‘Hard work, no pay; best job I ever had.’ How retirement led to a successful podcast for this 71-year-old
Sharon and Tom Scanlan are photographed in their Toronto home on Sept 19, 2022. Fred Lum/The Globe and Mail. The two were looking for something to do in their retirement so they began a podcast in June 2021. Called Hidden Gems Toronto, the podcast looks to introduce listeners to people and places that fly under the radar, but have interesting stories to tell. They record their podcast in another room but edit and often rehearse their script in their kitchen.
