The Important Broadcast Module 450: Don't Say "Next"
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. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk This week's podcast is dedicated to Laura. Thank you.

The Important Broadcast Module 449: This Is How We Do It In Canada
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.

The Important Broadcast Module 448: 4 Minute Ovation
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. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk This week's podcast is dedicated to Tony (48). Thank you.

The Important Broadcast Module 447: Retail Park Roulette
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. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk This week's podcast is dedicated to Alfie. Thank you.

The Important Broadcast Module 446: Steve Is In Decline
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. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk This week's podcast is dedicated to Kiera. Thank you.

The Important Broadcast Module 445: Please Stand Closer To The Edge
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.

The Important Broadcast Module 444: Burgers, Burgers
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. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk This week's podcast is dedicated to Lynn's bloke. Thank you.

The Important Broadcast Module 443: Why Do Time Travellers Not Take Travel Essentials?
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. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk This week's podcast is dedicated to The Nameless 16 Year Old, of Ian's. Thank you.

The Important Broadcast Module 440: Long Jumps On A Yoga Mat
The energy was all over the place today. At times it was frivolous and others, entirely absent. The Great Leader maintained control throughout, but there was no doubt about the energy. Steve couldn't settle himself down before the game last night, so he played on his yoga mat for a bit. Meanwhile, The Great Leader recalls the time he inconvenienced Stephen Merchant. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk This week's podcast is dedicated to Phil. Thank you.

There was huge excitement inside and specifically above the studio today. HUGE excitement. The Great Leader contained it with ease, though, as you'd expect.

Plus, what should you say if a friend says "I love you" and are you watching the game tonight? Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk This week's podcast is dedicated to Mick.

The Important Broadcast Module 438: Somewhat Too Hot
If you're reading this and you're trying to gain some insight into this episode, think... Would The Great Leader want you going in, armed with prior knowledge? Well... It might not hurt. This episode will challenge what you think about novelty t-shirts and confound your expectations of what somebody might do if they visited somewhere called "Zip World". The Great Leader will give you most precious look into how he answers his children's questions and a YouGov survey might just have hit the nail on the head.

The Important Broadcast Module 437: The Toothbrush THINKS It's Still Brushing
You can say what you like, but there are no flies on Steve. He gets it. But does he get it in the same way that The Great Leader gets it? No. No, he doesn't. The Great Leader gets it and if anybody sits in His seats... THEY get it. Got it? All of that (whatever it means), plus, opera, Got Got Need and some hand signals.

The Important Broadcast Module 436: Scaly Reptilian Creatures
Scottish football fans were thrilled as they woke up this morning, but it fell to Danny Wallace, The Great Leader to deliver some very unfortunate news.
