The Archive is back on YouTube! But, not without (desperately) seeking out some alternatives in the meantime.
2: Stereo Test Records (or, The Official Archive Stereo Test)
Jul 30, 2015
Today's burning question: Is it pronounced "stare-eo" or "steer-eo"?
3: Nanny Boxes (TV Content Filters)
Aug 13, 2015
Naughty words WITHOUT Oddity Archive® – 22
Naughty words WITH Oddity Archive® – 21

The 3rd annual Archive LaserKaraoke Party is on (sort of)!

7: Record Rip-offs Vol. 5 (Pickwick: Picked-Over)
Oct 8, 2015
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.

VCR Ephemera, or, Oddity Archive for beginners.

Nov 19, 2015
I got a message from the Action Max. “I’m crappy. Hope you’re crappy, too.”
11: Prehistoric Pay-Per-View

You wanted a history lesson, you got a history lesson. Hope you don't mind a really, really long slideshow.
12: Ben's Holiday Grab Bag (Christmas Special 2015)
Dec 17, 2015
Some of you aren't singing. Don't think I can't tell.
13: VCR Rabbit (or, Microbroadcasting Vol. 2)
Dec 31, 2015
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.)
14: Capacitance Electronic Discs (or, CED's)
Jan 7, 2016
Movies pressed on records? Should've waited for the 21st century (the hipsters would love it).
15: VHS Vault Vol. 8 (More VCR Games)
Jan 21, 2016
Lots of effort for little (or no) reward? Sounds about right for the Archive.

Feb 4, 2016
The Oddity Archive® keeps you up to date with what’s hot—as long as the system doesn’t crash—again.

...or, Ben vs. Another Expensive Hobby
or, Ben cures the hams
or, Ben was already a total ham. Why make it worse?
19: Calibration & Test Laserdiscs
Mar 17, 2016
The Oddity Archive® strives to provide the best and latest in home theater tune-ups. They still make laserdiscs, right?
20: Adult Party Albums
Mar 31, 2016
The most risque episode of the Archive since...the last one.
21: Disposable DVD's (DIVX & Flexplay)
Apr 14, 2016
The Archive attempts to preserve some (intentionally) disposable culture. It was inevitable.
22: Commodore 64
Apr 28, 2016
It’s the 100th episode of the Archive and the expectations are high. Guess we better do something good and commercial.
23: VHS Vault Vol. 9 (Your New Computer & You)
May 12, 2016
Can you really become “techno-hip” all because of a computer chip?
24: VHS Game Consoles Vol. 2 (Captain Power & Interactive Vision)
May 26, 2016
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).
