On time with The Masters at Augusta this weekend, we go international as we introduce Gabriel Roux, the official photographer for the LPGA and NIKON Mexican Ambassador.

At the present time, for many, finding a job straight out of University is easier said than done. Especially a job that you love.

However, it is very much the story of Fraser Read at AFC Bournemouth. We sat down with him to discuss his love for sport, becoming part of the AFC Bournemouth's marketing team and what advise he would give to people in education. 

You can expect your usual sports chat and career advice for becoming a Producer in sport - but most of our chat this week is about Women In Sport. This topic has seen a lot more media attention in recent months, and quite rightly so. Our guest, Claire Taylor, tells us what it is like working in an industry heavily dominated by men, and what more we can all do to create these pathways for girls. 

Prince Harry, David Beckham, Jessica Ennis Hill, and Novak Djokovic, what do they all have in common? Graeme Spink, former TV Director at Sky, has produced shows with them - and that's just a normal day when at Sky! 

Join us for an in-depth discussion on finding out what it takes to become the Director of one of the world's largest broadcasting companies, and how you can start a career just how Graeme did it.
