In 2026, you can reach into your pocket and access almost any song or album ever created, just in a few clicks. Back in the day, building out your collection meant you actually had to go outside to a store and buy it. The Wherehouse, Sam Goody, HMV…But sometimes, the store came to you. Back when we used to read magazines, there was a company called Columbia House that would put full, 2,3 page ads with a list of albums that they would let us have for a penny…allegedly. We're diving into that as well as other 90s pay-for-play entertainment, The BOX Music Television and 900 numbers. Get into it.


In September, we'll be launching a paid tier of the show for listeners who want an ad-free, extended version of the show. This version of the show will be longer than what will be available in the free feed, you'll get access to the TROY community, and a shoutout on the show as well. Sign up for launch updates at troypodcast.com/newsletter.


If you don't want to join, that's cool, we still love you. And so you know, the free version of the show will not be changing. You don't have to worry about losing anything in terms of the content that we've been offering for the past 5 years, buuuuut you'll have to deal with ads.

If you're enjoying the content that we're making and you're looking for ways to support our independent podcast, here's a little something that you can do:
