Archie Digest: A Riverdale Podcast

The Chilling Adventures of Archie Digest: A Riverdale/Sabrina Podcast

We're back! It's time to run down a quick checklist of Riverdale season 2 news, including today's breaking news that The CW is developing The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.

This episode is also SUPER ROUGH. The plan is to clean up the audio quality significantly, but right now we are busy with our day jobs and wanted to get this out while the Sabrina news is still fresh. So if you like the raw, uncut energy of...whatever this is, then download it now. Soon, it will be much more shiny.

You should also check out our new Patreon -- you can find it here, and among other things backers can get a monthly, exclusive video podcast DELIVERED ON VHS, and bunches of other perks. 

Archie Digest: A Riverdale Podcast is part of the Emerald City Video family of podcasts.

Hidden Track: A Chat With Marisol Nichols

Just before the season 1 finale, Russ talked with Riverdale's Marisol Nichols about the radical changes made to her character in that episode. Check out the highlights of that conversation here!

Summer School Vol. 1: New Hot Reggie!

Even though we say in the episode that we’re going to try and do it, we don’t have any audio from Craig’s and Russ’s interviews in this episode. To make it up to you, we’ll have a special interviews-only episode next week, complete with exclusive content that HAS NOT RUN anywhere else yet.

We did, however, get to have a great talk about some of the big things going on in the world of Riverdale right now, including the status of season 2, the new schedule, some casting news, the soundtrack, and more.

You can get the soundtrack on Amazon here or on iTunes.

Since Russ is footing the bill for hosting and had to buy some new editing software recently so that he can make all this magic happen quickly and quietly, we’ll probably put together some kind of Patreon so that you can sponsor the show in exchange for swag soon enough. For now, though, if you want to contribute anything and everything, you can do so at Paypal.me/emeraldcityvideo. Anyone who contributes $10 and up will get an 8”x10”, framed original photo of Pop’s Chock’Lit Shoppe, taken by Russ Burlingame during one of our visits to the set of Riverdale.

We've also put together a RedBubble Store at https://www.redbubble.com/people/archiedigest/ where you will be able to get t-shirts, stickers, cell phone cases, and other goods inspired by Riverdale and our show. Currently there's just one design -- #SheriffKiller-- but there's a full complement of new content coming in the next two weeks!

Archie Digest Special #4: Kevin's Guy, Joaquin!

There's no new episode of Riverdale this week, but that wont stop the Archie Digest crew from delivering a new podcast!

This week, Craig and Russ are joined by Rob Raco, who plays Joaquin De Santos on the series.

Also, check out the Emerald City Video Podcast, where Russ and his co-hosts will be doing a "summer of Riverdale, pairing movies whose titles inspired Riverdale episodes with classic teen movies all summer long.

Trust us: There's a LOT of good stuff to come, even if we don't have new episodes of Riverdale just now.

Archie Digest #13: Chapter 13 - The Sweet Hereafter

Whoa. That's a LOT to unpack.

Luckily for us, after this insane finale, we'll have some weeks off to discuss it amongst ourselves and with guests -- because that's right, folks: Archie Digest: A Riverdale Podcast ain't going anywhere.

Archie Digest #12: Chapter 12 - Anatomy of a Murder

Tonight we learned who killed Jason Blossom — but the why will hang over the town for at least another week, along with plenty of new questions raised by a shocking episode of Riverdale.

Chris, Russ, and Craig got together right after the West Coast airing of “Chapter 12: Anatomy of a Murder” to discuss the penultimate episode so big, that it left us wondering what’s left for the season finale.

This is another episode that will probably get an editing tweak when the weekend rolls around and Russ has some time, since we wanted to get it up before tomorrow morning for people eager to talk about the killer. It’s almost 4 a.m. here in New York, so…yeah.

Archie Digest #11: Chapter 11 - To Riverdale And Back Again

SORRY everyone! This episode is SUPER LATE.

The next one will be SLIGHTLY late, as we have to record it after tomorrow's West Coast feed.

Archie Digest Special #3: Hayleau

A new episode!

(Well, not of Riverdale. But of our show.)

A new guest! 

(Well, that one's true: We have a conversation with Hayley Law, who plays Valerie Brown on the series.)

You can check out Hayley's music and more at hayleau.com.

Archie Digest #10: Chapter Ten - The Lost Weekend

Archie, Jughead, Betty, and Veronica fight for their right to party (or, in Jughead's case, not to party) in the latest episode of Riverdale.

This is a rough-cut version of the episode, which features our whole 90-minute live broadcast from YouTube, as well as an 8-minute commentary from Chris Hayner, who couldn't join us this weekend and instead recorded separately in Scotland.

Without Chris, we had our old friend of the show Mimi1019 from Twitter on with us, so give us a listen, give her a follow, all that good stuff.

And, yes, like a thief in the night we will sneak in and replace the rough cut with a finalized version soon, and also change these show notes a bit to reflect that difference.

Archie Digest #9: Chapter 9 - La Grande Illusion

Welcome to Archie Digest: A Riverdale Podcast! We're a podcast about a story about a town, and we're BACK! Things are NORMAL! We're publishing a fully-edited and polished episode right on time as the episode airs...

...this week.

Next week, we'll be down a man as Chris Hayner heads to Europe for a friend's wedding and to take a well-deserved vacation from us harassing him. But we know he'll miss us, deep down.

It's also a bit of an odd episode because Russ hasn't actually seen this episode yet. "La Grande Illusion" was screened at WonderCon, but Russ was still back in cold, cold Syracuse and didn't get to watch. He knows what happened -- just from talking to the others -- but don't be surprised if his livetweet (@russburlingame) takes on a life of its own.
