Ep 4 - James Tobin

You touched on just earlier the great outdoors.

So you've further expanded what your TV career has looked like.

Is that gig as glamorous as what it looks like? I mean, you just spoke about that it's pretty exciting experiencing and exploring these great places.

And do you get to fly business class? Ha, ha, ha.

So definitely not.

Sadly, those days are gone.

But sitting in an economy seat for 16 hours is worth it if you are ending up somewhere like the last place we flew to was Vancouver.

I mean, that's awesome.

It is such a good job.

What is it that makes it such a good job? Well...

If you love travel, if you love meeting new people, if you love everything that is on that show, then it's phenomenal.

Yeah.

I get paid to travel around the world and do these amazing experiences and show how fantastic it is.

I mean, I remember as a kid watching The Great Outdoors and and just thinking, wow, that's the dream.

And then all of a sudden one day that was me.

So I feel eternally grateful for that.

The team is small.

And really, for me, it's pretty much always the one producer, the one cameraman and me, same people.

And then that comes back and the editor, whose name is Jack, who's up in Brisbane, just manages to take what we've captured and just give it that extra 50%.

He turns it... into such a beautiful show.

I think the camera work is cinematic and the editing is phenomenal.

So hats off to the team.

And I just get to go along for the ride, do the fun stuff, and then I love watching that show go to air and seeing what the other presenters have done.

So I think it is one of the great shows on TV because it's just joyous and fun and, you know, it's hopefully inspiring people to book their next trip.

It's not glamorous.
