What Most People Think with Geoff Norcott

I review Labour's launch of their 'first steps' strategy to win the next election. There's some praise for Keir seeming less like a mortgage salesman, but also questions remain over how bad he is at answering questions. And of course there's still his voice, there'll always be his voice...Support the Podcast, keep it weekly & AD-FREE https://www.patreon.com/geoffnorcott?fan_landing=true Watch my new BBC DOCUMENTARY: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m001x8z5/is-university-really-worth-itBOOK TICKETS FOR MY 2023/24 TOUR  https://www.livenation.co.uk/artist-geoff-norcott-1252793 Buy my new BOOK https://www.amazon.co.uk/British-Bloke-Decoded-Everything-Explained/dp/B0BZW24B9J/ref=sr_1_1?crid=34L9QEBEW3KW7&keywords=geoff+norcott&qid=1693334284&sprefix=geoff+norcot%2Caps%2C107&sr=8-1 Watch my COMEDY SPECIAL on YouTube https://youtu.be/YaxhuZGtDLs  Learn more about your ad choices.

This week Simon Evans joins me to discuss whether Rishi's big speech was scaremongering or if it actually had some good points. I also go in pretty hard on human macademia nut Keir Starmer (there will be letters). We also discuss the Baby Reindeer controversy and if there are double standards at work because the stalker is female. The Patreon only section looks at celebs being boycotted for not 'saying enough' on Gaza. Support the Podcast, keep it weekly & AD-FREE https://www.patreon.com/geoffnorcott?fan_landing=true Watch my new BBC DOCUMENTARY: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m001x8z5/is-university-really-worth-itBOOK TICKETS FOR MY 2023/24 TOUR  https://www.livenation.co.uk/artist-geoff-norcott-1252793 Buy my new BOOK https://www.amazon.co.uk/British-Bloke-Decoded-Everything-Explained/dp/B0BZW24B9J/ref=sr_1_1?crid=34L9QEBEW3KW7&keywords=geoff+norcott&qid=1693334284&sprefix=geoff+norcot%2Caps%2C107&sr=8-1 Watch my COMEDY SPECIAL on YouTube https://youtu.be/YaxhuZGtDLs  Learn more about your ad choices.

This week I catch up on all the fallout from the local elections which seemed to get worse for the Tories the longer things went. I discuss whether Andy Street was harshly dealt with and if the Greens expected their victorious candidate in Leeds to say 'Allahu Akbar'. We also look at Bud Light rowing back from social justice issues and wonder if it's part of a wider trend.Support the Podcast, keep it weekly & AD-FREE https://www.patreon.com/geoffnorcott?fan_landing=true Watch my new BBC DOCUMENTARY: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m001x8z5/is-university-really-worth-itBOOK TICKETS FOR MY 2023/24 TOUR  https://www.livenation.co.uk/artist-geoff-norcott-1252793 Buy my new BOOK https://www.amazon.co.uk/British-Bloke-Decoded-Everything-Explained/dp/B0BZW24B9J/ref=sr_1_1?crid=34L9QEBEW3KW7&keywords=geoff+norcott&qid=1693334284&sprefix=geoff+norcot%2Caps%2C107&sr=8-1 Watch my COMEDY SPECIAL on YouTube https://youtu.be/YaxhuZGtDLs  Learn more about your ad choices.

Despite a b*stard journey back from Guernsey I managed to squeeze this out. I talk about the Tories getting battered at council level, doing not so badly with the mayoral votes and whether I voted Tory for the first time since 2019.... Learn more about your ad choices.

In this huge political week it was great to get Iain back on the show to talk about the upcoming local and mayoral elections & also reflect on the HUMbelievable downfall of Humza. We also speculate on what form a Penny Mordaunt leadership bid would take, and conclude it would involve a cape and a sword. Support the Podcast, keep it weekly & AD-FREE https://www.patreon.com/geoffnorcott?fan_landing=true Watch my new BBC DOCUMENTARY: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m001x8z5/is-university-really-worth-itBOOK TICKETS FOR MY 2023/24 TOUR  https://www.livenation.co.uk/artist-geoff-norcott-1252793 Buy my new BOOK https://www.amazon.co.uk/British-Bloke-Decoded-Everything-Explained/dp/B0BZW24B9J/ref=sr_1_1?crid=34L9QEBEW3KW7&keywords=geoff+norcott&qid=1693334284&sprefix=geoff+norcot%2Caps%2C107&sr=8-1 Watch my COMEDY SPECIAL on YouTube https://youtu.be/YaxhuZGtDLs  Learn more about your ad choices.

This week Seann Walsh returns for a very eclectic show. We discuss Liz Truss and her theory about running restaurants, the prospect of World War 3 and my belief that Seann is within his rights to look down his nose at modern cancel culture victims. There's also one of my favourite ever moments as Seann starts an observation about plastic bottles which he doesn't get to finish....Watch Seann's comedy special 'Seann Wlash: Is Dead, Happy Now?': https://youtu.be/IeW-q8pLTKg?si=x64QgyE1ItcEfARzSupport the Podcast, keep it weekly & AD-FREE https://www.patreon.com/geoffnorcott?fan_landing=true Watch my new BBC DOCUMENTARY: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m001x8z5/is-university-really-worth-itBOOK TICKETS FOR MY 2023/24 TOUR  https://www.livenation.co.uk/artist-geoff-norcott-1252793 Buy my new BOOK https://www.amazon.co.uk/British-Bloke-Decoded-Everything-Explained/dp/B0BZW24B9J/ref=sr_1_1?crid=34L9QEBEW3KW7&keywords=geoff+norcott&qid=1693334284&sprefix=geoff+norcot%2Caps%2C107&sr=8-1 Watch my COMEDY SPECIAL on YouTube https://youtu.be/YaxhuZGtDLs  Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode I try to give a very normal bloke response to the findings of the Cass Report. I won't lie, it's a heavy subject, so luckily there was also a fun YouGov survey this week asking the public silly questions about Sunak and Starmer which I get stuck into. I also reveal one of the most childish things I've ever done. Support the Podcast, keep it weekly & AD-FREE https://www.patreon.com/geoffnorcott?fan_landing=true Watch my new BBC DOCUMENTARY: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m001x8z5/is-university-really-worth-itBOOK TICKETS FOR MY 2023/24 TOUR  https://www.livenation.co.uk/artist-geoff-norcott-1252793 Buy my new BOOK https://www.amazon.co.uk/British-Bloke-Decoded-Everything-Explained/dp/B0BZW24B9J/ref=sr_1_1?crid=34L9QEBEW3KW7&keywords=geoff+norcott&qid=1693334284&sprefix=geoff+norcot%2Caps%2C107&sr=8-1 Watch my COMEDY SPECIAL on YouTube https://youtu.be/YaxhuZGtDLs  Learn more about your ad choices.

This week I talk to broadcaster and write Stig Abell about politics and murder. Stig presents a breakfast show and gives on the background on politicians who say stupid things or - indeed - nothing at all. Then it's on to murder. Stig is a crime novelist and I challenge him to justify why it's ok to be entertained by people being killed. Get a copy of Stig's book, 'Death in a Lonely Place', here: https://harpercollins.co.uk/products/death-in-a-lonely-place-jake-jackson-book-2-stig-abell?variant=40311010820174Support the Podcast, keep it weekly & AD-FREE https://www.patreon.com/geoffnorcott?fan_landing=true Watch my new BBC DOCUMENTARY: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m001x8z5/is-university-really-worth-itBOOK TICKETS FOR MY 2023/24 TOUR  https://www.livenation.co.uk/artist-geoff-norcott-1252793 Buy my new BOOK https://www.amazon.co.uk/British-Bloke-Decoded-Everything-Explained/dp/B0BZW24B9J/ref=sr_1_1?crid=34L9QEBEW3KW7&keywords=geoff+norcott&qid=1693334284&sprefix=geoff+norcot%2Caps%2C107&sr=8-1 Watch my COMEDY SPECIAL on YouTube https://youtu.be/YaxhuZGtDLs  Learn more about your ad choices.
