Trev interviewed on ABC RN about the ‘Kidult’ Trend

I was recently approachedby ABC Radio National and asked if I would be a guest on the show Life Matters, hosted by  Jacinta Parsons.   They were doing a story on Kidults – adults who still enjoy the passions they had as a child.   They were familiar with the extent of my Transformers Collection and the Transformatorium from my appearance earlier this year on Channel 10’s The Project and thought I would be perfect for their show.

The other guest on the show was to be Dr Katriina Heljakka, a researcher in the toyification of culture, toy design and the hybrid and transgenerational dimensions of ludic practices.

Despite being on the radio weekly on The Big DJ Trev Show, I was a little nervous about going on National Radio live on air across the country, especially since I was battling a headcold and didn’t want to sound sick.  However my family assures me I did ok  😉
