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 246 - Angela Rayner, Violent Crime and Library Nonc*s with RACHEL FAIRBURN
We have a lady this week! Not just that a funny working class Northern lady (so many boxes ticked). Rachel Fairburn joins me to consider whether anyone cares about Angela Rayner's dogginess, if there really is a drop in violent crime and whether there's such a thing as Library Nonc*s

EP 245 - Liz Truss, WW3 & Cancel Culture with SEANN WALSH
This week Seann Walsh returns for a very eclectic show. We discuss Liz Truss and her theory about running restaurants, the prospect of World War 3 and my belief that Seann is within his rights to look down his nose at modern cancel culture victims. There's also one of my favourite ever moments as Seann starts an observation about plastic bottles which he doesn't get to finish....

BREAKING NEWS #8 - Fallout from the Cass Report
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.

EP 244 - Politics and Murder with STIG ABELL
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.

EP 243 - JK Rowling and the Deathly Scottish Hate Crime Bill
This week I climb into the Scottish hate crime bill cluster**** and how JK Rowling was able to call Humza's bluff. I also tentatively wonder if the Tory backlash has got a bit excessive. Additionally, there's another FREE audiobook chapter from THE BRITISH BLOKE DECODED.

EP 242 - DOM FRISBY's brush with ELON MUSK...
I'm delighted DOMINIC FRISBY was able to step in last minute because he was able to tell us about his brush with ELON MUSK. We also look at the rise of the Reform Party, the departure of Owen Jones and - in the Patreon only section - we discuss Netflix's documentary about crowd trouble at the Euro 2021 final.

Customer Reviews
Humorous and intelligent
Finally someone brave and intelligent enough to take a humorous angle on British politics with a right of centre slant, but still knows when to give the Tories what they deserve. Only constructive feedback would be to stop saying what “old man views” you have because you have at least one female Human Resources professional nodding and laughing along with you!
From … A vegan listener
Well, this is the second time I give you 5-star review; c’mon, you can tell your listeners you have a vegan fan, it’s okay! By the way, I did understand the humour behind your comments… when the vegans attacked you on social media, or something along those lines; so, please, don’t hate us all, some of us do have a sense of humour. Loved listening to the excerpts from your book! I was LOL’ing when you said that everyone was doing the Conga - in regard to someone winning an election, etc. You are hilarious! Planning on buying your book. :)
PS: Watch The Game Changers on Netflix: about lots of manly men that are professional athletes discussing the benefits of a plant-based diet. ;)
Keeps me in touch
I’ve recently moved to the US and have found Geoff’s podcast invaluable in keeping in touch with the views of the common man. I used to rely on LBC and London Cabbies but unfortunately the Uber drivers Stateside are not as forthright with their views. It’s definitely funnier than the Moral Maze, which is one of the other podcasts I subscribe to.
