Kicker - Talk radio record

NICK EICHER, HOST: We’ve hosted some fairly long radio interviews over the years, but nothing like this.

Two DJs at an Ohio college radio station just broke the Guinness World Record for the longest radio interview ever.

Zachary and Collin are DJs for WJCU-FM at John Carroll University near Cleveland.

Over the weekend, they interviewed each other—scintillating stuff, too, what’s your favorite pizza topping, what’s your favorite movie—on and on and on—for 25 hours and 35 minutes.

Better than the previous record by 9 minutes.

And at the end of the ordeal, Zachary was surprisingly coherent!

SINUTKO: I’ve been here since 6 am yesterday. So I’m going on 27 hours on 6 hours of sleep. But I’m going home and sleeping after eating this hashbrowns and coffee.

Hashbrowns, coffee, sleep-deprivation.

These are things you can get away with when you’re young!

It’s The World and Everything in It.
