  • I also feel Geoff’s pain

    I view myself as economically right of centre with old fashioned liberal ‘live and let live’ leanings. As we are becoming so polarised I also want to challenge myself to give credit where credit is due and support starmer and trump actions when I agree without being caught up in blind tribalism. Needless to say I am struggling to vote for anyone at the moment!

    I think Geoff does a good job of cutting through the political nonsense and I sense a certain kinship as he tries to challenge herd lik... more

  • My Favourite Podcast

    Been with this podcast since the very beginning so it was about time I wrote a review. If I remember correctly, I discovered Geoff on an early Triggernometry and followed him on from there. Geoff shares honest and common sense opinions, is never driven by ideology and often has an original or clever take that no-one else seems to have considered. Despite the multitude of podcasts, What Most People Think remains the one that I look forward to the most. Long may it continue.

  • Bloody Marvellous

    This is definitely one to have in your rotation for UK politics. The views of a reasonable bloke with reasonable views delivered in a witty and comfortable format. Guests are entertaining and the impressions aren’t half bad either. Best bit, of course, is the theme tune which you *will* find yourself humming at random intervals throughout the week. Give it a shot. There are a lot of worse things you could do with your time.
