WORLD RECORD! 30:01:44

The longest interview in the world!

The journalist Mads Andersen (to the right) and interviewee Hans Olav Lahlum broke today the previous record for interview that was for 26 hours and 4 seconds.

Hans Olav Lahlum is an author, historian, writer, chess player and politician so there were many subjects to talk about. This shot is taken after 28 hours 41 minutes and 56 seconds.

I followed the interview for some minutes and there was no babble, but sharp talk about politics in USA in the fifties interrupted by some personal questions now and then, some interesting, some just to try to get him to tell private stuff. I'm impressed that he managed to answer with intelligence and integrity even if he must have been exhausted!
