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.

  • BREAKING NEWS - Dirty Russian Oil

    BREAKING NEWS - Dirty Russian Oil
    May 21 2026
    This week was an interesting one for Keir Starmer as he had to get used to his place on the political cuck-chair, whilst also fielding good news on inflation at the same time as dodgy news around Russian oil. Wes Streeting is campaigning hard and seems to be one of those rejoiners who thinks the EU still has that magic wand. There's also discussion of Rachel Reeve's run-in with a white van man and Robert Jenrick getting a drive-by off a Lib Dem. CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There’s No Bloke Without Fire’.

    LABOUR CIVIL WAR - Feat. Ian Moore
    May 19 2026
    Our man in France Ian Moore makes a welcome return to get me out of my echo-chamber. We discuss whether Starmer was betrayed by his colleagues or just a bit crap. We also chat about Andy Burnham's belief that poverty only exists in the North of England. We then ask if high speed 4G heralded a decline in birth-rates. In the Patron only section we discuss the Nineties and whether nostalgia for that era is out of hand. CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There’s No Bloke Without Fire’.

I have listend to Geoff since the start as I always appreciate different views and try balance my opinions. Geoff is clearly a very funny clever man who does not hide behind the comedy PC rules that others seem to. I always look forward to his podcast and make it a point to listen to him even thought I don't always agree with him. He makes the news and current issues fun and relatable in a way that helps me appreciate the views of others. keep it up!!

Geoff Norcott’s “What Most People Think “has been my number one podcast of choice since discovering it in the dark days of lockdown since when it has continued to give me a much-anticipated weekly shot of belly laughs. Suitable for anyone who enjoys intelligent witty debate regardless of political persuasion. He discusses a broad church of ideas along with consistently great guests. There are no sponsors to pander to other than Geoff himself, so it remains a standout platform for free speech, steered by Geoff’s respectful, reasonable, and always humorous style. I really enjoyed the episode with Phil Wang and most recently with James Haskell. He has also introduced me to new people and their podcasts like Matt Marney, Konstantin Kisin and Frances Forster. The New Year episodes are characterised by Mystic Geoff’s predictions, now in its fourth year, they have proven to be so reliably inaccurate that this year, Geoff thought he might as well ask a seven-year-old and introduced his son as cameo guest who proved to be heart-warmingly delightful, funny, and charming.

I love the wide span of subjects covered in this podcast; men’s mental health was illuminating and well done, and Matt Marney has guested on several episodes covering health and fitness. Going forward, I’m thinking a bit on nutrition might not be a bad thing, perhaps Dr Chris Van Tulleken would oblige as guest since he’s got a new book, “Ultra-Processed People” to push. With Geoff’s considerable workload, better nutrition could make him feel a lot less like “a bowl of fruit that’s on the turn”.  A Mueller corner scooped up with a key fob and a diet coke do nothing to mitigate the effects of his passion for Kentucky fried chicken. Look after yourself Geoff! – get some veg, vitamin D, ditch the Coke and take the weight off your carpel tunnel riddled wrists with some voice typing. But most of all, keep going; I can’t be the only one with a podcast addiction that needs feeding.
