With the 2019 tour happening in a few months and with us travelling to most of the shows, we wanted to find new ways of taking you with us on this journey and the podcast will play a big role in this.
The first episode is now available and is the first in a smaller series of podcasts that will lead up to the opening night of the tour in Auckland, New Zealand. There, we will talk about the shows, talk with fans, bring you updates from the ground, talk about a variety of topics and also make a lot of fun.
Your podcast hosts are myself and Joeri. The music is created by LikeASong.
Episode #1 - World Records, Relevance and Heading Down Under
We are joined in this first episode by Jaime, a fan since U2's Super Bowl performance. Jaime works for Guinness World Records, a record list full of U2. We talk about those records, discussing the ones which U2 holds and which they don't. And what do these records mean when it comes to "relevance"? And which fan holds the world record of the largest collection of U2 memorabilia?
You can listen to the podcast on our podcast page, but we are also on Spotify, Google Podcast, Stitcher, TuneIn and soon we will be on Apple Podcasts too. Just search for "U2start". Let us know what you think! We'll be back next month with episode #2
