About us
When the 50th episode of the Sheffield's Hidden Gems podcast (https://bit.ly/3KPaIdd) was recorded in early July 2025, it was an incredible milestone for a podcast launched in a challenging time for travel and hospitality businesses globally. Incredible because it was the first time recording in front of a live audience with guests from two organisations.
The occasion was made super special as listener feedback confirmed the podcast episodes were informative and insightful to vistors to the city of Sheffield as well as local residents who discovered 'hidden gems' among those featured.
