EP 230 - Gervais, Coward & Predictions for 2024

Author: Geoff Norcott December 30, 2023 Duration: 44:29
In this end of year episode I talk about the latest outrage over Ricky Gervais's comedy and the attempts to call Noel Coward 'queer'. Then it's on to a political review of 2023 and some predictions for the election year coming up, including why Rishi may be like Rose from Titanic and how Keir might start talking about himself in the 3rd person.

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.
