Podcaster sets world record by doing 70 interviews in 56 hours
The attempt raised £5,500 and will become podcast episodes in 2027, as Collard says the challenge was meant to spotlight founder mental health.
- Bristol podcaster Ollie Tiramuragan Collard broke the world record for the longest interview marathon, broadcasting for 56 hours and 44 minutes while interviewing 70 business leaders back to back at Films.
- Collard, who has spent seven years exploring entrepreneurship as co-founder of Founded & Grounded, launched the challenge to support Talk Club after joining the therapy group earlier this year.
- Combat medics Chris and Anna Lee of 1st Defence Medical monitored the event while more than 130 supporters cheered; Collard later said, "They were my guardian angels."
- Guests included a founder dressed as a Power Ranger, while Collard dedicated the effort to his grandfather, David, who died three weeks earlier; his wife, Kat, sat opposite him when he surpassed the previous record.
- The attempt raised $7,360 for Talk Club, with 70 episodes planned for release from 2027; the team seeks funding for a documentary on founder mental health, citing a 2025 Sifted survey showing only 6% of European founders reported no mental health issues.
