What Most People Think with Geoff Nor...
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*

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...

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...

One for the Lefties this week as I start off by climbing into the government a bit for recent incompetence. However, I quickly revert to type and take the Micky out of Starmtroopers who can't handle the fact Keir didn't do so well at PMQs. We then...
