Danny Wallace's Important Broadcast

It's been nice chatting to old friends lately - so this week the IBS welcomed another! Comedian, actor, instructor and football manager Bilal Zafar was on the line to talk about impersonating right-wingers on Twitter and his appearance in what he described as "the biggest film of the year". As well as all that - there was a pummelling in Dinner Winner and the launch of a political campaign! Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk Thank you.

As The Great Leader once again beamed his words from an isolation basement in Suffolk, they were heard clearly and they were heard well. Many things were learned about Japan this week, thanks to Paul Hollywood (54). The IBS were also joined by an excellent guest in the shape of Ricky Gervais! Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk Thank you.

It's another elongated episode this week - because the IBS figures that you've probably got time for that. In this module, learn of the retirement party in a jet fighter, find out if Steve's been washing his hair and learn oh so many things about Paul Hollywood. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk Thank you.

It's a bumper pack, fun-sized, party-mode episode this week. No particular reason... Perhaps The Great Leader just had a lot to say. The IBS also check in with author John Niven to talk about his new book and a bin that he bought! Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk Thank you.

With the IBS fully adjusted to The Great Leader's physical absence - let us all thank goodness for his continued audio presence. This week, a fire in a bin caused upset in a community WhatsApp group, Steve has been out in "the exercise yard" and some oranges spoil the day for a young Wallace. There's also a cracking Dinner Winner and some passable facts in Tell Me Something I Don't Know! Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk Thank you.

The Important Broadcast has taken necessary measures to ensure that your listening experience is not hampered by world events. The Great Leader is broadcasting whilst safely enclosed in the comfort of his own home so everyone just CALM DOWN. On this technologically splendid edition, find out the latest Paul Hollywood update (it's a big one), compare notes on self-isolation and marvel at Steve's attempt to become the nation's Home Economics teacher. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk Thank you.

The Important Broadcast offers you a bit of silly fun at this uncertain and unusual time. Hit play, make a cup of tea and have a little sit whilst the IBS say daft things about each other. This week, expect an "owl" in the studio, a return to the Top 10 Mums chart and a bit of behind the back chat. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk Thank you.

The second helping of the weekend! Find out what happened when Danny took Steve to a hotel, catch up with "What've You Done This Time" and after all that, let's talk about burger names, ok? Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk Thank you.

It was a double dose of Danny this weekend. On this episode, expect a return of beloved features, Know-Biz and Angry Nerds! There's also a bit of small talk, Steve finds himself and a lot of blokes, in a lot of vans are trying to sell you stuff. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk Thank you.

This week, The Great Leader met (a statue of) a heroic figure of British cinema, Steve outlined his dream job and actor Anthony Head said "yes, and". There's also a fact about Kit-Kats. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk Thank you.

This week, The IBS celebrate the 54th birthday of the one man who has contributed so much to the show, presumably without knowing: Paul John Hollywood. Aside from this gigantic occasion - there was a seismic Dinner Winner, some excellent facts in Tell Me Something I Don't Know and a bit of Nectar chat as well. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk Thank you.

When you think about it, how many times has "the adult shop on the A12" been mentioned on this podcast? A LOT. Today is no different - it's mentioned even more. There's also a brilliant Wengler-Rules Dinner Winner, some riveting facts for Eleanor's 5th Birthday in Tell Me Something I Don't Know - plus CATCH THE FISH (sort of). Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk Thank you.

There's no point in glossing over it. It's a tense one this week and The Great Leader punishes the team for their poor choice of words. There's also a fact about elephant appendages and perhaps the birth of a whole new feature! Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk Thank you.

On a very blustery Sunday, The Great Leader still managed to navigate his way to the studio and bring you a darn good show. Steve's transformation into fabulous middle aged femininity continues and the squad reflect upon a rather surprising TV appearance. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk Thank you.

This week, your Great Leader remarks upon the anatomy of the program's producer. Then Steve joins in. After that it all gets a little graphic. Aside from this you can look forward to yet another Dinner Winner controversy and a bottomless brunch! Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk Thank you.

The Great Leader hauled himself from his sick bed this week, with commitment akin to a brave soldier of broadcasting. This module offers an update on Steve's lumpy hand and a belated thank you following THAT £50 donation. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk Thank you.

Steve brought his A-Game this week. So much so that at one point he declared himself the star of the show. Bit much. Get ready for dog dates, loyalty point theft, a flat tyre and a dose of thanklessness. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk Thank you.
