Archive 81 is a horror podcast created by Daniel Powell and Marc Sollinger. Presented as found footage, it follows Dan (voiced by Powell), an archivist tasked with restoring the audio recordings of a young woman named Melody Pendras (Amelia Kidd) during her stay in an ancient building.[5]

The series premiered April 16, 2016, with its third and final season concluding on October 5, 2018. Each season consisted of ten episodes, although the series also consists of two miniseries, the two-episode The Golden Age released in 2017 between seasons 2 and 3, and the three-episode Left of the Dial released in 2019 after the conclusion of the main show. A television adaptation of the same name premiered on Netflix in January 2022.
