, search ‘That’s a First!’  and subscribe on Global Player or wherever you get your podcasts.

150! That's got to be a milestone RIGHT?! Well... Not especially, no, because when you consider additional episodes i.e. Compulsory Podcasts, Bonus Modules etc. the team exceeded 150 a while ago, but STILL! Here's Module 150: A Module that will teach you how many bones a snake has (it's not one) and what "turncoat" means. There's a very one-sided Dinner Winner, some vintage Know-Biz and some vaccine news too. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk Thank you.

Everyone remembered everything for this week? Sure? You've definitely remembered all the things you needed to remember about this particular week? Cool. This time the squad talk about a big bird voting scandal, Steve's Dad shouts at fireworks and there's a mystery on a UFO and Robbie Williams is there. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk Thank you.

For all the time we've all spent wondering why pizza boxes are the shape that they are, you'd have thought someone would have explained it by now, wouldn't you? Luckily, Steve Ferdinando is on hand to make it all clear for us. That's not all though! Find out who's in The Great Leader's ever-expanding "crew" and enjoy a bit of poetry too. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk Thank you.

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. You can also expect a vintage Dinner Winner, tons of "Explain That" and a bit more sharp justice in "Crime & Punishment". Plus, is Steve's name even real? Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk Thank you.

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

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 traditional Sunday programme brought a whole week of intense broadcasting to a close. Did the IBS show any signs of fatigue though? NOT A BIT OF IT. Find out about a part of Steve's life that NO ONE knew about, brace for the return of Dinner Winner and get the latest of The Great Leaders conspiracy stories. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk Thank you.

In this special, feature length episode, the team look back upon a week in the driving seat. The ups and downs, the falling out and the making up as well. Get ready for a no holds barred retrospective on what was undoubtedly a week on British radio. There's "Good News", "Mouthy Madeley", "£5 Flat Fee Fines" and so much more besides. Strap in and enjoy. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk Thank you.

Someone's got to say it haven't they? Luckily The Important Broadcast isn't scared to just SAY IT. This week, Steve has a go at some stand up he wrote a long time ago, The Great Leader asks you to "Explain That" in a new feature and the team discuss yogurts. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk Thank you.

There's an awful lot going on this week. The chance for deadlock to finally be broken in Dinner Winner, some hastily put together facts, a big old topic for a small-talk texter, a complete deconstruction of Rise of the Planet of The Apes and the small matter of Danny's work towards a vaccine. Settle in and enjoy. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk Thank you.

You can always rely on Steve Ferdinando to make you think. This week, it's no different, because just wait until you hear what he has to say about the SUN! Aside from this, The Great Leader was in excellent voice, finally retaking his place back in the studio after many months of basement-broadcasting from home. Expect another tight Dinner Winner and a few mind-boggling facts in Tell Me Something I Don't Know as well! Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk Thank you.

What on earth is a Dingwallace? You'll no doubt learn this and more in the latest Important Broadcast Podcast. Steve returned from his wet and windy camping trip this weekend, we hear some more of your crimes and The Leader's punishments, there's a classic Dinner Winner and an old friend from the past resurfaces. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk Thank you.

What a strange time eh? An odd gathering in Trafalgar Square, the absence of Steve and a radio programme that goes into detail about the host's dinners over the course of the week. You wouldn't have it any other way though, would you? Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk Thank you.
