Danny Wallace's Important Broadcast

The Great Leader loves you. He respects you. However, that doesn't mean he doesn't expect an awful lot from you. This week, Steve went on a team building exercise that sent people to sleep and your leader was fixated on an unusual presence in the studio.

Thank you.

Being a Senior Listener, is like being a police officer, or a bank manager. It's a position held by an upstanding member of the community, but one who knows their place. This week, two listeners took a daring leap into the unknown, as they through themselves on the mercy of The Great Leader, in the name of Senior Listenership. But were they successful?? PLUS, business hotels, stolen yogurt, chocolate and.... Is Steve hungover??

This weeks podcast is for Thomas & Lucy.

Thank you.

It was another one of those ones today... When, in the production meeting before the show, Steve says "I don't think I've really done anything this week." Then, of course, part way through the show, he comes out with "Oh yeah, I went to a horse sanctuary." Perfect. Plus, The Great Leader's holiday nemesis and a scary, snowy scene in "Explain That."

Hey listener, here's a podcast we think you'd like to listen to...

Restless Natives is a cult Scottish film from 1985 featuring two scallywags – The Clown & The Wolfman. It’s iconic. Two resourceful rascals who take on the ambitious task of holding-up tourist buses in the Highlands… They were Robin Hood, only Scottish and on the back of a motorbike.

Gordon Smart & Martin Compston are sampling that spirit - inspired by The Clown & The Wolfman - and distilling it into a podcast. They are setting themselves lofty ambitions before setting off in pursuit of tasks and goals they have absolutely no right achieving. A bit like their careers in TV, movies, newspapers and radio…

Join them as they recount some of their ridiculous scrapes and adventures from the past while they plan even more ambitious, unreachable schemes for the future. Some of them will be achieved and others will crash and burn spectacularly. They’ve got lots to talk about, lots to share with you and nothing but time.

As the film once said: “Is this the end of the story or a beginning of a legend?”

The IBS consider, for your delectation: Sparrow Hawks, fame, the supernatural, pizza, completion & scams. LITERALLY, what else could you want or need?

Thank you.

How many of you go through your weeks thinking... "I wonder what Steve Ferdinando did this week." Well this week, the answer was "foraging." Meanwhile, The Great Leader researched the lighter side of the prison system and why not take a guess on how many Kit-Kat flavours there are in Japan? IT'S LOADS.

Thank you.

The Great Leader branched out this week and blessed the patrons of Latitude Festival with his presence. The masses gathered, marvelled and at times fainted - and contrary to local reports of hot weather and dehydration, The Important Broadcast is confident that it was The Great Leader himself who provoked this. Elsewhere, Steve celebrated his birthday and a French taxi driver had a cup of coffee.

Thank you.

You may not need The Important Broadcast Squad to remind you how hot it's been of late, but a spot of small-talk on the topic never hurt anyone. The Great Leader made many pronouncements today. All of which should be noted down. Plus, Steve bought a fan and got lost on a bus.

This weeks podcast is for "all the nurses" and "Battersea Dogs & Cats Home".

Thank you.

It was a seat of the pants show today, but only because SOMEONE couldn't get their buttons right. The Great Leader remained flawless and Steve turned up and said many of the sorts of things he usually says like "I don't burn that hard" and "I have no facts."

This weeks podcast is for James.

Thank you.

As he explains in this very episode, The Great Leader doesn't encourage chanting of his name. Just remember that. This week, Steve had a public humiliation dream and a fortune cookie surprised everyone.
