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.

In the week of the budget there was no better guest than comedian and financial oracle Dominic Frisby. We make predictions, but also consider bizarre forfeits for leaking to the press. With a deal in Ukraine looming, we apply our limited knowledge to... more

  • Give the latest Dominic Frisbee episode a miss

    Frisbee lied about the bond markets, masses of people posting keys through their own letterboxes in the early nineties and even Neville Chamberlain. Poor.

  • A genuinely honest and funny take on news and politics

    Geoff’s podcast is sharp, warm, and consistently funny, with a mix of honest chat and smart commentary that never feels forced. I absolutely love how each episode feels like a proper conversation rather than a performance. Thoroughly recommended

  • A great listen.

    Plenty going on and pleased Geoff brings in all sides of politics so we're not in an echo chamber.

    Should be on Radio 4 comedy slot weekly.

  • Starmer did what?

    Another fabulous podcast from the funniest ex teacher who turned to comedy to increase his bank balance, he’s worked hard to get where is and it shows with his well thought out political observations and I feel the shows title would be pretty close to accurate if there was a poll. Keep up the good work Geoff you are beautiful
