Our Editor's Take

Timesuck with Dan Cummins is a podcast that does what its name indicates. Dan Cummins asks his listeners for topic suggestions and uses those ideas in every week's episode. Two hours may go by in a hurry when the host gets excited while talking about topics ranging from conspiracy theories to the occult. This podcast is the audio version of his YouTube video series.

Dan is a well-known comedian, television producer, and host of this podcast. He presents his hilarious perspective on historical events. But he's also a traveling standup comedian who's been on shows like Conan. Dan's often on the move, which necessitates frequent hotel stays. Listeners often hear humorous narrations about life on the road. His true crime tales may make fans gasp while he reveals troubling truths. Timesuck with Dan Cummins discusses many moments in history. He does them in a timeline format. Dan's incredible tales bring these events to life and make them funnier.

Each Timesuck with Dan Cummins episode consists of true events and people. Cult leaders, history, and murderers are popular topics. Dan does not limit himself. He even gets into controversial topics like immigration and gun control. Other topics include the Amanda Knox murder trial and Joseph Mengele's horrifying experiments. In several episodes, Dan goes through brutal World War II stories that listeners may not be familiar with. On a funnier note, he also does a George Carlin tribute episode.

Timesuck with Dan Cummins guides listeners on an immersive experience with unique characters and unimaginable stories. There is also a lot of silliness. The show has a mascot named Bojangles. He is a one-eyed, three-legged pitbull. Dan also tells stories about the “God of Timesuck”, an immortal, omnipotent space sasquatch named Nimrod. In every episode, he pledges mock-allegiance by saying, "Hail Nimrod."

New episodes drop every week. Fans of this show may also like Dan's other podcast, Scared To Death.

Kenneth McDuff killed three high school students the night of August 6th, 1966, repeatedly raping and sexually torturing one of them first. He'd be sent to death row for those crimes. But then, he'd have his sentence reduced to life in prison. And then, he'd get released on parole at the age of 43 and start killing again within 72 hours of leaving prison. Find out what legal changes made his release possible, and how his case drastically changed Texas's criminal justice system once he was caught and put back on death row.

400 - Molly and Michael Jackson: Rolling on the King of Pop!
Michael Jackson is the most successful solo act in the history of recorded music. Only the Beatles have sold more albums. He has the top selling album of all time, Thriller. And the 5th best selling album of all time, Bad. He was arguably the most famous man in the history of the world at his career's peak. But also.... a very troubled, beyond eccentric person who was creepy with kids, at best, or... a pedophile. I try and explore his life today... while fighting against the effects of a double-dose of Molly... for Timesuck's 400th episode.  Hail Nimrod and thanks for sticking around!! Watch the Suck on YouTube: https://youtu.be/fFiBZuI1prIMerch and more: www.badmagicproductions.com Timesuck Discord! https://discord.gg/tqzH89vWant to join the Cult of the Curious PrivateFacebook Group?

399 - Osage Murders: The True Story Behind Killers of the Flower Moon
The Osage Reign of Terror - dramatized recently in the 2023 award winning Martin Scorsese film, Killers of the Flower Moon based on the 2017 book of the same name - has been described as an epidemic of murders and mysterious deaths among the people of the Osage Nation. This is a wild story of a preposterous amount of corruption, conspiracy, and cold-blooded killing. Most experts state that at least sixty murders - and quite possibly HUNDREDS - were committed between 1918 and 1931, with the majority of murders taking place between 1921 and 1926 in just one rural county in Oklahoma. Watch the Suck on YouTube: https://youtu.be/miS0DxTcqRMMerch and more: www.badmagicproductions.com Timesuck Discord! https://discord.gg/tqzH89vWant to join the Cult of the Curious PrivateFacebook Group?

All in a delusional attempt to ignite a race war.  Find out how an abused and confused little boy named James Clayton Vaughn, Jr. transformed into a full grown monster, Joseph Paul Franklin. Watch the Suck on YouTube: https://youtu.be/G__kfGHdqi8Merch and more: www.badmagicproductions.com Timesuck Discord! https://discord.gg/tqzH89vWant to join the Cult of the Curious Private Facebook Group?

391 - Skinny Folks Go To Heaven: The Remnant Fellowship Cult
Did you ever think that overeating, specifically, could send your soul to Hell? Or that not losing enough weight, fast enough, could jeopardize your salvation? These are just some of the many terrible (and bizarre) messages that very skinny self-proclaimed "prophetess" Gwen Shamblin Lara preached before she died in a plane crash in 2021.   Sadly, the cultish church she built, lives on. And this week, we explore (and mock) its weirdly weight-centric teachings.Watch the Suck on YouTube: https://youtu.be/-3dKEiruxB4Merch and more: www.badmagicproductions.com Timesuck Discord! https://discord.gg/tqzH89vWant to join the Cult of the Curious Private Facebook Group?
