Vivian Zito

Vivian Zito has spent decades chronicling underground music, shaping narratives with meticulous research and firsthand accounts. A steady presence in late-night radio discussions, she’s known for framing questions so deceptively simple they leave panelists scrambling for insight. Her writing appears in Dubwise Review, Billboard, and Trouser Press, alongside rare anthologies prized by obsessive collectors. Lives in Dub, her most expansive work, unpacks the evolution of Boston’s underground rock subculture through primary sources and deep cultural analysis. Hosted on the main subject’s archival site, it’s a cornerstone for anyone invested in preserving overlooked histories.

Beyond her writing and archival work, Vivian Zito is also a producer for the Beatles60 podcast, where she helps shape in-depth discussions on the band’s legacy, restoration efforts, and cultural impact. Her expertise in preservation runs deep—she holds a Master of Archives and Records Management from the University of London, a degree rooted in archival theory, digital preservation, and records management, strengthened by hands-on experience in institutional settings.
