136: EP 136 - ESHAAN AKBAR

Author: Geoff Norcott April 5, 2022 Duration: 1:11:55
A brilliant chat this week with Eshaan Akbar. Eshaan shares his fascinating background and sheds some interesting light on why so many British Asians lean to the Right. We also talk about the Channel 4 decision and I do so many dodgy accents this may be the last you hear from me.  Support the Podcast, keep it weekly & AD-FREE https://www.patreon.com/geoffnorcott?fan_landing=true 2022 LIVE UK TOUR livenation.uk/puvz30rmxK4 Order my BOOK amzn.to/2TNsKOU Learn more about your ad choices.

Geoff Norcott operates in a comedy world that often leans one way, but he brings a different, grounded perspective to the table. His What Most People Think with Geoff Norcott podcast is built on the idea that ordinary people have nuanced views on the social and political issues dominating the headlines. Each episode digs into those contentious topics with a blend of honesty and blunt humour, aiming for insight without unnecessary vitriol. You'll hear Geoff's own take, shaped by his experience as a right-leaning stand-up in a predominantly left-field industry, but the conversations truly come alive with guests from across the entire social and political spectrum. Regular contributors like Romesh Ranganathan, Katherine Ryan, Jonathan Pie, Andrew Doyle, and David Baddiel ensure no single viewpoint dominates the chat. The result is a surprisingly balanced and consistently funny exploration of what people really believe, away from the echo chambers. Tuning into this podcast means getting a candid, comedic audit of modern Britain, where disagreement is allowed and laughter is the constant.
