Podcast Gets Guinness

garvais.jpgUK podcaster Ricky Gervais and his team have been awarded a Guinness World Record for the most downloaded podcast, gaining an average of 261,670 downloads per episode of The Ricky Gervais Show during its first month. Instead of presenting highlights of previously recorded material, the weekly podcast shows are entirely new material consisting of random and amusing discussions between Ricky, and his friends Karl Pilkington and Stephen Merchant. Garvais joins a strong-groin Indian seeking a push-up record and a loud-clapping 60-year-old Chinese masseur.
