About Alison
Alison Innes is a researcher, podcast producer, and storyteller who believes that our best conversations help us better understand each other—and ourselves. She is passionate about the power of podcasts to create space for authentic, ethical, and vulnerable storytelling that connects people, ideas, and communities.
As a PhD student in Brock University’s Interdisciplinary Humanities program, Alison researches how podcasts foster trust, create connection, and help people make sense of ideas together. She is especially interested in how podcasting can build relationships, share stories, democratize knowledge, and invite more people into conversations that matter.
Whether she’s researching, producing, or holding space for conversations, Alison is guided by a simple belief: that when we share knowledge with curiosity, generosity, and care, we create opportunities to better understand each other.
