World Records w/ Cameron James

What Shall We Do About...?

Since the dawn of time, people have been setting world records. Well - at least since Guinness World Records claimed the right to adjudicate such matters. There's always been something alluring about holding a world record: to claim that you can be the best person on earth at something. And yet, in more recent years, the world record has lost its sheen. More trivial records have become more common, businesses and brands have sought the glory more than individuals, and questions have been raised over why Guinness are the gatekeepers. So, what shall we do about world records? Comedian and Podcaster Cameron James has always been fascinated by world records, and has even investigated one that didn't appear that it could be true on the ABC podcast Finding Desperado. I connected with Cameron to talk about his discoveries, as well as the process required to actually gain a world record, which is both surprising and controversial.
