More About

Kate Mason is a highly respected TV and radio presenter, event host, and columnist. Her love of sport started early, and she even captained the University of Cambridge’s squash club to national finals whilst she was studying English Literature.

She started reporting on squash before joining the BBC, working for BBC Radio London and BBC Radio 5 on their comedy panel show Fighting Talk. She has also worked on ITN, Eurosport, Talksport, beIN Sports, and Sky Sports News.

In 2020 she joined The Football Ramble, a podcast about association football. Alongside this, she presents The Football Ramble Book Club, and the interview show The Drop In, where she interviews guests like former England manager Glenn Hoddle. She released the audio documentary Inside the Qatar World Cup alongside the Football Ramble podcast, and it went on to win a bronze award at the 2023 British Sports Journalism Awards.

In 2024, she anchored TNT Sport’s coverage of England’s test series in India alongside former England player Sir Alastair Cook, before being part of the Discover+ coverage of the 2024 Paris Olympics.

She has achieved many milestones in her career, including being the first woman to present a men’s Test series for UK TV (TNT Sports’ coverage of 2024 India Tour), and was the first broadcaster to be shortlisted for Columnist of the Year at the Sports Journalists’ Association Awards 2024.

Kate has supported a number of charities, including:

– Smartworks: supporting women re-entering the workplace

– Lord’s Taveners: UK youth cricket and disability sports charity

– Ovarian Cancer Action

– The Female Lead: dedicated to increasing the visibility of women’s success stories

Kate has also built a strong speaking career, capable of enthralling any number of people.

Her speaking topics include:

– Women in Sports

– TV Broadcasting and Presenting

– Reporting on Sports

– The Intersection of Culture and Sport
