What Most People Think with Geoff Norcott
Geoff Norcott
In an overwhelmingly Lefty comedic landscape, right-leaning stand-up Geoff Norcott is a rare beast. In WMPT he gets to the heart of what ordinary people think about social and political issues. Whatever the contentious subject – he’ll be honest and blunt, but without being a dick. Mostly. Guests come from across the social and political divide, including, Romesh Ranganathan, Jonathan Pie, Katherine Ryan, Andrew Doyle, David Baddiel, Konstantin Kisin, Owen Jones and many more. Geoff has appeared on Live at the Apollo, Backstage with Katherine Ryan, Would I lie to You? Have I Got News For You? The Last Leg, Mash Report, Question Time, Mock the Week and pops up frequently on UK political debate programmes. Geoff's book 'Where Did I Go Right?' came out in 2021 and top the political comedy best-seller list on multiple occasions. Geoff also won an operational medal for his five tours performing to British troops in Afghanistan. "One of our most refreshingly funny comedians of any stripe." - Sunday Times "A Right laugh." - The Guardian*

211: EP 211 - Starmer Chameleon with IAN STONE
This is such a funny episode. Co-host Ian Stone was on great form. Despite being a centre-left guy, he's not too fond of Mr Starmer. I also launch a defence for Tories earning big money from second jobs, whilst we try to talk about the Lionesses without saying anything patronising.

I'm on holiday this week, so I pre-recorded a fascinating chat with advertising guru Paul Burke.

209: EP 209 - Post election shakedown with MATT FORDE
Delighted to have Matt Forde co-hosting this week. After some very old sounding chat about recent gigs we've been to, I pick Matt's considerable political brain over last week's by election results. He's very forthright about why he thinks Labour are on the right track and Starmer is doing a good job. Well worth a listen.
