Alison is an award-winning producer who fell in love with audio stories during long commutes in Los Angeles. She most recently produced episodes of the weekly interview show "With Good Reason," which airs nationally on public radio. She rounded out 2019 producing and editing the "Mobituaries" podcast episode "Laura Branigan: Death of a Singer, Life of a Song" for CBS with Mo Rocca, after her success with last season's "Sammy Davis, Jr.: Death of the Entertainer." And in April 2019 she completed the NEH-grant-funded audio documentary series: "Voices of Vietnam" with Virginia Humanities. And yet!: She's not just an audio producer... |
Alison was the Archival Researcher for 2-time Emmy-nominated "At the Heart of Gold: Inside the USA Gymnastics Scandal." She co-produced "I Love You, Now Die: The Commonwealth Vs. Michelle Carter," a 2-part HBO documentary film that premiered at SXSW in March 2019 to critical acclaim. Alison first teamed up with documentary rockstar Erin Lee Carr on her feature directorial debut "Thought Crimes: the Case of the Cannibal Cop" before co-producing the hit film "Mommy Dead and Dearest," all for HBO.
Alison's other accomplishments include credits for films, radio stories, web series, corporate media, and reality TV featured on PBS, Discovery, HGTV, WCAI, Radio Woodstock, and the American history podcast "Backstory." She graduated magna cum laude with an MFA in Integrated Media Arts from Hunter College in 2008. Then, as a student of the competitive Transom Story Workshop, she wrote, recorded, and edited a personal audio essay, "Leaving Los Angeles," which won her the 2015 Miller Audio Prize from The Missouri Review.
In her spare time (?!?), Alison curates a blog of unsent emails called Saved To Draft, is writing a sitcom pilot called "Zen and Jen," and constantly considers launching a podcast about New Jersey. She's lived in NYC and L.A. and once spent a month walking 500 miles across Spain but is currently creating content from the Jersey Shore, often while wrangling a 30-lb baby and a 20-lb cat.
