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.

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.ukThis week's podcast is dedicated to Laura. Thank you.

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.ukThis week's podcast is dedicated to Helen. Thank you.

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.

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.ukThis week's podcast is dedicated to Elly & Jago.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.ukThis week’s podcast is dedicated to Nanci , Morgan, Karley & Gillian.Thank you.

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.ukThis 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.ukThis 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.

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 podcast. Isn't it mad that it can even happen? Let alone how often it happens. It's like calling something "The Horse Show" and letting people buy tickets, only to discover there aren't any horses. This week, the "What's Your Deal" segment that should have been included last week, is now available for your enjoyment. Just a week late. Please accept the apologies of the enormous team who work behind the scenes on The Important Broadcast. There are so many of them. Literally too many to name. It would be impossible to know whose fault it was.Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.ukThis week’s podcast is
