3 - Elvis Has(n't) Left The Building (Elvisploitation)
Air Date: 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.

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

A double (if not triple) dose of failure. You know you love it.
9 - "Telecine" Film Transfer (A Nightmare In Celluloid) (Halloween Special 2017)

The scariest (in the existentialist sense, at least) Archive Halloween to date!
10 - VHS Vault Vol. 12 (Child Safety Videos)
Air Date: November 9, 2017
Let’s reminisce about the great bully/child abductor epidemic of the ‘90’s.

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)
Air Date: February 1, 2018
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)
Air Date: 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.
18 - Laserdisc, Vinyl & Cassette Computer Programs

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

Air Date: March 15, 2018
No Billy Joel songs were harmed in the making of this episode.
20 - Silent-Era Talking Pictures
Air Date: March 29, 2018
These talking pictures will never catch on…come to think of it, these didn’t.
21 - Vinyl Potpourri
Air Date: 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.
22 - Loudness Wars
Air Date: April 26, 2018
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)

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

Air Date: June 7, 2018
Let’s close our Beautiful Downtown Aurora years without any tears (maybe).
