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, Katherin... more

  • Superb podcast

    Everything you say brings a massive smile to my face. As a blind person, life is often tough and hearing your twice weekly podcasts cheers my days. One of your listeners in the past rather harshly said they didn’t like your theme music. Can I say as a music graduate, I absolutely love it. as soon as the theme starts, I move my arms above my head side to side and it really gets me going. Thank you, Geoff for providing some right leaning balance to an otherwise very lefty world.

  • Great news podcast

    As a South African Brit this is how I get my news of home… only adding a review to see how Geoff does this in his great accents.

    Topical, funny and good mix of guests to get different views.

  • Not had a UK based Ad since Geoff changed providers

    Love WMPT but the best bit is not knowing the ads I’ll get at the start of the pod since Geoff changed providers. Random ads for American auto shops to something in Eastern European. Shows that Geoff’s podcast is for the most diverse and inclusive audiences! (P.s I’m not using a VPN)

  • Excellent listen

    Been listening to Geoff for a couple of years now and always find that his views and opinions are very much in line with myself. He is open to discussion on both sides of politics and will listen and respect other’s views. I would highly recommend a listen as it is worth it just for the Starmer impression alone.

    Keep up the great work and I look forward to seeing you in November.

  • Funny, intelligent and contemporary, which is why I listen to Jeff (sic)

    Excellent podcast, been listening to it for a decent amount of time. Intelligent but accessible, funny but serious when needed, does a great job of presenting multiple opinions while Geoff (not sic) remains vaguely centre right. Got a weakness for good looking South Londoners, so maybe he needs to release a calendar too
