Longest Radio Interview World Record Attempt w/ Jamie Skinner and Meg Abernethy-Hope

On Saturday 12th (and hopefully Sunday 13th) September Jamie Skinner and Meg Abernethy-Hope will be sitting down for a very long 31+ hour chat, in the hope of breaking the Guinness World Record for Longest Radio Interview. Tune in via Somer Valley FM - https://somervalleyfm.co.uk/ - from 9am on the 12th to hear them cover a wide range of topics with increasing attempts to have them make sense as the hours go on.

Throughout the broadcast money will be raised for the pair's chosen charities; homelessness and social outreach charity BillyChip (selected by Meg) and youth mental health charity Beyond (chosen by Jamie). The total raised will be split evenly between both charities.
