Alison produced and edited two episodes of the award-winning, chart-topping podcast, "Mobituaries" with Mo Rocca and CBS. 
From Season 2: 
The St. Louis Blues hockey team had the worst record in the NHL in January 2019, before adopting the 1982 hit song "Gloria" as their anthem. 6 months later, they won the Stanley Cup. Many of their fans had no clue that the woman who sang that song died in 2004. This is her story.

And Season 1:
From the age of three, Sammy Davis, Jr. did it all better than anyone else – singing, dancing, acting, even gun spinning. Mo talks to friends and family about what drove Sammy to keep performing, even after a horrific accident that nearly ended his life. Featuring Carol Burnett, Chita Rivera, Kim Novak, and Dionne Warwick.


Alison produced and edited 3 hour-long audio documentary episodes on the NEH-grant-funded series, "Voices of Vietnam," for the radio program, "With Good Reason."

Here are Episodes 3 & 4: "Women of War", featuring women's experiences at home and in Vietnam, and "A Lost Homeland," on the Fall of Saigon and the subsequent immigrant experience in America.

Alison was the Associate Producer of the monthly radio program, "Oxide." This episode, about focusing on happiness rather than GDP to determine the success of a nation, is one of her favorites:

Alison won the 2015 Miller Audio Prize from the Missouri Review for a personal audio essay about her life in Hollywood: 

Alison produced this piece on Cape Cod for WCAI's Creative Life series. 
The Falmouth Senior Center poetry group hosted a public event to read their work. But it turned out to be less about sharing their artistry and more about the joy of expressing themselves in a whole new way.

In 2014, Alison was chosen by the Journalism Center on Children and Families to contribute to their project, "LifeLines: Stories From The Human Safety Net."  This is a story of hope, abuse, love, poverty, support, public systems, and a mother and daughter.  
(Note: It needs music!)
