« Forbes Podcasting Analysis: "BS" | Main | Chicago Sportscast Network Adds Soxcast »Podcast Gets Guinness RecordFebruary 09, 2006
Instead of presenting highlights of previously recorded material, the weekly podcast shows are entirely new material consisting of random and amusing discussions between Ricky, and his friends Karl Pilkington and Stephen Merchant. Garvais joins a strong-groin Indian seeking a push-up record and a loud-clapping 60-year-old Chinese masseur. Ricky Gervais said, “Steve and Karl wanted to charge for the podcast. Just a pound they said. I said no. We've had nearly 3 million downloads so far. It's difficult doing a show with two people who won’t talk to me now". The record will be a contester for the 2007 edition of Guinness World Records, out in the autumn. Craig Glenday, editor of Guinness World Records says; “People say that there’s nothing new under the sun, that there’s nothing left to discover and no records left to be set. But this new podcasting achievement shows that there’s always scope for record breaking, and we’re pleased to welcome Ricky and his team to the Guinness World Records hall of fame.” The official certificate was presented to Ricky and the team by Craig Glenday, editor of Guinness World Records at the Guardian Offices on Monday.
