Did you ever buy 8 CDs for a single penny? Or receive 10 CDs for the price of one? And did you order them, pay for them, and send in your monthly selection cards via snail mail?
If you have a stack of CDs you didn't ask for from a music club that Parade magazine told you sign up for -- you might be a Xennial. And we are too.
Tune in as Dani revisits, and re-researches, the mail-order music clubs of 90s popularity, including BMG and Columbia House. Learn more about their business models and their eventual decline. Stick around to peruse Dani's personal CD collection, brought to you in part by said music clubs.
