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*

POLITICAL COMEDY UNDER LABOUR with Matt Forde
Matt Forde returns this week and we clash in a reasonably good-natured manner about the incoming Labour govt. Will David Lammy go six months without a gaffe? Will Starmer ever sort his weird voice out? Does anyone care what the Tories have to say anymore. We also discuss how comedy will operate now Labour are the target.

BREAKING NEWS #15 Post Election Therapy Breakdown
So Keir Starmer is Prime Minister. A new yawn has broken, but there were so many sub-plots on a mad night. Tories down but not entirely out? Lib Dems needing a coach rather than people carrier for all their MPs. Reform beating expectations and the SNP doing a 'Scotland in the group stage'. The election is over but the debate is only just beginning.

* ELECTION WEEK SPECIAL with Mark Steel *
It's a bumper episode this week as Mark Steel joins me to chew over the lows and also the lows of this campaign. We then move on to predicting everything from the size of the Labour majority and whether the Tory campaign is the worst thing that's ever happened anywhere to what kind of lectern ole slippery Starmer will go for once he's PM.

BREAKING NEWS #15 Caffeine Rishi & Sleepy Joe Biden
Two big debates to respond to in the this episode. In the first caffeine Rishi had probably his best outing while slippery Starmer looked like he'd over-slept. In the US debate Joe Biden looked like he'd had a nap which started in the late Seventies.

EP 255 - Damaging Flutter + Farage and Russia (with LEO KEARSE)
Leo Kearse returns to WMPT in characteristically uncompromising form. We talk about Gamblegate dragging on and Starmer facing no tougher question than why he went to watch Taylor Swift. Meanwhile naughty Nigel Farage is on the back foot after being accused of apologism for Putin. I also somehow manage to tease out Leo's softer side when we talk about pregnancy from the male perspective.

BREAKING NEWS #14 Mass Debate 'til Your Heart's Content
In this episode I dive into the big leader's debate on Question Time. What did it teach us? Other than Keir is slippery, Rishi looks depressed, Ed is a chilled out entertainer and John Swinney looks like Jean Luc Picard after a rough few years.

EP 254 - Election reaches the Half-way Snark (with SCOTT BENNETT)
This week I had a chat with Scott Bennett who is funny and Northern. At the half-way mark in the election we reflected on the stand-out moments - from Rishi in the rain to the mystery of Keir's dad's profession. We also wonder again why journos can't deal with Farage. In the Patreon only we discuss the Euros, not least why Lineker was so badly dressed.

EP 253 - Rishi's Sky Dishi & Slippery Starmer Karma (with HUGO RIFKIND)
I'm back from Ibiza so thank god I had Hugo Rifkind to help 'remind' me of the week's big political news. From Rishi's Sky Dishi to Slippery Stamer's Corbyn karma & Nigel's one man political blunderbuss. We also talk about Hugo's excellent new book 'Rabbits' which has guns, drugs and loads of cool references to the Nineties.

BREAKING NEWS #13 Dodgy Debates and the return of Naughty Nigel
Another BREAKING NEWS episode. I do a deep dive on the big debate. Why was Starmer blinking so much? How much coffee had Rishi had? Why was Julie Etchingham acting like their step-mum? And will Nigel Farage ruin it for both of them?
