Come and listen to the episode that has (unofficially) broken the world record for 'The spookiest ever Halloween special edition of a podcast specifically about world record breakers'. It's both spooktacular AND fangtastic...two original puns that no Halloween-themed thing has claimed to be, ever.

No world record holding guest this week - just two hosts who are distinctly average in almost every skill and category other than enthusiasm for world records. Along with some very spooky trivia, and a brilliant game that is in no way convoluted to explain.

Ghostly nuns, massive vegetables, skateboarding pigs, and a man who lives under a beer garden, you name a tenuously-linked Halloween world record, we got it!

Happy Halloween!

After a lengthy break we are back harder, better, faster, stronger and more hyperbolic than ever!

For the first episode of Series 2 we are joined live in the studio by superstar designer Rob Hallifax. Two-time world record holder and creator of the both the world's smallest and the world's largest playing cards (check out our Instagram for photos).

We discuss out favourite ever tiny and giant art based world records, new years resolutions, and introduce a brand new feature which in no way dates the show and is definitely a good idea of a podcast we do in our spare time and has average turn around time of about 5 months per episode.

Welcome back and enjoy!

In our sixth episode, we meet multiple world record holder April Choi – best known in the record-breaking community for her world-class whip-cracking talents! From the longest whip to the fastest whip, and all the various niche whip-cracking and even fire-breathing related stunts in between, April would put Indiana Jones to shame if it ever came down to a head-to-head contest.

A NASA engineer by trade, April uses actual rocket science to break world records – tune in to hear Josh & Sam just about manage to keep up with her geekily impressive explanations.

Plus, we delve into the archives to chat about our favourite Olympic World Records, and Josh reveals what happened next after taking one slurp too many of Pepper X, the world's hottest sauce, in the previous episode. Mild spoiler alert: it involves a petrol station and a very, very wet t-shirt.

Thanks for listening, and please get in touch with any world record stories you'd like to share with us!
