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.

Go.Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.ukThis week's podcast is dedicated to Lawrence & Alistair Minton.Thank you.

What you're looking at is the very first "quad-ded" Important Broadcast Podcast. What does that mean? You'll obviously need to listen to find out. There's news (though nothing particularly informative) from the stag-do Steve went on, there's toast and it's many forms and there's your Great Leader, beset by a malady.Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.ukThis week's podcast is dedicated to Seddington Bear, Neil Duncan, Matt, Abi & Charlotte.

Steve decided to do riddles this week... That was without consulting anybody else and with absolutely no warning. The Great Leader allowed this, which we must trust was the right thing.

Imagine a television channel entirely dedicated to one particular show from the early 2000s. It would play a loop of endless episodes, each subtly different, but still familiar enough to have droning in the background. Imagine no longer, for this is a reality enjoyed in The Great Leader's own kitchen. Why not do the same in YOUR kitchen?! Plus, Steve's comprehensive review of 'Wicked' and a lengthy discussion on dishwasher tablet choice.Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.ukThis week's podcast is dedicated to Ellis.Thank you.

The world is an unkind, unpredictable place.

It should be known that the emotions flag is waved in this weeks module, but it is well balanced with a story that will warm the heart, so that's good. The Great Leader is at full strength for the first Important Broadcast of 2025. He has stories of Great British beer, truck simulation and there is much talk of the need to get back to work tomorrow. Feast now, dear listener, on his words. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.ukThis week's podcast is dedicated to Miwoo.Thank you.

We all adore The Great Leader. We recognise Him and ONLY Him as our One True Broadcaster. But, have you ever given even a seconds thought to where he came from? From whence did he draw his power?

After all the build up and the Christmas parties where you didn't know anyone (or is that just Steve?), it's almost time to start peeling potatoes... Or not. If you don't like potatoes, don't bother. The Great Leader wishes for you to spend this time broadly at peace. Not completely at peace of course, but he will allow you a moment or two of quiet, solemn reflection, as long as you are reflecting upon Him and Him alone.Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.ukThis week's podcast is dedicated to Eleanore.Thank you.

The super, soaraway Radio X Important Broadcast Podcast returns, as you knew it would, for it's 356th official outing.

"How long can you leave a glass of water out?"Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.ukThis week's podcast is dedicated to Lana.Thank you.

Only very few mortals on Earth have ever lain hands on The Great Leader. To do so without express permission would be an offence, punishable by a hefty rap on the knuckles. This week, someone was given the chance to touch him for a prolonged period and he was quite uncomfortable.

TRIGGER WARNING: Today's podcast dedication contains a mention of suicide.
