Episodes
Episode 1
Microbroadcasting (or, Oddity Archive Goes Part 15)
The Archive is back on YouTube! But, not without (desperately) seeking out some alternatives in the meantime.
Episode 2
Stereo Test Records (or, The Official Archive Stereo Test)
Today's burning question: Is it pronounced "stare-eo" or "steer-eo"?
Episode 3
Nanny Boxes (TV Content Filters)
Naughty words WITHOUT Oddity Archive® – 22 Naughty words WITH Oddity Archive® – 21
Episode 4
LaserKaraoke Vol. 3 (& VCD Karaoke Vol. 1)
The 3rd annual Archive LaserKaraoke Party is on (sort of)!
Episode 5
CB Radio (or, Gonna Blow Your Doors In, Chicken Inspector!)
Breaker for a short-short. This is the Oddity Archive. What's yer handle, good buddy?
Episode 6
VHS Vault Vol. 7 (It's My Party and I'll Sigh If i Want To)
Oddity Archive®: Also available for birthday parties, weddings and bar mitzvahs.
Episode 7
Record Rip-offs Vol. 5 (Pickwick: Picked-Over)
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.
Episode 8
Fisher-Price PXL 2000 Camcorder (Halloween Special 2015)
Oddity Archive: Now in high-pile carpetvision!
Episode 9
VCR Ephemera
VCR Ephemera, or, Oddity Archive for beginners.
Episode 10
Action Max (VHS Video Game Console)
I got a message from the Action Max. “I’m crappy. Hope you’re crappy, too.”
Episode 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.
Episode 12
Ben's Holiday Grab Bag (Christmas Special 2015)
Some of you aren't singing. Don't think I can't tell.
Episode 13
VCR Rabbit (or, Microbroadcasting Vol. 2)
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.)
Episode 14
Capacitance Electronic Discs (or, CED's)
Movies pressed on records? Should've waited for the 21st century (the hipsters would love it).
Episode 15
VHS Vault Vol. 8 (More VCR Games)
Lots of effort for little (or no) reward? Sounds about right for the Archive.
Episode 16
Prevue Channel(s)
The Oddity Archive® keeps you up to date with what’s hot—as long as the system doesn’t crash—again.
Episode 17
Airline Safety Videos
Dramamine? Check. Airsick bag? Check. My confidence? Nope.
Episode 18
Ham Radio (A Beginner's Perspective)
...or, Ben vs. Another Expensive Hobby or, Ben cures the hams or, Ben was already a total ham. Why make it worse?
Episode 19
Calibration & Test Laserdiscs
The Oddity Archive® strives to provide the best and latest in home theater tune-ups. They still make laserdiscs, right?
Episode 20
Adult Party Albums
The most risque episode of the Archive since...the last one.
Episode 21
Disposable DVD's (DIVX & Flexplay)
The Archive attempts to preserve some (intentionally) disposable culture. It was inevitable.
Episode 22
Commodore 64
It’s the 100th episode of the Archive and the expectations are high. Guess we better do something good and commercial.
Episode 23
VHS Vault Vol. 9 (Your New Computer & You)
Can you really become “techno-hip” all because of a computer chip?
Episode 24
VHS Game Consoles Vol. 2 (Captain Power & Interactive Vision)
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).
