Radio Presenter Hosts 55-Hour-Long Show To Break The World Record

An Australian radio presenter set a new world record by holding a programme that lasted 55 hours and 26 minutes.

According to Guinness World Records, Mario Bekes (Australia) set a new record for the longest audio-only live stream, which lasted 55 hours and 26 minutes from April 30 to May 1, 2023, in Sydney, Australia.

Mario is well known for his motivational podcast Life on the Battlefield, in which he seeks to educate, share, and bring optimism into people’s life.

The record-keeping organization also noted that in his record attempt, he intended to go further and break a record title to deliver non-stop advice to listeners focused on self-empowerment and progress. Matt Hall and Dan Ramsden (both from the United Kingdom) set the previous record of 53 hours and 1 minute in Bradford, UK, from July 24 to 26, 2020.

Mario is originally from Croatia, and after being mentored by his professor, Clive Smallman, he began his radio career as a presenter on the community radio station Alive 90.5 FM. It was a challenging time for him when he first came to Australia in 1988 because he had no prior ties to or history with the country. Instead of giving up, he discovered his voice through community radio in 2009 and began sharing his unique stories and experiences.
