Guinness: "The Ricky Gervais Show" is World's Most-Downloaded PodcastAuthored by Mark Hefflinger on February 8, 2006 - 3:50am.
London - Ricky Gervais, creator of the BBC series "The Office," and his team have been awarded the Guinness World Record for creating the world's most-downloaded podcast. The podcasts, which consist of random discussions between Gervais and his friends Karl Pilkington and Stephen Merchant, are downloaded an average of 261,670 times per episode, Guinness said. Gervais said Pilkington and Merchant initially wanted to charge a pound for each podcast, but that he refused. "We've had nearly 3 million downloads so far," he said. "It's difficult doing a show with two people who won't talk to me now."
