Welcome to Guinness World Records: Behind The Book
Why grow your fingernails to nearly 30-ft in length? How do you find clothes when you’re over 8-ft tall? Who left skid-marks stretching for 6 miles…?
Find the answers to all your record-breaking questions in Guinness World Records: Behind The Book!
To celebrate the launch of the new Guinness World Records 2020 edition, Editor-in-Chief Craig Glenday shares his favourite stories and anecdotes from his 17 years working on the world’s best-selling annual book. In this new series of weekly podcasts, Craig chooses one record from the new book and reveals the stories behind the superlatives. Could Lee Redmond really survive for a month eating nothing but her 9-m-long fingernails? Can you really build your own prosthetic arm from LEGO bricks? And why did one man cover his entire body head to foot in black tattoo ink?
Craig also takes the opportunity to answer the questions that he gets asked more than any other, such as “What’s the weirdest record you’ve ever witnessed?”, “Who’s the most amazing record-holder you’ve ever met?” and “Can I get a record for this?!”
And if you have any questions of your own, or want to know how to get your name in the famous Guinness World Records books, then just ask Craig! You’ll find him on Twitter @CraigGlenday and @GWR, or search for #GWRPodcast.
