Archive 81 is a found footage horror podcast about ritual, stories, and sound.
It has released three seasons and two miniseries, with more to come.
I don’t know that I like Archive 81 so far.
I like that it questions the idea of the listener as just an observer, or a participant in a story. There are paths that it goes down that are certainly unique in this regard. But I feel like it aims really high and maybe it NEEDS more seasons than just season 1 to hook someone. I pushed through season 1, thought it was interesting, but didn’t end up really getting hooked enough to want to actively listen.
The meta is interesting as well, implying that the line for the listener is being crossed by addressing the listener as someone who could potentially participate. The whole concept is interesting. I just don’t know if it… works for me.
I actually listened to it ages ago and forgot to review it. so. oops
