    439 - Bill Cosby.... America's Dad?
    Jan 27 2025

    Comedian, actor, author, and producer Bill Cosby... affectionately nicknamed as "America's Dad" for his portrayal of Dr. Cliff Huxtable on the hit, iconic sitcom, The Cosby Show, has now been accused by over sixty women of rape, drug-facilitated sexual assault, sexual battery, child sexual abuse, and/or sexual harassment. The assaults allegedly began in the mid-1960s, but never got much publicity until 2014. Why?

    Short Suck #26 - Castaway! Stranded on an Island...
    Jan 24 2025

    Can you imagine being stranded for years on a remote uninhabited island with almost nothing but a few simple tools and the clothes on your back? Some people haven't had to imagine this scenario, like Alexander Selkirk, the inspiration for Robinson Crusoe, and Fernão Lopes, who would actually live alone for a total of several decades on the remote Atlantic island of St. Helena. Could you survive like they did?

    438 - The Octopus Murders & Conspiracy
    Jan 20 2025

    Was aspiring investigative journalist Danny Casolaro murdered in his Sheraton hotel room in Martinsburg, West Virginia on August 10th, 1991 because he was very close to exposing a conspiracy involving CIA, DOJ, and Whitehouse players involved in numerous murderous, illegal arms deals, espionage and more as truth? Are there shadowy power players in the highest ranking levels of government who won't hesitate to have anyone who threatens to expose their nefarious wheelings and dealings killed?

Amazing.

This podcast means so much to me. I love Dan and now I adore Micheal McDonald and Pootie and Juju 😂 I have been listening to Time Suck for almost 3 months straight - non stop! It's a fun place to listen to honest points of view and examine our f'd up history so we can learn from the mistakes of others. 10/10 reccomend. Hail Lucifinia!

Hilarious History

Dan Cummins has been one of my favorite comedians for a very long time (at least a decade). After discovering his podcast Timesuck, I binged episode after episode. He dives in to a really interesting part of history, giving his really funny analysis while relaying the story. If you like cynical, dark humor and like learning about historical events and people, Timesuck is the podcast for you. I'd recommend starting at the beginning and working your way through, as Dan often refres to original characters which you will not understand without hearing a previous episode. This shouldn't take you out of the story if you have not listened to every episode, but if you know the character, you will have much more fun.

Thanks for being awesome Master SuckLord, keep up the great work.

Also, if you liek this podcast try out the other Bad Magic productions. Is We Dumb? Dan pairs up with another comedian Joe Paisley and is about the stupidity of humanity today, and is great if you also think humans are dumb. Scared To Death, Dan cohosts with his wonderful wife, Lindsey, to tell scary stories, guaranteed to creep you out or at least make you double check under the bed before turning out the light.

Happy Listening!
