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

    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 👍

  • People With Different Views Actually Getting On

    Sure, here’s a five-star review for Geoff Norcott’s podcast.

  • He’s no Geoff Bocott

    Geoff Norcott’s What Most People Think is what happens when someone says the things you’re thinking—but actually makes them funny.

    Sharp, honest, and never preachy. Great guests, strong impressions, and just enough cricket chat to feel like a proper British podcast.

    Only gripe: the Yorkshire accent. Effort noted… accuracy pending.

    Brilliant listen.
