Questions
Can I cancel any time?
Yes. No contracts, no commitments. Cancel from your account page and your access continues through the end of your billing period.
What happens to my downloads if I cancel?
Any episodes you downloaded while a Collector member are yours to keep. Downloads are DRM-free MP3 files.
Can I give a membership as a gift?
Gift memberships aren’t available yet. A VRV gift card makes a good alternative — it can be spent on any collection in the store.
Is payment secure?
All billing is handled by Stripe. We never see or store your card details.
What is the archive exactly?
Thousands of episodes — mostly from the 1930s to the early 1960s, plus a few later revival series — organized by show and playable right here on the site.
Do downloads expire?
Downloaded files do not expire. Your 50 monthly download credits reset each month — unspent credits do not roll over.
