Alison is an award-winning producer who fell in love with audio stories during long commutes in L.A. She produces "Good Citizen with Ted Roosevelt V," a podcast from the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library and the Future of StoryTelling. She's also an Asst. Producer on Pretend, a true crime podcast about con artists.
Alison spent 2021-22 as Sr. Producer, Audience Engagement for the podcasts "The Purple Principle" & "My Body Odyssey," managing everything from guest-booking to web content; episode launches to marketing. Before that, she produced and edited episodes of the weekly program "With Good Reason," which airs nationally on public radio. Working closely with Mo Rocca at CBS, Alison produced and edited chart-topping "Mobituaries" podcast episodes about late greats Laura Branigan and Sammy Davis, Jr. And in April 2019, she completed the NEH-grant-funded 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 to critical acclaim. And Alison first teamed up with documentary rockstar Erin Lee Carr on her feature directorial debut, "Thought Crimes: the Case of the Cannibal Cop" before also 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, as well as the American history podcast "Backstory." She graduated magna cum laude with an MFA in Integrated Media Arts from Hunter College in 2008. Then, when accepted as a student of the competitive Transom Story Workshop, she wrote, recorded, and edited a personal audio essay, "Leaving Los Angeles," which won the 2015 Miller Audio Prize from The Missouri Review.
In her spare time (?!?), Alison is writing a children's TV series pilot called "What's Ewan Doin'?", and strategizing about bringing New Jersey Public Radio back to NJ. She once spent a year as Drew Barrymore's personal assistant and a month walking across Northern Spain, but currently spends too much time at a desk in her Jersey Shore home.
