Danny Wallace's Important Broadcast

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. Prepare for some harrowing insights into Steve's fact-finding mission in France, some offerings (or absence of), some poetry and some (French) parking. Just the way you like it.

Steve has been dispatched on a fact-finding mission this week, though nobody can remember where. He'll surely return for the BIG 400th MODULE next week. If you'd like to be part of the "Don't call us, we'll call you" special podcast next week, do send your emails in to Danny@radiox.co.uk, with the subject of your choice and your number.

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

Danny Wallace, your Great Leader has time-slipped. Don’t for a second try telling him he hasn’t, because he won’t like it. He is a man of his own will and wishes… That is unless he has an evening at home alone with his cat and dog, because in that case, they are firmly in charge. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.ukThis week’s podcast is dedicated to Sam.Thank you.

Another week, another fact-finding mission. But how successful was it? Only Steve has the answer.

All listener thoughts, feelings and especially musings are encouraged by The Great Leader, but this week, one listener took it further... Too far, some would argue.

Plus, a poorly laptop, grey hair and the tables turn in "Got, Got, Need"...Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.ukThis week’s podcast is dedicated to Ray Boyle.Thank you.

It is no accident that The Important Broadcast goes a bit left field sometimes. It's entirely by design. Please see this episode as an example of this. Hydrating dogs by hand, giant rollerball pens and a chicken sandwich for dinner. Go.Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.ukThis week’s podcast is dedicated to Lawrence & Alistair Minton.Thank you.
