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*

NO ELON NO PARTY with Konstantin Kisin
I was delighted to have big time Konstantin Kisin back on the show this week. We both worried that Labour might say they're big business while simultaneously scaring the crap out of investors. We also spoke about why Elon was not allowed to Britain but might be allowed into space.

SUE GREY WAS A SPY with Vittorio Angelone
Delighted to welcome the most Italian sounding person of all time to this week's podcast. Vittorio had some strong opinions about Phillip Schofield and also a stunning theory as to Sue Grey's murky past. We also discuss offence in comedy and why Vittorio had one of his shows cancelled for a joke about Valentine's cards.

BREAKING NEWS #21 - Labour's Bad News Tsunami
I'm not sure there's ever been so much to cover from a three day period. From Starmer's 6k refund, to Lord Alli's investigation, giving away the Chagos Islands, a drop in investment and private school numbers.....the Labour Party have been BUSY. Great for my podcast but maybe not the country.

SNORY PARTY CONFERENCE with Erich Mcilroy
This week I had the lovely Erich Mcilroy back on the show. Erich is fully plotted up the US election and which way the wind is blowing over the pond. But before that we spoke about the weirdness of this year's Tory party conference and some of the more arresting statements by Kemi Badenoch and Jenrick Lamar.

BREAKING NEWS #20 - Crouching Starmer, Hidden Sausage
100% had to do a Breaking News this week after Starmer's sausage accidentally slipped out. But it's not just the silly stuff, Labour have serious political issues unravelling and not a lot to say about it. We also look ahead to the Tory conference and the concept of 'having a quiet one'. Very quiet.

A GOVERNMENT OF SELF-SERVICE with Ria Lina
This week the very funny Ria Lina joins me to cast our eye over yet more embarrassment for the Labour Party. We also discuss the charges against P Diddy and consider whether celebrity men are just plain wronguns. In the Patreon only I fully support Amazon's call to end WFH and drift into some very right wing views about workplace rights.

LADY STARMER'S DRESSES with Dominic Frisby
Podcast favourite Dom Frisby rejoins this week as we ponder Starmer selling out for far too little money. We also react to another botched attempt on Donald Trump and ask how someone with blue hair could possibly own a gun. In the Patreon only I go on a bit of a rant about how Huw Edwards could escape jail time.

BREAKING NEWS #19 - Donald Trump Pet Detective
Had to do another episode this week, following the US Presidential Debate and Donald Trump emerging as the guardian of canines and felines. But I ask whether American voters will be swayed by the nonsense? I also look at Labour's junk food ban and wonder why we can't hold people to account for eating too much.

WINTER FOOL ALLOWANCE with Marcus Brigstocke
Marcus returns this week (and there's a bombshell reveal at the end as to his current position on Brexit). We talk about Labour's terrible handling of the Winter Fuel allowance changes and whether Ed Davey (Ed Samey anyone?) provides meaningful opposition. We also discuss the revolutionary idea that parents are responsible for d**khead kids.

SLUM LANDLORDS & SMOKING BANS with Francis Foster
Triggernometry's Francis Foster joins me this week as we bicker (flirt?) our way through a torrid week for Labour. We ask whether the public are buying all of Starmer's 'black holes'. We also discuss the Oasis ticket debacle and conclude that old people are tired and young people don't like music. Francis also informs me of dark forces within the comedy industry trying to cancel his gigs...
