This week we are joined by our friends / the 16th and 17th best investigative journalists that the ABC has, Cameron James and Alexei Toliopoulos! Their new podcast, Finding Desperado, is based on a fact Cam found in the Guinness Book Of Records, and he's come in to tell us about the origin story of that wonderful, weird book. This is a super fun episode with an array of characters (played by Alexei) and a lot of moments that will make you go "...what??"
