Does a world record exist for the longest live audio webcast by a
single individual, IE x number of hours stayed awake behind the
microphone on Internet radio? If so, what is the record? I am aware
such a record exists for conventional radio but not whether one exists
for an Internet audio live webcast.

Request for Question Clarification by mvguy-ga on 05 Jun 2003 20:58 PDT

Since there is no listing in the Guinness recordbook, what kind of
proof would you need that something is a webcast record?

On May 28, 2001, Glen Jones broke a world radio record with a 100-hour
stint, as detailed on this page:

As you note, there's a box at the bottom of the page thanking a
company for the streaming video.

The following page confirms that this was shown on streaming video:

What additional proof would you need that this radio record is also
the longest one-person webcast?

Thanks!

Since Guinness doesn't have a listing for a webcast record, it may be
that no such record exists. It certainly seems clear that webcasting
of the radio stint did occur, so I suppose all that remains to be
clarified is whether a video of a radio event would be considered by
guinness to be a webcast record, or whether they would see a dedicated
webcast only event as a separate record.
