What’cha doin’ on your rump? Hopefully, you’re watching this episode!
6x3 - Elvis Has(n't) Left The Building (Elvisploitation)
August 3, 2017
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.

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

A double (if not triple) dose of failure. You know you love it.
6x9 - "Telecine" Film Transfer (A Nightmare In Celluloid) (Halloween Special 2017)
October 26, 2017
The scariest (in the existentialist sense, at least) Archive Halloween to date!
6x10 - VHS Vault Vol. 12 (Child Safety Videos)
November 9, 2017
Let’s reminisce about the great bully/child abductor epidemic of the ‘90’s.
6x11 - The Max Headroom Incident Revisited (30 Years On)

More hissy (and at times, indecipherable) goodness from the deepest, darkest depths of the Archive.
6x16 - Ben's Music "Career", Vol. 1 (The Outsider years, Pt. 1)
February 1, 2018
Bring your earplugs! And, no, this isn’t false modesty—these recordings are pretty harsh (in every meaning of the word).
6x17 - Dolby Noise Reduction (The Hard Way)
February 15, 2018
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.
6x18 - Laserdisc, Vinyl & Cassette Computer Programs
March 1, 2018
The Archive sets sail for the United Kingdom in search of some unusual computer storage and sharing methods—we weren’t disappointed.

March 15, 2018
No Billy Joel songs were harmed in the making of this episode.
6x20 - Silent-Era Talking Pictures
March 29, 2018
These talking pictures will never catch on…come to think of it, these didn’t.
6x21 - Vinyl Potpourri
April 12, 2018
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.
6x22 - Loudness Wars
April 26, 2018
Finally! An Archive episode with true A E S T H E T I C S!

…because the first reel-to-reel worked so well.
6x24 - Local Flavor (Part 1: Nostalgia)

The Archive is getting ready to leave Beautiful Downtown Aurora. Better look at some of our local stuff before we go.
6x25 - Local Flavor (Part 2: Anti-Nostalgia)
May 31, 2018
Let’s close our Beautiful Downtown Aurora years without any tears (maybe).
