This week's guest is the sports journalist Kate Mason and Kate has nominated Centre Court, at the All England Lawn Tennis Club in Wimbledon as her Ground Jewel.

Kate is a fantastic guest and heroically joined us the morning after the Sports Journalism Awards where it's fair to say a good time was had by all.

The conversation was fun and wide ranging. The traditions, the queue, the roof, the royal box, Kate's childhood fascination with Pete Sampras. We covered it all.

An episode not to miss.
