ELON..AND ON..AND ON with Ian Stone

ELON..AND ON..AND ON with Ian Stone

Author: Geoff Norcott January 8, 2025 Duration: 41:27
First proper episode of the New Year and there's plenty to react to. Legitimate calls for an inquiry into rape gangs alongside Elon taking a 'keen interest' in UK politics and straying outside the boundaries of truth. Ian Stone joins me to discuss all this, plus we ask whether Labour's social care plan can be taken at face value (but ended up making childish jokes).

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.

BREAKING NEWS #44 - The Fat Police One [not-audio_url] [/not-audio_url]

Duration: 33:34
Bit of a smorgasbord this week as I pick up some political loose ends, including 'Big Ange' looking good at PMQS and problems with the Tory 'talent' pool. I also suggest the changes in reproductive rights might be a surp…
