“It’s unfortunate. I agree with many of the other reviewers at the stories. Interesting but I just couldn’t get over that. It sounded as though they were reading directly from script no inflection intonation or feeling.”

“to the awful narration. Terrible voice who sounds like she’s reading an 8th grade book report. I’m interested in the story, but had to turn off after 10 minutes. A shame.”

“I was bored after the first minute. I feel like you’re just a girl in a room reading a script on white lined paper. it’s alwaynice to add some fluctuation in your voice and Make things more conversational.
You could also speed up your speech a little, I feel like I’m being talked down to because...”Read full review »

“The Alley is everything a good story should be—suspenseful, well-written, and richly populated with memorable and flawed characters. Not since The Wire (on HBO) and When They See Us (on Netflix) have I been drawn into an urban landscape that resonates with such authenticity and nuance. There must...”Read full review »

“This case blew me away. I’m really into true crime but hadn’t heard of it before the Alley. Shannon’s research is extremely thorough. I don’t want to give too much away. Just give it a listen if you’re a true crime aficionado. You won’t be disappointed.”

“This story is at the intersection of race, history, murder and politics that are still present today. The NE section of DC is still policed at a higher rate and the citizens are still feeling impact from past years. The storyteller does an amazing job of weaving present DC with the DC during this...”Read full review »
