Juancito Earns Guinness World Record for World’s Longest-Running Podcast Hosted by a Single Person

Juancito has earned his place in the history books…

The Venezuelan comedian and lawyer successfully completed the world’s longest-running podcast hosted by a single person, a 43-hour marathon of live streaming from his byJuancitoTV channel on YouTube.

JuancitoWith the feat, Juancito becomes the first person to face and endure a challenge of this magnitude alone, pushing the podcast format to the limits and rewriting what it means to sustain a conversation.

More than 500,000 people tuned in throughout the live broadcast across seven continents, turning the achievement into a global phenomenon and a celebration of Latin talent.

The official attempt was approved by Guinness World Records and is now in the process of submitting documentary evidence for final validation.

From La Industria Bakery in the heart of Miami, more than 45 guests sat in front of his microphone over two and a half days of continuous conversation.

Among them were Wisin, Jay Wheeler, Marko, Piso 21, Luis Chataing and Nacho La Criatura, figures who not only joined the challenge but also contributed perspective, rhythm, and weight to the content.

But the only constant voice, without pauses or relief, was Juancito’s. What began as an out-of-the-box idea ended up becoming a collective experience that redefines what a podcast can be.

But the true power of this feat isn’t just in the numbers or the scope. It’s in what it represents. It’s a historic achievement for the Latino community, because no one has ever done it before. This record not only breaks individual barriers, but also highlights the creativity, resilience, and execution capacity of Latinos worldwide.

“We set the record. We created the attempt. We executed it. The world record already exists, because we made it possible,” Juancito explains with the same precision with which he crafted every second of the stream.

In an environment saturated with digital noise, Juancito relied on depth, on mental resilience, on the long-form format as an act of cultural presence.
