Sometimes, the IBS emerge from your device strong, warmed up and at the top of their game. However, don't you think it would be unfair of you to expect that EVERY time? Surely you have to accept that Steve is human and sometimes, just sometimes, he might need the first 30 minutes of the show to warm up. Is that not ok!? Not to worry, because once he'd warmed up, it all fell into place. Toothbrushes, hair, team-building exercises and almost everything in between, plus a new Radio X directive for The Great Leader to try out.

Thank you.

Steve has a lot to unload this week. Luckily, The Great Leader bears the weight of a thousand men, so it is no challenge. Firstly, there are Steve's international piano lessons. Then, there's the issue of how many times he might have to go and see 'the new Nolan.' The Great Leader simply listens and advises better than any wiseman ever could. He is flawless.

This week's podcast is dedicated to Em (Emily).

Thank you.

When The Great Leader asks "who else is doing this on the radio?" it means he's about to do something that, quite literally, nobody else would dare to do on the radio. Such is his courage. Steve, to his credit, will back The Great Leader through all of this and for that he, too, should be commended. This week there are conversations which include milk, sitcoms and Father Christmas. Enjoy.

This week's podcast is dedicated to Tony (48).

Thank you.

The Great Leader has given it a huge amount of thought and has decided that 'Retail Roulette' (an idea that the IBS half-heartedly tried out last week) could, in theory, potentially, in the right market conditions, become a semi-regular feature, depending on many factors... So that's exciting. Plus, Steve has been chatting to his bin, so there's a lot to unpack there.

This week's podcast is dedicated to Alfie.

Thank you.

Most British people have spent all summer talking about the weather and The Great Leader reflects that beautifully, in todays programme. Then Steve continues to talk about the weather and if anything it all gets silly after that. Plus, a return to Heathrow business hotels and PERHAPS the birth of the NEXT BIG THING on British radio.

Thank you.

The Great Leader is unpredictable. He will lead you hither, thither, up hill, down dale but never up a blind alley. He will ALWAYS surprise you. This week, Steve returned from his honeymoon a new and married man. There was much focus on this, as well as a live UFO investigation and one of Steve's Top 10 hilarious moments of confusion.

This week's podcast is dedicated to Lisa Evans.

Thank you.

For some reason, Michelle Michelle Michelle has demanded that Steve go away on something she insists on calling a "honeymoon." For that reason, Steve is absent this week, but the IBS team understands that he will return next week. Until then, a disturbing update on Silver Lightning, much discussion on the Anglesey Panic and a dog doing a wee PERILOUSLY close to The Great Leader.

This week's podcast is dedicated to Lynn's bloke.

Thank you.

The Great Leader is so powerful. He has such influence. That aside, however, he is an odd man. He was an odd boy too and this is only proven further today. Meanwhile, Steve pontificates on the Dartford Crossing and how often Queen Elizabeth II might have visited it and there's a paranormal update from Anglesey.

This week's podcast is dedicated to The Nameless 16 Year Old, of Ian's.

Thank you.

As the final moments before his wedding tick by, Steve considers ways to save a bit of money. Meanwhile, it's rare that The Great Leader's subordinates will question, or mock him... But sometimes it happens and the consequences are shocking.

Thank you.

It's Prime Minister Eve! Who's excited?! However you're spending it, just try to get an early night and don't overdo it. This week, Steve kept his birthday a secret, to see if anybody noticed. Find out what happened. Plus, The Great Leader had a currywurst this week, so you know it's been a a good one.

This week's podcast is dedicated to THE Steve Ferdinando. He's 5oz of lovely, 3 tablespoons of silly, 4 fl oz of fun and a pinch of gorgeous. Season to taste.

Thank you.
