E2 Stereo Test Records (or, The Official Archive Stereo Test)
unrated2015-07-30 · 24 min

E7 Record Rip-offs Vol. 5 (Pickwick: Picked-Over)
unrated2015-10-08 · 27 min
Recently, we came into a small jackpot of Pickwick albums. Given this label's long-standing history with the Archive, it only seemed appropriate to devote an entire episode to the king of all "drugstore" labels.

I got a message from the Action Max. “I’m crappy. Hope you’re crappy, too.”
E11 Prehistoric Pay-Per-View
unrated2015-12-03 · 20 min
You wanted a history lesson, you got a history lesson. Hope you don't mind a really, really long slideshow.
E12 Ben's Holiday Grab Bag (Christmas Special 2015)
unrated2015-12-17 · 26 min
Some of you aren't singing. Don't think I can't tell.
E13 VCR Rabbit (or, Microbroadcasting Vol. 2)
unrated2015-12-31 · 32 min
The donations were multiplying like, well, rabbits. I figured y'all were trying to tell me something. (Did I really just type "y'all"? Heaven help me.)
E14 Capacitance Electronic Discs (or, CED's)
unrated2016-01-07 · 23 min
Movies pressed on records? Should've waited for the 21st century (the hipsters would love it).
E15 VHS Vault Vol. 8 (More VCR Games)
unrated2016-01-21 · 24 min
Lots of effort for little (or no) reward? Sounds about right for the Archive.
E16 Prevue Channel(s)

The Oddity Archive® keeps you up to date with what’s hot—as long as the system doesn’t crash—again.

Dramamine? Check. Airsick bag? Check. My confidence? Nope.
E18 Ham Radio (A Beginner's Perspective)
unrated2016-03-03 · 23 min
...or, Ben vs. Another Expensive Hobby or, Ben cures the hams or, Ben was already a total ham. Why make it worse?
E19 Calibration & Test Laserdiscs
unrated2016-03-17 · 25 min
The Oddity Archive® strives to provide the best and latest in home theater tune-ups. They still make laserdiscs, right?

The most risque episode of the Archive since...the last one.
E21 Disposable DVD's (DIVX & Flexplay)
unrated2016-04-14 · 29 min
The Archive attempts to preserve some (intentionally) disposable culture. It was inevitable.
E22 Commodore 64
unrated2016-04-28 · 33 min
It’s the 100th episode of the Archive and the expectations are high. Guess we better do something good and commercial.
E23 VHS Vault Vol. 9 (Your New Computer & You)
unrated2016-05-12 · 28 min
Can you really become “techno-hip” all because of a computer chip?
E24 VHS Game Consoles Vol. 2 (Captain Power & Interactive Vision)
unrated2016-05-26 · 29 min
It’s been a long and difficult season. Let’s end it with something fun (if I can figure out how to assemble these toys, that is).
