August 15th, 201327 min

Seeing as the Archive somehow managed to hit the 30 episode mark, it seemed like a good time to throw a nice, little (tax-deductible) party. Plus, Ben sings a viewer poll-selected song (a move that was instantly regretted by all who voted).

Covert broadcasts...and how to decode them (your results may vary).

7. 8-Tracks (or, The Care & Feeding Of Your 8-Track)

September 20th, 201316 min

And Ben thought it would just be another cool toy for his collection. How naive...

Come visit the Archive Children's Disco before it's condemned!

Forced to discuss his fourth knockoff Disco record in a row, Ben has a slight meltdown.

11. Format Wars Vol. 2 (Pre-Betamax)

November 7th, 201314 min

VHS vs. Beta? How 1977...

12. VHS Vault Vol. 4 (VCR Games)

November 21st, 201322 min

Ben's still having nightmares about being forced to play charades with Rich Little.

13. QUBE Interactive TV

December 5th, 201322 min

An interesting, but (unsurprisingly) failed, early attempt at multimedia interactivity.

December 19th, 201325 min

Have you ever wanted to make "melons" in real estate? If so, you've come to the right place!

16. Industrial Musicals (or, The Archive Sells Out!)

January 16th, 201429 min

...because salesmen need the comfort of knowing that their product is truly the answer to all problems (consumerist OR existential).

17. Educational Film Salute (or, The Stock Footage Special!)

January 23rd, 201417 min

Don't screw with Jam Handy!

18. Teknikel Diffikultees

February 20th, 201424 min

If V.D. really is for everybody, why don't I have it?

20. Interstitials

March 6th, 201418 min

...because only Ben would be stupid enough to devote an entire regular Archive episode to between-show filler.

21. A Tour of the Archive (or, roll up for the Magical, Mysterious Archive Tour)

March 20th, 201438 min

Alternate Title: Why Ben should never make a full "behind-the-scenes" episode. Alternate Title #2: Ben stammers for 38 minutes. Alternate Title #3: Why Ben will never get a date.

22. More Record Rip-Offs

April 3rd, 201431 min

The Archive gathers together all your favorite '70's hits--then realizes that the major labels, the RIAA, etc. would have our nuts in a sling over it. More ripoff records it is then! All 70's edition!

23. Test Cards (and Patterns)

April 17th, 201414 min

Wait, there's a logic to all this?
