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*

63: EP 63 - (Feat. Dominic Frisby) Democracy Hypocrisy
Don't want to brag but this is a blinding episode. After we catch up on some of the hysterical and hypocritical nonsense coming out of Biden's victory, I have a long chat with brilliant comedian and Libertarian Dominic Frisby.
We talk about everything from the big state, to the voice-over industry and his feelings about Boris. One not to miss!

60: EP 60 - (Feat. Mark Nelson) England Vs Scotland
After a dismal week of standards in politics I decide to chat to brilliant Scottish comic Mark Nelson. We looks at where he's been on his journey with Scottish independence and deal with his shock at how small Rishi Sunak is. Mark also gives us his take on Lockdown North of the border.
You'll be pleased to know there are more letters on the vexed wife farting issue.

59: EP 59 - Fears for Tiers
As the political establishment seems to want the country to hibernate like a bear, we chat about the latest in another manic week. From Boris to Rishi and Starmer finally growing a pair.
We also look at the return of crap Lockdown adverts and have a quick chat about men's mental health.
I also try to start a support group for men whose wives have recently started doing something that annoys them.

58: EP 58 - (Feat. Garry Bushell) Rishi's Mauling / TV turn-off
Despite trying to sabotage my own technology I finally got this episode out. After a mental week in politics it's only right that we have a big catch-up on Rishi's mauling, Starmer's stalling & Sturgeon falling.
Then I pick the brains of TV critic of the people Garry Bushell about the current telly landscape, music and much more besides.
I also laugh probably the most I ever have at a one of the letters.

57: EP 57 - Joe Biden / Granddad Simpson
This we week we've got the reaction to the reaction to the Presidential debates. Is Biden just an old guy trying to stave off going to the home? We also look at Fred Perry demonising one of their own t-shirts and why people who like Autumn are mentally ill.
In the letters we get responses to last week's explosive Tania Edwards episode.

56: EP 56 - Six F****** Months?!?
After our usual catch-up, I speak to brilliant comic Tania Edwards. This was a surprisingly intense but worthwhile chat. Tania is very angry at a lot of what is happening with Covid restrictions. Unusually for a comic, she's got the research to back it up. Have a listen. Do you agree?
As well as the serious stuff I rinse Starmer for being crap at autocue and there's some fun in the letters.

55: EP 55 - Ex Prime Minister's WhatsApp Group
From the fog of a hangover I can confidently say this is the best sound I've ever produced on the podcast. The chat was ok too. Brexit, Covid & some KFC conspiracy theories. Also my favourite letter for sometime from a man who clearly needs to grow a pair.

54: EP 54 - The Mis-rule of Six
Having been told RW comics would never criticise the Govt, I've got plenty of beef with the Tories over the re-introduction of Lockdown measures. We then look at why racially segregated cafes in the US might not possibly, maybe, be a great way to fight racism. There's a hall of fame letter, a fight between Kay Burlesconi and Julia Hartley Brewer too.
