Kevin Allison is the creator and host of the hit podcast, RISK!, where people tell true stories they never thought they’d dare to share. Since its 2009, RISK! has produced nearly 1000 episodes. Slate once called RISK! “Hilarious, jaw-dropping and just plain touching.” Kevin is also the founder and lead instructor of The Story Studio, a storytelling school which offers classes and corporate workshops around the world and online. He is also the editor of the book adaptation of RISK!, published by Hachette Books in 2018.

As an actor, writer and comedian, Kevin began his career as a founding member of the legendary sketch comedy group, The State, whose cult classic show aired on MTV from 1993-96. More recently, Kevin has appeared in shows such as Flight of the Conchords, High Maintenance, Cobra Kai, and the films Alma and the Wolf and I'll Take the Hamm. 

This is a great one! Give it a listen.
