About Matt
Matt Jolley is a national Edward R. Murrow Award–winning broadcast journalist who works as a host, writer, and narrator. His voice has carried across television, radio, podcasts, and some of the world’s biggest live events.
In addition to his broadcast work, Matt is passionate about aviation and entertains some of the largest airshow audiences anywhere—including Pacific Airshow in Huntington Beach and Australia’s Gold Coast, plus America’s Airshow at Miramar and major military and civilian events across the globe.
In 2021, he joined the broadcast team for Pacific Airshow on Hulu, which went on to become the #1 live-streamed event on the platform two years in a row. Matt also co-created SHOW CENTER: The Airshow Podcast, winner of a Platinum Pinnacle Award from the International Council of Air Shows and featured prominently in Netflix’s 2025 summer hit Air Force Elite – Thunderbirds. His work in the airshow industry has also earned him both the ICAS Pinnacle Award and a Special Achievement Award.
When he’s not on the mic, Matt calls Fair Chance Farm home, where he looks after vintage de Havilland airplanes and one very old tractor.
