Wallaceburg man hoping to take home podcast deal in Top Host contest

A Wallaceburg resident is in the running to win a podcast deal produced by iHeartRadio.

According to Brian Legrow, owner of Bayman Shed Works, it all began after he created a TikTok account, which now has over 14,000 followers.

"I get an email from someone from TikTok that says, 'Here's the form. Fill this out. You'd be good at this.' And I said, 'Well, what have I got to lose?' And about six weeks later I get a notification from iHeart that I made the top 100," Legrow explained.

The competition, Top Host, gives the winner a six-episode podcast series produced by iHeart Radio, a $25,000 grand prize, and they will be a guest on an episode of On Air with Ryan Seacrest.

Legrow added that so far he has made it into the top 5, with voting ending on November 12.

"We haven't won the contest yet, but we're really, really excited to be there," said Legrow, who currently sits in third place.

Voting is done online, with Legrow posting updates on his Facebook.
