Emmanuel Agyemang conducted interviews for 37 hours and 44 minutes when the Guinness World Record attempt was called off. Braa Emma's marathon was expected to last for an impressive 80 hours.

This is quite close to the current record held by Rob Oliver, who did it for 37 hours, 44 minutes, and 17 seconds in May 2022.

Oliver's record was achieved through his podcast "Perspectives on Healthcare," during which he interviewed 137 individuals on topics related to quality healthcare and healthcare heroes.
