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

With the Edinburgh Fringe starting and Live at the Apollo being cancelled I though it was a good time to get Carey on to chat all things comedy. Carey was doing dark comedy before it even had a name, and has plenty of strong takes on identity, being ... more

  • Thank you

    Geoff’s episode around the horrendous Henry Nowak killing was so on point……

    Geoff is often able to articulate the way ‘most people think’ in an intelligent and thoughtful way. This incident however, was the worst possible event to try and navigate commentary around and I feel Geoff surpassed himself. Thanks Geoff.

  • Hilarious.

    Hilarious episode this week with Lefty guest Ian Moore. Angela Rayner “should be health secretary” and “is clearly talented”. “Energy and transport should be under government control again”. Brilliant! So as well as being screwed by Net Zero, we won’t even be able to access to the bit of electricity and water we’ve got because they’ll all be on strike. Oh, my sides are hurting. More of this sort of thing please Geoff. Shine a light on the insanity that is befalling us.

    Great to see you getting a call back on RFR this week in reference to the passing of actor Michael Pennington who played commander Moff Jerjarrod in the Return of the Jedi. Came across you first on RFR and as a 48 year old, U2 fan, veteran of several trips to Ibiza, Cricket lover, teacher with a son called Seb … it’s fair to say I thoroughly enjoyed the episode, and have re listened to your chat with Billy Mac and Jason Swank 👍

BURNHAM'S BIG WEEK - Feat. Dominic Frisby
Q: What is your take on the Burnham by-election and the potential Labour leadership shift?
