Our guest this week is multiple world record holder Mariam “Amazi" Olayiwola. A former scientist who, after a tragic accident 5 years ago, quit the laboratory to become a full-time hula hooping performance artist. A move that is clearly working out because Amazi has just broken her THIRD hula hooping world record!



WARNING: Listening to this episode may result in you immediately quitting your job and chasing your dreams.



Also, we discuss a speed eating legend, a long haul flight from hell, and a shoe salesman from Bradford, before once again attempting to get into the record books ourselves.

For our second episode, we are joined by the late Ron Sarchian, a.k.a. World Record Ron – a bona fide record-breaking legend with 53 world records to his name. From punchbag marathons to the most watermelons karate-chopped in a minute, his range of world record titles is truly outstanding – and 23 of them were broken while undergoing chemotherapy after being diagnosed with cancer in January 2022.

We were honoured and lucky enough to meet and record with Ron before his passing in February this year. We absolutely loved chatting with him and hearing all of his wonderful stories from over the years.

We debated whether or not to release this episode but decided that not to... wouldn't be in the spirit of World Record Ron. So we hope you enjoy this tribute to him. An inspiring and brilliant man to the very end.

For our first episode, we are joined by world record-breaking magician Martin Rees, who features in the Guinness World Records 2024 book for his great array of magic-based world records. Magic under water? Magic in a wind tunnel? Magic in space!? Taking magician ambition to the next level, Martin tells us all about his current and previously held world records, as well as those he hopes to break.

Plus, we ruminate on world record breakers plucked from the archives (expect controversy)—and our very first world record attempt in the studio goes off with a bang! (Or several).
