Danny Wallace's Important Broadcast

There was an awful lot to discuss following the fact-finding mission to Monster Jam yesterday. Plus, is The Leader's boiler FINALLY fixed, can only peacocks be trusted and why on earth was Steve in the nude?!

The Great Leader asks that you give yourself to The Broadcast. Surrender yourself completely and let it envelope you. This week, Steve's been to an awards ceremony and we find out whether or not the Wallace household has a working boiler yet...

There you go folks. It finally happened. If you've grown tired of the wedding chat in the last few years, it ends here! The Great Leader returned from the bailiwick of Jersey and Steve stumbled back from Croatia to perform The Broadcast. There are tales of embarrassment, inconvenience and love, as well as boilers, jubilation and Jason Manford! Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk This weeks podcast is for Mary. Thank you.

After talking about it for 3 whole years, that wedding you're tired of hearing about has finally come around. That means there's all sorts to get through, including coach rides, speeches, dinner and plenty of mirth. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk This weeks podcast is for Joe, but not just the producer... Anyone called Joe. Thank you.

As The Great Leader continues to struggle in his hot-waterless house, he rallied to broadcast nonetheless. This week brings you wedding chat (it'll end soon!), supernatural intrigue, bear costumes, may bugs and storks.

The Important Broadcast absolutely sang this week. It sang with the promise of a story long told and packed plenty more besides: Surprise, education, mystery and competition. It was extraordinary, as ever. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk This weeks podcast is for Senior Listener James Beckley Thank you.

Screw your eyes up tight, clench your fists and don't make a sound..... Now LISTEN! The Great Leader was back on patrol this week, whilst Steve contended with yet MORE travel issues. There was a smattering of small talk, a chant in a lift and a lot of emails with people's names in them.... Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk This weeks podcast is for New Zealand Joe. Thank you.

You'll all be pleased to know that Steve made it back from Brazil safely and in good form; with a light tan and a new salmon pink shirt. The Great Leader continues to take issue with the avian community, we hear the origin story of Timothy Tickets and Dinner Winner triumphantly returns! Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk This weeks podcast is for Tony. Thank you.

The Broadcast returns... Not at full strength mind you. With Steve in Brazil, it fell to the Leader to shoulder the burden; which he did with ease and grace, of course. There's an old man and a hot tub, an old woman and a swimming pool and there's an aviation focused trip to Barcelona. Get in!

Trouble downloading? Oops. Well it's death, isn't it? Before The I.B.S wave a tearful farewell to Steve (don't worry, he's only going on holiday), they must step up to the plate and fill it with content. There are some gags to be rammed, facts to be told and The Great Leader has changed the way he eats sandwiches. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk This weeks podcast is for Patrick. Thank you.

The Great Leader found it necessary to bed down in his fortress today. He did not bother himself with the hustle and bustle of London, but instead, descended to his basement to make his pronouncements there. Nonetheless, his presence was felt worldwide and the people did learn and fawn about him. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk This weeks podcast is for Harry. Thank you.

As is the case every year, The I.B.S wishes all the Mums a top day and extends thoughts to those whose Mums are no longer with them. Of course, the tradition is that The Top 10 Mums chart is announced - that will ALWAYS be the case and besides that, there's so much more! The Great Leader went to the pub for a sunny lunch, Steve walked on a red carpet (but got it wrong) and we were all invited on a mind-trip into The Dannyverse.

The hangover pendulum swung this week, but who did it knock over this time?! The Great Leader was in very good spirits and at one stage, even opened the floor to questions, without the usual pre-written, 72 hour courtesy clause. Plus facts, realisations and musings in spades.

You know what happens on The Important Broadcast when someone has an idea for a new game.... It gets bloomin' well tested out. This week, it's a somewhat derivative word game that'll have you shouting the answer into your headphones. There are also member(s) of the team who are very worse for wear and a brief Dinner Winner. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk This weeks podcast is for Hannah Thank you.

Two-thirds of the team were in sub-optimal condition for this particular broadcast, but The Great Leader's huge strength and immeasurable talent was more than enough to make up for it. Strap in and don't miss Steve's anecdote about buying some pillows. *NOW WITH ADDED PILLOW CONTENT* Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk This weeks podcast is for Naomi, Francesca & Ennio. Thank you.

Today's module may, or may not make you feel old, but it certainly had that effect on The Great Leader. Steve went for a run, the children paid a visit to Studio X and a very special broadcaster prepares to turn 56... Who could it be? Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk This weeks podcast is for Holly. Thank you.

We all knew it would happen... This week, Steve Ferdinando became a thief. Hands up if you saw that coming? On the other side of the coin, The Great Leader remained immaculate, even in the face of stormy destruction. You can expect French babies, broken chairs, a landlord and a few notes & corrections. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk This weeks podcast is for Paul. Thank you.

The Great Leader speaks at length today, as you can see. Subjects include LeaderFest, onesies, crisps & Dr Hook. Find out all about Steve's experience at The Brits and why todays module is dedicated to an Italian restauranteur.

**PLEASE READ** The Producer of Danny Wallace's Important Broadcast would like to clarify that in the course of today's show, he incorrectly attributed a poem about peas, to the excellent poet, Pam Ayres. Whilst Ayres' works are many and splendid, she did not write this particular ode to peas. The internet makes conflicting claims about who did write the poem. ANYWAY. This week, Steve wore his (slowly fading) mustard shirt and claimed he was like David Geffen. Don't worry about Googling him, because The Great Leader will ensure you are fully up to speed. Plus, a mysterious ticking noise in Wallace Towers and lots of talk about peas. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk This weeks podcast is for Tom & Pizza. Thank you.
