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*

23: EP 23 - Mystic Geoff (Predictions for 2020)
Having been surprisingly ahead of the curve in 2019 Geoff has let it go to his head and is making some bold predictions about the coming year. He looks at Trump's chances, how Brexit will play out and who will win the donkey derby of the Labour leadership race. He also considers how the SJW's will react to the prospect of more Trump, Boris & Brexit.

22: EP 22 - Stonking Majority
Had to get a podcast out in reaction the shock but widely predicted Conservative win. We look at the fallout, and Labour's line-up of likely ladies versus Gold Blend lookalike Keir Starmer. In the letters a listener calls out my criticisms of modern football, we discuss beer fear and finish by considering Emily Thornberry's clear pugilistic advantages over Jess Phillips.

20: EP 20 - (feat. Jayde Adams) FeminHISm
After we have a quick catch up on some of the big recent political debate shows, I talk to the brilliant Jayde Adams. Jayde has a unique working class take on Feminism, so we discuss normal women's priorities, personal responsibility and quite a bit about tits. In the letters we look at gender inequality in presents and who'd win a fight between Boris Johnson and Justin Trudeau.

19: EP 19 - Unilateral Coalitions & 'Self-Partnering'
I catch up on a spectacularly bad start to election campaigning by all the main parties. From Jacob's Grenfell gaffe to the Lib Dem's painfully bad social media, we give out gold stars to all the idiots. We also discuss Emma Watson trying to redefine being single as being 'self-partnered'. I then admit my pathological issues with dressing gowns before we head into the letters, where we look at the rights and wrongs of the self-identifying female cricketer and the all important hypothetical political punch-up: this weeks it's Rees-Mogg Vs Oliver Letwin.

18: EP 18 - Election Announcement Special
Possibly my favourite solo episode, simply because there's so much to talk about. I pull out the satirical flame-thrower on all the opposition parties bollocks & paradoxes. We walk about Ian Blackford's persecution complex, the Lib Dem's domestic black hole and why Jeremy is like a journeyman stand-up. We also talk about the ridiculous reaction to Paul Hollywood's joke and why men shouldn't take their wive's names. Finally we consider the crucial question of who'd win in a fight between Gove & Corbyn.

17: EP 17 - (feat. Alistair Williams) Comedy Rebellion
This episode we talk to comedy lone wolf Alistair Williams. Al has a fascinating story to tell about his brush with comedy's thought police. He took it right to the limit, sharing a stage with a certain Nigel Farage. Luckily he's lived to tell a fascinating tale. We also look at Trump, Extinction Rebellion and gender fluidity. And of course there's the crucial question of who'd win in a fight between Jo Swinson and Priti Patel.

16: EP 16 - Politics & Letters
It's just us for this one. I use this as a chance to catch up on the huge political goings on since the last episode. We talk prorogation, Labour conference, Emily Thornberry's mad speech, the 'dangerous metaphors' being used in the House of Commons and much more. I also do a few letters as we look at jockeying for position with a 14 year old son, my undeniable weight gain, train arseholes and who'd win a fight between George Galloway and Nick Griffin.

15: EP 15 - (feat. Dominic Frisby) Money, Money, MONEY
After bitching about moving house I have a quick re-cap of the latest hypocrisy coming out of the Remain Alliance. We then get into a fun and fascinating chat with Dominic Frisby. Dom is a complete one off, stand-up, economist and passionate Brexiteer. We talk about his upcoming book and his contempt for taxation as well as his hit Pro-Brexit song '17 million f**k offs'. We end with the crucial contemplation of who would win a fight between Hitler and Mussolini. In men's mental I have a little boo-hoo over the loneliness at the top of being an alpha male bread winner.

14: EP 14 - (feat. Henning Wehn) Anglo German Relations
Henning Wehn rarely does podcasts or interviews, so I was chuffed to get him on my show. We spoke about his early experiences of British comedy audiences, the differences between our national approaches to humour and the political landscape in Germany. We also contemplated the key issue of who’d win in a fight between Chukka Ummuna and Sajid Javid. Men’s mental health also makes a return as we discuss the frankly ridiculous notion that men don’t also get trapped in toxic relationships.

13: EP 13 - (feat. Leo Kearse) A Scottish Tory comedian? WTF?
Recorded while at the Edinburgh Fringe. I have a chat with the gentle giant, Scottish Conservative comic Leo Kearse. He's nice off stage, but on it he's happy to tear into woke orthodoxies. We talk about his economic views before moving onto the nature of offence and one particular critic who marked him down for his politics. We discuss his show 'Transgressive' and how he got banned from his own venue before even doing his first show. Of course we have an imaginary political fight. This week it's between Emily Thornberry and Anne Widdecombe.
