on The Glen Jones Radio Programme
Jones attempts to break world record over Memorial Day Weekend with over four days of continous broadcasting!

Glen Jones is about to embark on the most difficult endeavor of his life:
breaking the Guinness World Record for Longest Radio Program. In order to break this record, currently held by Greg Daines of the U.K., Jones must stay awake and continue broadcasting for 73 hour and 33 minutes straight!

This Olympian effort, set to commence on Friday, May 25 at 9am and run through 1PM on Tuesday, May 28, will be webcast and webcammed throughout the world. In order to assist Jones in this grueling, sleep-deprived undertaking, a volunteer army of staff, listeners and IBJ members is now being organized. A campaign of encouraging e-mails, motivational song suggestions and a parking lot rally at WFMU (to be held on Sunday, May 27 from Noon-3pm) are just a few of the events being planned.

In addition, celebrity guests and special on-air moments are also expected. Jones, who cites sheer will and guts as the backbone of this effort, swears, "Failure is not an option. I will live and die on the radio. I shall expose myself like never before. Every emotion and fear will be out there. There will be no escape!" This promises to be an unprecedented event, an effort that will surely secure a place in the history books for Jones, The I.B.J. and WFMU. For further information and updates, visit this page.

For an hour, the WFMU marathon gets turned over to the listeners, as the phone lines get opened for a live radio chat, without moderation. Call in at 201-200-9368 and you'll be put directly on the air, to read that day's paper, discuss issues, make noises or pitch for the marathon.

All times listed are Jersey City time, EST.
