What Most People Think with Geoff Norcott

258 episodes - English - Latest episode: 4 days ago - ★★★★★ - 18 ratings

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*

We have a lady this week! Not just that a funny working class Northern lady (so many boxes ticked).

April 17, 2024 01:00 - 43 minutes

BREAKING NEWS #8 - Fallout from the Cass Report

April 12, 2024 18:19 - 28 minutes

In this episode I try to give a very normal bloke response to the findings of the Cass Report. I won't lie, it's a heavy subject, so luckily there was also a fun YouGov survey this week asking the public silly questions about Sunak and Starmer which I get stuck into. I also reveal one of the most childish things I've ever done.  Support the Podcast, keep it weekly & AD-FREE https://www.patreon.com/geoffnorcott?fan_landing=true  Watch my new BBC DOCUMENTARY: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episo...

EP 244 - Politics and Murder with STIG ABELL

April 10, 2024 01:00 - 51 minutes

This week I talk to broadcaster and write Stig Abell about politics and murder. Stig presents a breakfast show and gives on the background on politicians who say stupid things or - indeed - nothing at all. Then it's on to murder. Stig is a crime novelist and I challenge him to justify why it's ok to be entertained by people being killed.  Get a copy of Stig's book, 'Death in a Lonely Place', here: https://harpercollins.co.uk/products/death-in-a-lonely-place-jake-jackson-book-2-stig-abell?vari...

March 07, 2024 16:00 - 27 minutes

In this breaking news I mull over Jeremy Hunt's long budget with small measures. I celebrate the NI cut whilst wondering if the fuel duty cut is an ongoing feature of British public life, like the DFS sale.

EP 238 - Political Sh******ery

February 28, 2024 02:00 - 45 minutes

It's another solo ep this week (following a late guest drop-out) but that did give a chance to reflect on a rancorous week in British politics. From Labour's mafioso style 'leaning' on Lindsay Hoyle to Lee Anderson going in two footed under the Ref's nose - it's all here.

After i've had a laugh at how stressed Fin Taylor is we discuss the government's 'crumble brick syndrome' before wondering why Starmer drop-kicked Lisa Nandy into outer space. We then consider the cancellation of Roisin Murphy and whether the words 'puberty blocker' should cause alarm.  Support the Podcast, keep it weekly & AD-FREE https://www.patreon.com/geoffnorcott?fan_landing=true Come to my 2023/24 TOUR  https://www.livenation.co.uk/artist-geoff-norcott-1252793 Pre-order my new BOOK h...

EP 214 - ULooze - Sadiq Squares up to Motorists

August 29, 2023 18:31 - 39 minutes

This week I climb into Sadiq's expansion of Ulez to greater London. I ask when he's ever going to do something popular with everybody.  I also talk about being a parent and the responsibility of telling them bad stuff from history. But what if they don't think it's bad?...

EP 213 - What's Happening to the Edinburgh Fringe? (plus chat with the Man Whisperer)

August 21, 2023 12:29 - 57 minutes

It's a game of two halves this week. I respond to the news around the cancellation of Graham Linehan's gig and general issues at the Edinburgh Fringe.

EP 211 - Starmer Chameleon with IAN STONE

August 08, 2023 01:01 - 54 minutes

This is such a funny episode. Co-host Ian Stone was on great form. Despite being a centre-left guy, he's not too fond of Mr Starmer. I also launch a defence for Tories earning big money from second jobs, whilst we try to talk about the Lionesses without saying anything patronising.  Support the Podcast, keep it weekly & AD-FREE https://www.patreon.com/geoffnorcott?fan_landing=true Come to my 2023/24 TOUR  https://www.livenation.co.uk/artist-geoff-norcott-1252793 Pre-order my new BOOK amzn....

EP 210 - The Secrets of Modern Advertising

August 01, 2023 01:01 - 50 minutes

I'm on holiday this week, so I pre-recorded a fascinating chat with advertising guru Paul Burke. Paul spills the beans on a number of secrets from the progressive obsessed world of modern advertising. Not only that he talks about being part of the team which sold Blair in the late Nineties, but he also has a surprise assessment of Rishi Sunak's electoral chances...

EP 209 - Post election shakedown with MATT FORDE

July 25, 2023 18:49 - 1 hour

Delighted to have Matt Forde co-hosting this week.  After some very old sounding chat about recent gigs we've been to, I pick Matt's considerable political brain over last week's by election results.  He's very forthright about why he thinks Labour are on the right track and Starmer is doing a good job. Well worth a listen.  Support the Podcast, keep it weekly & AD-FREE https://www.patreon.com/geoffnorcott?fan_landing=true   Come to my 2023/24 TOUR  https://www.livenation.co.uk/artist-geo...

The brilliant Nick Dixon returns to co-host as we mull over Rishi's university onslaught, Keir's back-peddling, hypocrisy over the Huw Edwards scandal and whether or not a man should call his genitals the 'ice breaker'.
