The Complete Archive of DVDASA is available exclusively via DVDASA.com as a DRM-free digital download (all 200+ hours) or as a limited-edition USB drive housed in a replica of Choe’s spray-painted microphone case. Proceeds benefit the Akira Family Foundation (supporting sex worker health initiatives) and the Choe Center for Unmediated Expression—a new grant for artists working outside traditional media.
A warning on the site reads simply: “None of these people are therapists. None of these ideas are advice. You have been warned.”
Here is the elephant in the room: There is no official re-release. David Choe has publicly stated he wants the show to die. Asa Akira has distanced herself from it in recent years (though she still occasionally nods to it).
Because of this, the archive exists in the shadows. We do not condone piracy, but the reality of digital preservation is that when an artist tries to erase a work of art, the internet steps in.

Warning: Do not pay for this archive. Scammers sell hard drives of "lost DVDASA" on eBay for $200. The archive is free. It is cultural detritus. Money was the thing that ruined the show; don't let it ruin the search.

Because the show is now classified as "orphaned work" (copyright unclear, no active host), the archive lives in three places:
To understand the archive, you have to understand David Choe. In 2010, the rogue artist famously accepted Facebook stock instead of cash for murals at their new headquarters—a gamble that turned him into a multi-millionaire overnight. By 2012, Choe was wealthy, restless, and deeply unmoored. The Complete Archive of DVDASA is available exclusively
He didn’t buy a yacht. He bought a warehouse on Olympic Boulevard and filled it with a half-pipe, a sauna, and a $10,000 Neumann U 87 microphone. Then he called up Asa Akira.
“I wanted to make something that felt dangerous,” Choe once said in a rare interview. “Everything on the radio was fake. Podcasts were becoming corporate. I wanted to hit ‘record’ and not know what would happen.”
What happened was DVDASA—a live-streamed, uncensored audio-visual fever dream. The show’s format was deliberately broken: no call-screening, no commercial breaks, no safe words. Guests ranged from MMA fighter BJ Penn to porn legend Sasha Grey to Choe’s own mother. Topics veered from the philosophy of orgasm to the logistics of smuggling drugs across borders—often in the same sentence.
To understand the archive’s disappearance, you need Episode 73. Warning: Do not pay for this archive
Titled ironically, this episode featured a guest named Jennifer (a porn agent). David Choe, in a manic state, began describing a violent sexual fantasy involving a 14-year-old Korean girl. It was roleplay. It was "edgy." It was also a felony to record.
Asa pushed back. Bobby walked off set. The audio captured the sound of a room realizing they had crossed a line that no Patreon or YouTube monetization could ever return from.
The episode aired live. Within 12 hours, the internet exploded. The Daily Mail picked it up. Anonymous death threats to the sponsors (including Vitamin Water and Adidas) flooded in. Choe went into hiding. The show was deleted.
But the internet never forgets. And it never forgives. And crucially, it never returns the tapes.
