Oddity Archive
The Oddity Archive is a web series that revolves around the "cultural dustbin", especially as it pertains to media. The Archive also functions as an actual archive of sorts, with a modest collection of off-air Betamax and VHS recordings (about 400 total as of June, 2014). There's also a decent collection of ephemeral video, "ripoff" and "drugstore" LP's/cassettes/8-tracks, as well as (working) obsolete technology.

What people are saying
Updated nightlyPeople have a neutral-to-positive opinion of this long-running web series where host Ben Minnotte digs through obscure media and obsolete tech. The show’s originality and unique visual style are universally praised, with the concept of the Archive itself being a big hit. The main sticking point is the host himself, with many finding Ben Minnotte’s presentation a bit divisive, even as they enjoy the fascinating subject matter he covers.
