Alise Ojay has been interviewed several times on BBC Radio 4 in the UK: twice on Today, BBC Radio 4's flagship news and current affairs programme (link below), and also on You and Yours, Radio 4's consumer affairs programme. Alise has been interviewed for Morning Edition on NPR (National Public Radio) in the USA (link below), on ABC in Australia, and on Radio New Zealand. In addition she has given numerous interviews on local radio stations throughout the UK and internationally.

News about Singing for Snorers has been reported on various television programmes in the UK, the USA, and by Globo TV in Brazil (see YouTube video below). Back in 1999 news spread that Alise had been granted funding by the Northcott Devon Medical Foundation to conduct a pilot trial and was recruiting subjects. The story of the planned trial was featured positively on the BBC TV programme Watchdog Healthcheck. 14 years later, the publication of the Royal Devon & Exeter NHS hospital's research into Singing for Snorers (published 2013) even provided the basis for one of the storylines in an episode of Holby City, the BBC medical drama, broadcast in Spring 2014. Reuters also covered the story and in September 2014 Singing for Snorers was featured in an episode of Hirschhausens Quiz des Menschen broadcast on ARD in Germany.

In November 2015 the BBC1 magazine programme The One Show broadcast the story of one woman who successfully used Singing for Snorers to treat her snoring problem. The BBC sought out someone who was highly motivated to reduce their snoring and willing to try the Singing for Snorers exercises. They found Collette who wrote the following after completing the programme:

"Alise's Singing for Snorers programme was a very different and yet most interesting and fun thing to do. At first I wondered how it might help, but as time went on, it did help. I found myself singing not only for the exercises in her booklet/CD but also for fun and I still hum some of the tunes today.. some are very catchy !! 15 minutes per day was a commitment, but as I got used to the tunes and sounds, I was able to play the CD and potter about the house as I sang, so it didn't take up too much of my time, once I had learnt each new module.

As we reached the end of my programme, the recording showed us that I hardly snored at all. A marvellous result." (Collette Lord)

Numerous articles have been written about Singing for Snorers in UK broadsheet newspapers, in magazines, and in international publications as a result of the pilot and clinical trials and also when a customer in his 80s travelled to the UK from Arizona in the United States to thank Alise for creating the exercises which freed him from his CPAP.
