Upcoming Sessions
From Archives to Airwaves: How a History Major Found a Future in Video and Podcasting
Nov. 12, 2026
12:30 p.m.
Please register to attend to receive the Zoom link.
Why is a VCU history major working at Spotify and what was his path to get there? How can VCU Libraries help facilitate cross-disciplinary exploration? Nick Kosut, ‘10 B.A./H&S, will be in conversation with retired broadcaster and reporter Diane Walker (NBC12 On Your Side and WRLH Fox News at 10) and Oscar Keyes, head, Creative Technologies and Scholarship at VCU Libraries.
At Spotify, Nick is the lead video engineer for Spotify Studios, where he designs, develops and maintains production infrastructure across their global studio network. He currently works on Amy Poehler’s “Good Hang” and “The Bill Simmons Podcast,” as well as video support for music initiatives.
These Community Zooms are at 12:30 p.m., so grab some lunch and join us online.
Guidelines
Prior to joining a session, attendees are encouraged to check that Zoom is working properly on their computers or devices by testing it at https://zoom.us/test.
At the start of every session, attendee’s microphones will be muted. This allows everyone to hear the organizers and presenters clearly. Attendees will be invited to unmute their microphones and speak at different times during the session.
If you have questions or comments while others are speaking, you can type them in the chat.
As at physical events, attendees are asked to help make sessions inclusive of all participants by using respectful language and allowing others to speak, even if they disagree with viewpoints being expressed.
VCU Libraries reserves the right to remove attendees from sessions for disruptive behavior.
For special accommodations, or to register offline, please contact Ryan Larson, event manager, rbpander@vcu.edu or 804-828-0593.
