Season 6

1. How I Spent My Summer IV (Ben Vs. Laserdisc Audio & Turntable Tune-up)

2017-07-06 · 28m

12 inches of Archivian goodness!

2. Record Ripoffs Vol. 7 (Revenge of the 70's!)

2017-07-20 · 36m

What’cha doin’ on your rump? Hopefully, you’re watching this episode!

3. Elvis Has(n't) Left The Building (Elvisploitation)

2017-08-03 · 35m

A King-sized episode for a King-sized anniversary. Of course, we can't play any actual Elvis, so let's look at some of the cash-ins based around the man.

4. Tape Baking (A Quasi-Documentary on Sticky-Shed Syndrome)

2017-08-17 · 34m

A cooking show—Archive style.

5. LaserKaraoke Vol. 5 (+ assorted VHS & VCD Karaoke)

2017-08-31 · 42m

New from Sing Alone Video!

6. Playtape & Aroma Disc (or, The Anti-Audiophile Files)

2017-09-14 · 27m

I was burning incense on not-quite vinyl (while listening to Playtapes) before you were. Take that, hipsters.

7. As Seen On TV! (Mail-Order & Infomercial-Style Commercials)

2017-09-28 · 27m

This offer will expire without notice! Order now!

8. Ben's Palm PDA's (& Camera "Spy" Glasses)

2017-10-12 · 28m

A double (if not triple) dose of failure.  You know you love it.

9. "Telecine" Film Transfer (A Nightmare In Celluloid) (Halloween Special 2017)

2017-10-26 · 31m

The scariest (in the existentialist sense, at least) Archive Halloween to date!

10. VHS Vault Vol. 12 (Child Safety Videos)

2017-11-09 · 29m

Let’s reminisce about the great bully/child abductor epidemic of the ‘90’s.

11. The Max Headroom Incident Revisited (30 Years On)

2017-11-22 · 21m

The Archive returns to its deepest roots (largely because it was convenient).

12. Dynagroove & Friends (Vinyl Oddities)

2017-12-07 · 28m

Oddity Archive® Vinyl: Now 50% lighter and with 50% more foreign debris!

13. Christmas Special 2017 (Ben's Christmas Clunkers)

2017-12-21 · 38m

Broken equipment, bad records and loopy videos—in other words, your standard Archive Christmas.

14. Phoney Nostalgia

2018-01-04 · 21m

No fees! No contracts! No service! Dial 1-800 ARCHIVE and save 0%!

15. Ben's Random Audiocassette Haul #2

2018-01-18 · 39m

More hissy (and at times, indecipherable) goodness from the deepest, darkest depths of the Archive.

16. Ben's Music "Career", Vol. 1 (The Outsider years, Pt. 1)

2018-02-01 · 39m

Bring your earplugs! And, no, this isn’t false modesty—these recordings are pretty harsh (in every meaning of the word).

17. Dolby Noise Reduction (The Hard Way)

2018-02-15 · 19m

This is what happens when Benny-boy’s control-freak tendencies get the best of him. Honestly, it’s not too terrible. Shame the product is mediocre.

18. Laserdisc, Vinyl & Cassette Computer Programs

2018-03-01 · 22m

The Archive sets sail for the United Kingdom in search of some unusual computer storage and sharing methods—we weren’t disappointed.

19. VHS Vault Vol. 13 (Movin' Out)

2018-03-15 · 27m

No Billy Joel songs were harmed in the making of this episode.

20. Silent-Era Talking Pictures

2018-03-29 · 22m

These talking pictures will never catch on…come to think of it, these didn’t.

21. Vinyl Potpourri

2018-04-12 · 27m

Funny how a little kiddie music, a little commercialism and a heaping helping of Easy Listening stewed in someone’s garage for 40+ years equals such a lovely sonic bouquet.

22. Loudness Wars

2018-04-26 · 23m

Finally! An Archive episode with true A E S T H E T I C S!

23. Ben Vs. The Reel-To-Reel (Round 2)

2018-05-10 · 22m

…because the first reel-to-reel worked so well.

24. Local Flavor (Part 1: Nostalgia)

2018-05-24 · 30m

The Archive is getting ready to leave Beautiful Downtown Aurora. Better look at some of our local stuff before we go.

25. Local Flavor (Part 2: Anti-Nostalgia)

2018-06-07 · 33m

Let’s close our Beautiful Downtown Aurora years without any tears (maybe).
