Columbia House of Horrors

Columbia House of Horrors

Join Darwin and Cat as they revisit the strange and wonderful world of Columbia House mail-order music. For one penny, millions of kids suddenly had access to stacks of CDs, tapes, and vinyl albums delivered straight to the mailbox. What could possibly go wrong?

The Garbage Barge sails through the golden age of music clubs: the irresistible deals, the tricky fine print, the mysterious monthly selections you never asked for, and the creative ways music lovers tried to outsmart the system.

Along the way, Cat reveals the childhood records she was deeply ashamed of, while Darwin unveils the diabolical plan that freed him from his mounting Columbia House bill. And it worked with BMG too.

If you ever taped a penny to a postcard and hoped for the best, this episode may unlock a few buried memories -- and possibly a lingering balance due.
