The Venn Dialogues
Join Christine & Jacoby, weekly, as they discuss a wide-range of topics they find interesting. The pair will give their perspective on the topic of the week and then look at the research, facts and literature associated with the topic to see if it expands the conversation. These topics will create a dialogue that encourages our listeners to learn more about the world and ourselves. Listen weekly to find out how you can add to the conversation.

The Venn Dialogues
Don't Try This at Home!!
What would YOU want to be remembered for? Finding the cure for cancer? Solving world hunger? Or how about crushing the most cans of soda WITH YOUR HEAD in 30 seconds? In this episode, we dive into the wild, weird, and truly wonderful world of Guinness World Records. From the tallest stacks to mind-bending physical feats, we explore what drives people to push the limits of human achievement. You'll hear about some of the most bizarre records ever set, how the official verification process works, and why people around the globe are still so fascinated with being “the best” at something.
Whether you're a record-holding legend or just someone who can’t look away from human extremes, this episode is full of jaw-dropping stats, behind-the-scenes stories, and a little inspiration to chase your own quirky goals.
