Judged by a panel of leaders from across radio and audio, and this year selected from more than 200 entries and nominations, the annual ReelWorld Radio Academy 30 Under 30 has become established as one of the great honours of a young audio professional's career.

The 2022 list features people in a wide range of roles across the industry, including presentation, production, commercial, engineering, journalism, digital and station management.

Steve Parkinson, chair of judges for 30 Under 30, said:

“This group of extraordinary people demonstrates once again that radio and audio is the most appealing of industries in which to build a career. Year after year, hundreds of young people apply to show off their skills and passion for a range of audio roles — from presenter and engineer to producer, podcaster, journalist and more. The industry is thriving like never before with impressive Rajars and an explosion in creative podcasts. It's a privilege to chair such a prestigious and diverse panel of industry specialists and professionals who have the near impossible task of whittling the scores of inspiring entries down. We could have easily awarded 60 or more places. Huge congratulations to all 30.”

Isle of Wight Radio managing director, Claire John, said:

“Oli joined Isle of Wight Radio in 2018 after completing his Multi-Media Journalism Degree at Bournemouth University. Oli has embraced local radio and has developed his skills on air, online and in the field. We are all very proud of Oli, he is a true credit to the business and really deserves this recognition.”
