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*

83: (Feat. Simon Evans) What IS going on in schools?
Absolute belter this, with Simon Evans co-hosting and on top form. We look at the situation in Batley where an RS teacher was suspended for showing cartoons of the Prophet. We then talk about a school in Hackney which has ended bullying by also ending fun. Then there's some strange philosophical stuff and a comparison between God and Rudy Giuliani.

82: Flag Sha*ger or Patriot?
Plenty to talk about this week. We’ve got a new phrase to get our heads around, ‘Flag Shaggers’. I ponder both sides of the argument before realising the Union Jack is undeniably sexy. Then I respond to the furloughed agitators in Bristol and why it’s so hard for Labour MPs to say setting fire to Police vans is hard. We close by wondering what a ‘Tory approved’ sitcom would look like.

81: (Feat. Rosie Holt) The Ballad of Sir Keith Starmer
After a quick catch-up on the latest EU vaccine clusters*ck, I chat with the brilliant Rosie Holt. We get a sense of her comedic targets plus views on vaccines, women's safety and why there are so many creepy left-wing men in comedy.

80: Megxit / Piersxit / Give a sh*t
In this episode I go on hard on Meghan & Harry's interview. Then I tell myself off. Then I storm off and refuse to apologise.
As well as reaction to the Royal nonsense we talk about Pepe Le Pew being cancelled and why the Queen should start knocking people off.

79: (Feat. Andrew Doyle) Budget Reaction + Free Speech Deep Dive
Returning to co-host this week we have the brilliant Andrew Doyle. He discusses his new book and the current issues around free speech. We also respond to Rishi's Leftie budget, decide which era had the best gays and determine who'd win in a fight between Sturgeon & Salmond.

78: Boris's Covid Plan: Road-map or Donkey Trek?
It's an early upload as I try to get my head around the Govt's road-map out of Covid. Is it light at the end of the tunnel? Or is the tunnel just a shift-shaping entity that will never end?
I also get weirdly annoyed about Madonna's belief she is oppressed before doing a bit of men's mental health.

77: (Feat. Konstantin Kisin) Why Are Labour So Meh?
This episode sees my first ever co-host as I honour Trigonometry's own Konstantin Kisin making his third appearance on the show.
We wonder why some Lefties are so shocked at the Tories continuing to do ok in the polls. Then there's discussion over the cancellation (which apparently doesn't happen) of Gina Carrano from The Mandalorian.

76: Owen Jones takes up my challenge!
So I put a WWE challenge out to Owen Jones to come on the podcast. Fair play, he took it up. We spoke about Labour's problems of course, but I also tried to get Owen to admit that that the Left are obsessed with identity politics and that paying tax can be upsetting.

75: Ursula Executes Order 66
As the EU vaccine row exploded over the weekend I have another pass at how the cool kids in school ending up soiling themselves in the canteen. We also talk about Sadiq in yet another grand virtue signal. Then it's onto the double standards in the way men take stick for their appearance #EverydaySexism

74: EP 74 - (Feat. Nico Yearwood) EU in Giant Dummy Spit
This week we have a great guest, fearless & funny stand-up Nico Yearwood. We talk comedy, Meghan & Harry, BLM and the 'bravery' of no make-up selfies.
Before that it's a quick catch-up on the politics, with the 'grim milestone' and the EU throwing a massive hissy fit.
