Remember receiving cassette tapes or CDs in the mail and paying just a penny for them? Only to be hounded every month to buy more at the regular club price? If so, you probably remember the names Columbia House and BMG. If you don't, and you would like to learn how your parents got their music delivered through the mail, this is the episode for you.
In this episode, host Milo Denison revisits the glory days of mail-order music, when a penny could buy a stack of albums and a long-term commitment hidden in the fine print. All for the low, low price of one cent. Terms and conditions apply.
