The Inspiration Dissemination Sound Recordings consist of interviews conducted by the hosts of the Inspiration Dissemination student radio show and broadcast on KBVR-FM. Created in 2012, Inspiration Dissemination is an award-winning weekly program focused on the graduate student experience at Oregon State University. Specifically, the show's hosts speak with current OSU graduate students about their research and their personal journey through graduate school. The collection is comprised entirely of born digital audio files.
Materials in English.
Access .mp3 files of each of the recordings held in this collection are available on site.
Historical Note:
Inspiration Dissemination is a weekly talk radio show airing on Oregon State University's student-run campus radio station, KBVR-88.7 FM, Corvallis. First launched in January 2012 and originally hosted by OSU graduate students Zhian Kamvar and Joey Hulbert, the initial intent of Inspiration Dissemination was to inspire undergraduates to continue their studies in graduate school. Over time the program has shifted its focus more squarely on the graduate student experience. Each episode features a different Oregon State graduate student who discusses their research project as well as their inspiration for choosing their research topic, their student experience, their goals while at Oregon State, and their ambitions following graduation.
Zhian Kamvar - or DJ CATGAG as he is known on the air - is a Ph.D. student in Botany and Plant Pathology. Joey Hulbert, also known as DJ Baby Kangaroo, was a Master of Science student in Botany and Plant Pathology and Wood Science Engineering, who graduated from OSU in 2014 and moved on to Ph.D. studies in South Africa at the University of Pretoria. Kamvar and Hulbert, who met at Oregon State, both had worked in student radio as undergraduates. One of their goals for Inspiration Dissemination was to give their guests an opportunity to explain their research to an audience that was not familiar with their field of study and, in turn, to become more confident in explaining their research to anyone. A secondary objective to the show has been to provide graduate students with experience being interviewed. In 2014 the show received an award, "Most Innovative Radio Program," at the Intercollegiate Broadcasting System Conference.
Co-hosts in addition to Kamvar and Hulbert have included Matthew McConnell, a master's degree student in the history of science; Kristen Finch, a doctoral student in Botany and Plant Pathology; and Adrian Gallo, a master's degree student in Sustainable Forest Management. The show has retained its basic formula for its duration, though over time more emphasis has been placed on guests' personal stories and relatively less time spent on explaining research.
The Inspiration Dissemination Sound Recordings consist entirely of born digital *.mp3 audio files. Each recording documents an episode of Inspiration Dissemination, as originally created and broadcast on KBVR-FM, Oregon State University's student-run radio station.
The sound recordings held in the collection include raw radio broadcasts, post-produced shows, and shows containing music that was played in the background. Post-produced shows, intended for syndication as podcasts, have been edited with music added. Patron re-use of any shows containing music may be restricted by copyright considerations applicable to a given song.
The collection's audio files are not available online; rather they are held on site and are available for use in the SCARC reading room or through other arrangements made with SCARC staff.
Interviews are arranged chronologically by date of interview.
Collection is open for research.
Patron re-use of episodes identified as having been post-produced or containing music may be restricted by copyright considerations applicable to a given song.

Collection materials were transferred by Zhian Kamvar and Matt McConnell to the Special Collections and Archives Research Center on multiple occasions in 2014 and 2015.
Future additions to this collection are anticipated.
An oral history interview conducted with Zhian Kamvar is held in the Oregon State University Sesquicentennial Oral History Collection.
The history of student radio at Oregon State is documented in a number of SCARC collections, including the Jimmie Morris Papers (MSS MorrisJ), the Mike Club Scrapbook and Sound Recordings (MSS Mike), the KOAC Records (RG 015) and the KOAC Photographs (P 207). The Barney Keep Papers (MSS Keep) document the life and work of a KOAC and Oregon State alum who became a legendary commercial broadcaster in the Portland area. A digital exhibit created by the University Archives in 1997 and titled "Music, Markets and Milestones: 75 Years of KOAC Radio" is also available online. Graduate student activities at Oregon State are likewise documented in the Graduate School Records (RG 016) and Photographs (P 067).
