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, Katherine Ryan, Andrew Doyle, David Baddiel, Konstantin Kisin, Owen Jones and many more.

BREAKING NEWS - Labour MP Likes a Periscope

What Most People Think with Geoff Norcott ·

2026/04/03

Please excuse the Carry On style title, but who doesn't love suggestive submarine based humour? I discuss the Labour MP with a thing for torpedos. In more serious matters, I reflect on Starmer trying to seem like a war-time leader, Robert Jenrick trying to seem like Jet 2 and the Tories coming off like a kid's cartoon.

What Most People Think with Geoff Norcott ·

2026/04/01

Tom Walker returns to discuss another BBC presenter scandal as mystery surrounds the sacking of Scott Mills. We ask what the hell is going on with these presenter types? We also celebrate the long overdue changes in non-crime hate incidents and why Trump's Iran policy is like waiting for something to download. In the Patron only section we consider why bad comedy makes people more angry than bad consumer affairs programmes. CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There’s No Bloke Without Fire’. Book

BREAKING NEWS - The Dog Ate my Phone

What Most People Think with Geoff Norcott ·

2026/03/27

I discuss the 'far-fetched' belief that two of the dodgiest people in politics might have done something dodgy with their mobile phones. I also ponder whether Keir Starmer actually is the least sh*t option Labour has. I then talk about Reform doing two bad things and one good. There's also chat about the mental decision to drop an episode of Repair Shop due to some 'sexist' jokes.CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There’s No Bloke Without Fire’. Book tickets

WHITE WORKING CLASS BOYS - Feat. Simon Evans

What Most People Think with Geoff Norcott ·

2026/03/25

Simon Evans is back this week as we ponder why no-one seems especially rattled by the possibility of missiles hitting London and financial armageddon. We also look at yet more research showing white working-class boys are falling behind academically and yet more apathy from those who should care about such things. In the Patron only we discuss the launch of SNL UK and how comedy became a culture war issue. CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There’s No Bloke Without Fire’. Book tickets

BREAKING NEWS - Caustic Keir, Ambitious Angela & Dozy...

What Most People Think with Geoff Norcott ·

2026/03/20

A lot to unpack from the week: Starmer avoiding questions like I avoid service stations without a Greggs, Rayner on maneouvres, Davey's dodgy dance moves and the comedy radar of Donald J Trump. I also have another rant about men getting their shirts off in TV shows. CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There’s No Bloke Without Fire’.

INSIDE THE MANOSFEAR - Feat. Marcus Brigstocke

What Most People Think with Geoff Norcott ·

2026/03/17

This week Marcus Brigstocke makes a welcome return as we delve into revelations which suggest Keir Starmer is above all else a bit weird. We also wonder if - in the current hyper-active media landscape - a Margaret Thatcher could emerge. We move onto discuss Louis Theroux's new documentary about the manosphere, laughing at the some of the muppets in it but also remembering that it exists for a reason. In the Patron only we talk about plans to have signs warning people of AI content. CATCH ME ON MY

Starmer Versus Trump & Blair - Feat. Andrew Doyle

What Most People Think with Geoff Norcott ·

The brilliant Andrew Doyle returns to talk about coping with bad news and the prospect of everything getting more expensive. We discuss how non-interventionalist Trump intervening in everything is going down with the MAGA base. We also wonder if the war might save Keir's Job.

BREAKING NEWS - 'He's No Winston Churchill'

What Most People Think with Geoff Norcott ·

2026/03/05

Plenty discuss even since Monday! We've had Trump and Starmer in a war of words, Kemi Badenoch going in guns possibly too hot the spring statement and the Greens over-taking Labour all in a few short days. Also I hired an electric car and am not impressed, in the same way I wasn't a fan of SNL's sketch on Tourette's.CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There’s No Bloke Without Fire’.

Really interesting episode this week as the brilliant Davina Bentley makes her debut. We discuss the conflict in Iran, Labour sneaking out another ministerial casualty, social media bans for under 16's and being a dad - whilst somehow managing to turn almost every subject into a gender war.CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There’s No Bloke Without Fire’.

BREAKING NEWS - Andrew's Birthday Surprise

2026/02/20

It's very rare that WMPT leads with a non-political story, but some thing are too big to ignore and the sight of Andrew in the back of that motor will live long in the mind. I also talk about Labour's need to have more of the quiet days they've had this week (in a relative sense anyway). Then it's onto Reform's 'shadow' cabinet which aren't yet shadows.

2026/02/17

Francis Foster finally deigns to join us after his recent blow-out. As a little break from the rolling Starmer sh*t-storm, we look at Rupert Lowe's launch of Restore Britain and ask if there are too many right-wing parties.

BREAKING NEWS - A Mad, Mad Week

What Most People Think with Geoff Norcott ·

2026/02/12

Sometimes this show is political therapy as much as commentary, so I try to analyse a week where the PM was on the brink, then he wasn't, then he went on to give one of the most bizarre PMQs in living memory. Also, Nigel wanted some attention this week, so I discuss his plan to ban all working from home. CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There’s No Bloke Without Fire’.

What a week for Tom to rejoin me as we analyse everything that's got Keir Starmer to the brink of an early exit. We chat about whether Starmer has a normal voice he's hiding and whether he'll shortly have to do the world's worst gardening leave. We also discuss the frankly ridiculous notion of theme park queue-jump for people with ADHD.

2026/02/05

In this episode I reflect on a PMQS which might go down in history. From the stoney silence behind him to the fact he insisted on calling him simply 'Mandelson'. Then it's onto what happens next, an inquiry is one thing but all the public now know his team hired a guy who'd stayed friends with a n*nce.
