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*

102: (Feat. Konstantin Kisin) Why Moderate People Don't Trust The News
This is a cracking episode as co-host Konstantin Kisin unpacks his super viral thread on why normally moderate people are struggling to trust the MSM on vaccines. We also take some pot-shots at those preachy Tik-Tokers and the idea of The Terminator going woke.

101: The Woke Olympics
It's one for the purists this week, a solo episode where I look at a frankly astonishing recommendation from an American medical agency on gender. Then we look at the mental health debate in and around sport, trying to determine the difference between real issues and getting the yips.
I also name my top three service stations.

99: EP 99 - ALUN COCHRANE
Delighted to have Alun Cochrane on the show this, especially after so many requests from the Patreons. Alun is a seriously smart and funny comic, who's been on a bit of a journey in terms of his relationship with the comedy circuit. It's fair to say he doesn't buy into the comedy groupthink. Not one bit.

97: IAIN DALE
After a quick catch-up on the face-mask, I welcome the brilliant Iain Dale. This is such a great politics chat: from big tent ideas, political gossip and up to the minute analysis. This episode is longer than usual, partly because I didn't want to lose anything.

96: (Feat. Nico Yearwood) Twisted Nipples & Oxfam's weird 'Whiteness'
Delighted to have the brilliant Nico Yearwood back as co-host. I catch up with Nico's experience back gigging and how some middle-aged white women have been acting in comedy clubs. We discuss the back end of the Hancock affair and wonder if Sajid might savour restrictions a little less, before looking at Oxfam's bizarre attitude towards 'whiteness'.

After a news catch-up on the Lockdown extension & launch of GB News, I speak to 'The Man Whisperer' Kenny Marmarella D'Cruz.
It's international men's health week, so me and Kenny lockdown on the effects of lockdown. From dealing with emotional women to realising your partner is annoying. Plus I make some immature jokes about sex to break the tension.
