Guru Productions’ Trevor Cochrane joins Carmen Braidwood and Nic Hayes on The Experts Podcast
Short of Channel Seven’s Rick and Sue here in Perth there isn’t too many people ahead of the next guest on The Experts Podcast that is as well-known on TV. He has been in our gardens, exploring our favourite holiday destinations and in our kitchens. Trevor Cochrane has been making television programs for twenty years now and the work is not drying up he told Nic Hayes and Carmen Carmen Braidwood this week. He has recently signed a new deal with more shows for the Nine Network and it wont stop there.
You get a real sense in the podcast that Cochrane knows he is the luckiest bloke in media getting to produce the television that he does. You can’t fake that kind of enjoyment or energy in the programs that he produces over the timeframe he has produced shows. It truly is the authentic and real Cochrane in every show he explains to the Experts Podcast team as he regales some of the experiences he has had over his career. The other commitment that has kept him at the top is his love of storytelling. Getting behind the backstory of a guest and finding out what really makes them tick is the gold this TV man loves to discover.
It’s a real treat to hear the great storyteller, gardener, adventurer, holiday king and foodie tell his own story and not telling another’s as he is so accustomed to. The team at The Experts Podcast had some inside knowledge because Carmen Braidwood is an employee of Cochrane through Destination WA and has worked with him for years. The behind-the-scenes chat about making television is hilarious and not always the most glamourous as we find out.
“Is there a better voice in Perth media that assures you, tells a better a story, or makes you want to explore a topic more than Trevor Cochrane?” Asks Nic Hayes. Well Carmen Braidwood already knew the answer to that. “He is one of the best and has plenty more shows and series in him.”
Cochrane hosts The Garden Gurus, Destination WA. Explore TV and delish Destinations amongst many others. Guru Productions is Cochrane’s business and he doesn’t just do TV shows. He is involved in commercials and corporate videos.
