WHAT IS KEIR STARMER? With Andrew Doyle

Author: Geoff Norcott March 25, 2025 Duration: 45:27
Delighted to have Andrew Doyle back on the show. I picked his sizeable cultural brain about everything from Labour's lack of a political soul, to mainstream media thinking all boys need to do is cry & what actually is Keir Starmer.  In the Patreon only we discuss the rise of what's being called the 'Woke Right'.

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.
