    Short Suck #35 - Issei Sagawa: The Unrepentant Cannibal
    Jun 13 2025

    Issei Sagawa aka the Kobe Cannibal, made a living for most of his life off of the infamy he attained... for murdering and then eating a young Dutch woman in 1981, when Issei was thirty-two years-old. Why didn't he spend the rest of his life in prison? And why did he want to eat her in the first place?

    458 - WTFF? The Madness of the Zizian Cult
    Jun 9 2025

    Do you believe that all non-vegans should die? In part for their needless murder of senseless people like.... cows? And in part because their predatory, cruel, EVIL behavior is providing a model for a future AI program to treat humans like a mindless food source once it inevitably takes over the world? If so... you'd make a good Zizian! This is a weird one.

    457 - Samuel Little: The Choke-and-Stroke Killer
    Jun 2 2025

    This week we cover the life and crimes of the most prolific serial killer in US history, Samuel Little. A monster the LAPD once dubbed "The Choke and Stroke Killer." Before he died in 2020 at the age of 80, he confessed to 93 murders. And the FBI have confirmed 62 of those murders and counting. Who was this guy? And how did he keep getting away with murders across America for over three decades?

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!

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!

Hilarious History
