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*

29: EP 29 - Banter From The Bunker
Well, it was going to be a pandemic to make me up my output. In the first lockdown episode, we look at the immediate impact of recent measures, from the serious political dimensions to getting elbowed by pensioners in Iceland. We also have a lot of letters, including one from Phil which is frankly diabolical.

28: EP 28 - Going Viral
I take a keep calm & carry on view on the old Billy Ray Coronavirus. We also look at how the Tory’s Blairite budget pissed on Labour’s parade. I also reflect on some of the odd things that go with the territory of having an International Women’s Day. All that plus I throw in a few of my original Dad gags for free! (plus the worst ever idea for a game show).

27: EP 27 - Yorkshire Tea Facists!
The hard left reach peak nuttiness with the trolling of the Yorkshire Tea account. We also discuss what an abject failure the #BeKind week ended up being. I reflect on the Tyson Fury fight and how long public figures should be accountable for past misdemeanours. There's also some thoughts about the disgraceful decision to make all inclusive holidays less fun. PLUS I'VE THOUGHT OF A PLAN TO CUT BACK ON THE BLIMMIN SWEARING!

26: EP 26 - Reshuffle Kerfuffle
So I had the rug pulled by the surprise resignation of the Saj! We also talk about the Oscars and those luvvie luvvies speeches. We get it into why it might not be ok to wear off the shoulder dresses in the House of Commons and why Phillip Schofield's revelation isn't as clear cut as people in the media make out. In the letters we discuss the crucial issue of shooting pains in the batty.

25: EP 25 - (feat. Christopher Snowdon) See EU Later / Nanny State
After a decent catch up on Britain finally leaving the EU, I talk Nanny State with the one & only Christopher Snowdon. We talk vaping, smoking, drinking, gambling, taking drugs - all the good stuff really. In the letters we talk about the CEO who wanted to ban men talking about football. There's also the crucial question of which Labour Leadership candidate would be capable of putting up a tent.

24: EP 24 - A Right Royal Catch-Up
In this episode I do what the Queen couldn't and get to grips with Meghan and Harry. There's the comedy goldmine of the Manchester Grooming gang scandal. Then I lighten things up by laughing at the slapstick Labour Leadership contest. I also think I broke some sort of record for saying f**k. I just broke it again!

23: EP 23 - Mystic Geoff (Predictions for 2020)
Having been surprisingly ahead of the curve in 2019 Geoff has let it go to his head and is making some bold predictions about the coming year. He looks at Trump's chances, how Brexit will play out and who will win the donkey derby of the Labour leadership race. He also considers how the SJW's will react to the prospect of more Trump, Boris & Brexit.

22: EP 22 - Stonking Majority
Had to get a podcast out in reaction the shock but widely predicted Conservative win. We look at the fallout, and Labour's line-up of likely ladies versus Gold Blend lookalike Keir Starmer. In the letters a listener calls out my criticisms of modern football, we discuss beer fear and finish by considering Emily Thornberry's clear pugilistic advantages over Jess Phillips.

20: EP 20 - (feat. Jayde Adams) FeminHISm
After we have a quick catch up on some of the big recent political debate shows, I talk to the brilliant Jayde Adams. Jayde has a unique working class take on Feminism, so we discuss normal women's priorities, personal responsibility and quite a bit about tits. In the letters we look at gender inequality in presents and who'd win a fight between Boris Johnson and Justin Trudeau.
