TRUMP, TRAUMA & TORIES with Ian Stone

TRUMP, TRAUMA & TORIES with Ian Stone

Author: Geoff Norcott August 15, 2024 Duration: 53:28
This week Ian Stone joins me from the Fringe. We talk about everything from the riots to the Tory leadership race (someone has to) and whether Trump's dentures will last the pace. There's also some men's mental health chat, where me and Stoney realise despite all our big talk we never 'check in' on eachother. In the Patreon only section we put our battlefield knowledge to the test and decide that Ukraine's incursion into Russia might be good or bad.  Order the PAPERBACK EDITION of my book: https://www.amazon.co.uk/British-Bloke-Decoded-Everything-explained/dp/1800961308/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= JOIN the Podcast Patreon and receive each episode early, AD-FREE & with bonus content https://www.patreon.com/geoffnorcott?fan_landing=true  Join my MAILING LIST for priority Tour booking & special offers https://signup.ymlp.com/xgyueuwbgmgb BOOK Tickets for Edinburgh Fringe run:  https://www.livenation.co.uk/artist-geoff-norcott-1252793  Watch my COMEDY SPECIAL on YouTube https://youtu.be/YaxhuZGtDLs  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.
