The longest interview

The unusual conversation began on December 11, 2011 at 10:00 and ended on December 12, 2011 at 10:00.

Thus, the interview lasted exactly 24 hours.

Australian radio host Richard Glover asked questions to his fellow countryman, writer Peter Fitz-Simons.

The interview was broadcast on one of Sydney's radio stations.

A huge number of questions were asked in 24 hours: not a single repetition was found.

The compilers of the Guinness Book of Records recorded the achievement.

The journalist and his interlocutor received not only a certificate, but also a sweet prize.
