Why Wimbledon means so much to Andrew Castle
Listen now
Description
Think of Wimbledon and the name Andrew Castle won’t be far from your mind.  A former British number one as a player, he took a chance in broadcasting and never looked back - his voice is now one of the most recognisable soundtracks to the British summer. Andrew talks frankly and entertainingly about his early life, how he got his break in tennis, his trials on tour and why making it as a pro from an unlikely background is something he’s still proud of. He also shares how he got his break in TV and looks back on the many highs and lows of a life in TV and radio - like why the stresses of covering news made him quit LBC, and why calling the Wimbledon final is a privilege he'll never take for granted. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
